This government truly has set the Canadian record for corruption and the way they use the US for cover is quite the unique phenomena.
All we need to really know about this one is that the payments to the Trudeau family were massive and that Sophie is a serious violator of all ethical standards.
Sophie is who they're protecting in all of this. Her entire career is in the "charity" industries and I'd bet that goes a lot further than just the WE "charity."
I anyone is an autist then the next Liberal scandal could be uncovered by looking at Sophie's charity history and government funding I'd bet. Give that a gander if you're in the mood.
So just from wikipedia we can see that she started her media career at a Quebecor-owned company while Mulroney was on the board of directors, she got on E-talk after being introduced to CTV executives at a charity event, she's worked with every popular women's charity group at times when they were in the news and looking for government funding.
She's a childhood friend of Trudeau, her career was on the downhill and she was working as a personal shopper when she reconnected with him then all of a sudden she's associated with more and more charities, get an e-talk position at one of their galas, goes on trips with Margaret Trudeau to more charities, has it documented by the CBC even and it would be entirely reasonable to assume that every single one of those charities was receiving government money?!?!
There is something very fishy about this and I'd suspect that looking into Sophie would be at the core.
They've been using the "protecting the Prime Minister's wife, a private citizen" excuse an awful lot during this affair and while it may because she's pretty and a mother, I'd say it's more likely that Sophie is where the serious ethics breeches happened.
