I mean even Morris Rosenberg excused such in his whataboutism to involve Harper because of course he would (why would he wish to be implicating Harper if he's just the head of a charity foundation that is supposed to have zero political affiliations)

The question that really should be asked is not how Trudeau can gain here, the question should be why would China believe that making a donation to a non-profitable charity would get better ties to Trudeau directly and was successful.
That should not be possible, yet it was. And upon finding out the shady dealing involving how the donation occured, Fournier has been spilling the beans on the shadiness behind the Trudeau Foundation (good on her). |
This is exactly what I'm asking. How would Trudeau benefit is the same question as why China thinks they would benefit by making the donation. The foundations finances are publicly available. Maybe I'm missing something here. It's not as though Xi hasn't been openly hostile to Trudeau since so I'm at a loss
There's clearly a scandal within the foundation, that much is clear. How this is tied to Justin Trudeau isn't clear to me.
