I am totally behind on this topic, but wouldn't paying students for volunteer work make it not volunteer work?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other federal officials have repeatedly said that WE Charity was the “only organization” capable of delivering the $543.5-million CSSG, which would pay students for volunteer work.

Anyone still following this? How does this continue after the prorogue? I suppose one can *hope* that the RCMP is actually "examining" things...

Insanity.

I love the old Trudeau quotes they're bringing up throughout this thing, demonstrating his brutal hypocrisy.

I can't stand listening to the guy talk, so I pretty much missed anything he had to say up til this WE scandal thing. What a shitbird.
