The president and CEO of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation as well as its entire board of directors are resigning, citing the “politicization of the Foundation.”
“In recent weeks, the political climate surrounding a donation received by the Foundation in 2016 has put a great deal of pressure on the Foundation’s management and volunteer Board of Directors, as well as on our staff and our community,” reads a statement from the foundation issued Tuesday.
“The circumstances created by the politicization of the Foundation have made it impossible to continue with the status quo, and the volunteer Board of Directors has resigned, as has the President and CEO,” it also states.
Three directors will remain on the board on an interim basis to allow the organization to uphold its obligations while replacements are sought.
Over the last few months, the foundation has been referenced repeatedly amid reporting on foreign interference and alleged attempts by China to meddle in the 2021 and 2019 federal elections.

Too much wokeness????
Gee, this is too bad. Hopefully this will take Trudeau down.
Pierre Poilievre Rocks!
Apparently, they aren’t getting a salary. If they were taking home a cool half million each year, this would be handled differently. This tells me that when they came onboard this was a legitimate organization. But it became less legitimate and more a money/bribery scheme and they decided to leave.
LOL! No, no he doesn’t.
Just another liberal in sheep’s clothing. The west needs to go.
😳😂😂😂👍
Just guessing but this has the stink of a Kanadien money laundering/campaign finance scheme?
Shocked, I’m shocked that an organization named for a former prime minister and the (reputed) father of the current prime minister is politicized.
