While we are all clearly worried about how a CPC MP in Peterborough dressed their kids up for Halloween mocking the Arrive Can app, quite shocking and deserving of mass condemnation from all of us, we have a ho hum secret recording that was just released by a whistleblower who has been calling in question SDTC's misappropriation of funds (paid by this carbon tax thing). Something about free money or something. Not sure, didn't pay much attention once I saw that shocking CPC MP tweet enraging me but here's the summary.

"It was free money," he said, before making an analogy with the controversy that affected Jean Chrétien's Liberal government in the early 2000s. "That is almost a sponsorship-scandal level kind of giveaway."
This follows an earlier CBC article

In their report, investigators raised questions about SDTC's decision to distribute $38 million in emergency "relief payments" in 2020 and 2021 to companies with which it had previous funding agreements.

Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton's report said these contributions "did not appear to be consistent with the requirements" of SDTC's contribution agreement with the government and "the payments do not require project cost eligibility or monitoring and reporting."
The SDTC, which appears to be funded through the currently very much in the news carbon tax was previously stopped earlier this month after the allegations came to light, but it somehow never got posted by our often well concerned posters here. I'm sure this was just an honest mistake.

But that kid dressed against his will with the Adscam costume? Unreal.
