So let me get this straight, @BardishKW and the civil service created a program for students to incentivize volunteering across Canada this summer during Covid. The non-profit they partnered with paid honorariums to “celebrities” to speak at their events (not unusual)...2
Said non-profit and speakers (crossing party lines) have been dragged through the mud by the @CPC_HQ and @NDP for a week now, the program has been cancelled, 475 ppl have been let go and 35,000 kids have no summer opportunities...3
This leaves me wondering several random things in #cdnpoli and #cdnmedia:
What is the criteria for “scandal”?
Is there a scale of outrage for the @CPC_HQ?
How many taxpayer dollars do they justify spending to unseat @JustinTrudeau with their continuous outrage? ...4

How long will taxpayers have to pay #MichelleRempel to live in Oklahoma?
When will she be returning?
Why is there no outrage about that?
I can’t ask her because she blocks and deletes any dissent on her wall and feed.
Isn’t that a lack of ethics and accountability? ...5

Why does #WE overshadow the fact that 2 RWNJ tried to assassinate the PM? When will the @CPC_HQ take any ownership for stoking the fires of aggression?...6
Why is @theJagmeetSingh and @AndrewScheer celebrating the loss of jobs and volunteer opportunities and the destruction of #WECharity?
Why are they saying the program would have cost $1B when $15M would’ve gone to WE and the remainder earmarked to students? ...7

Was it worth destroying #WECharity which has inspired MILLIONS of young Canadians? @CPC_HQ ...8
Was punishing @JustinTrudeau for agreeing to the cabinet decision to use WE - an organization clearly celebrated across party lines- worth destroying his mother #MargaretTrudeau whom millions of Canadians admire but countless Canadians smear daily? #maxbernier #misogyny ...9
Was #WECharity which was touted by Laureen Harper, Erin O’Toole, Scott Moe, Brian Pallister and Peter MacKay, not worthy or equipped to deliver this program more efficiently than any other? @CPC_HQ @AndrewScheer @theJagmeetSingh ...10
Was the real motivation behind the “scandal” the global messaging of #WECharity?
When did this program first come up? Who suggested WE? How much work had been done on the program before launch? Do we owe them any money for the work already done? @BardishKW ...11

When #cdnmedia helps elect the @CPC_HQ — and your newsrooms are cut in half with no more federal funding — will you congratulate yourselves for giving their “pundits” so much airtime? ...12
Could #cdnmedia consider any of these questions before salivating to tweet clickbait?
Could they remind themselves that they are supposed to be a force for good and not act like tabloids? #cdnpoli
