…but whatever happened with his personal fortune…shame it couldn’t have happened to the Canadian pension plan…but here we are.
Whatever happened…it doesn’t seem to currently be newsworthy, but it is interesting.
We'll fund out soon enough. The guy is a walking mistake.…but whatever happened with his personal fortune…shame it couldn’t have happened to the Canadian pension plan…but here we are.
Well, thankfully for him, his own personal finances where in that blind trust that he couldn’t influence or manipulate…& thus increased by 8000% or something like that while he was Prime Minister.
Anyway, this is just an aside, & the question was:
???
Who is managing it on his behalf? That's probably the best place to start looking.
What Chinese agents and their surrogates were always attempting to do was ensure a handful or more of Beijing-friendly MPs ended up sitting in the caucus of the winning party.
Mission accomplished. China’s Communist government was never trying to rig the nationwide outcome of either the 2019 or 2021 elections. And anyone who was hoping the Commission on Foreign Interference led by Justice Marie-Josée Hogue was going to uncover a widespread plot to keep Justin Trudeau’s Liberals in office was always going to be unsatisfied.
Hogue asked in her 194-page report, released last Friday, “Was there foreign interference targeting the 2019 and 2021 general elections? Yes, I have no difficulty concluding that there was.”

“People are right to be worried and to want to shine a light on what is going on,” Hogue wrote. The level of interference was “troubling,” even if it did not swing the whole of the election in favour of the Liberals.
And she concluded that while other foreign governments were actively interfering, too – notably Iran and India – China was far and away the most active.
In its conclusions, Hogue’s public inquiry was vastly more sensible than the two previous inquiries the Liberals put in place.
In February 2023, the committee of bureaucrats the Liberals had appointed to watch out for interference in the 2021 election concluded there was “no evidence to indicate foreign state actors” had meddled in the campaign.
And, of course, last May, former governor general and “special rapporteur,” David Johnston, a long-time Trudeau family friend, found there had been interference, but held cabinet entirely blameless. “I have not found examples of ministers, the Prime Minister or their offices knowingly ignoring intelligence, advice or recommendations on foreign interference or being driven by partisan considerations in dealing with these issues.”
One thing Hogue appears to have uncovered that has gone largely unsaid, even in her report, is that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau knew of the foreign interference early on in events (meaning before the 2019 election), but ignored or downplayed Chinese meddling solely to improve Liberal election chances.
