Ouch!

However, we have real concerns with plans announced Tuesday by the Liberal government to hand $20 million over to the Clinton Foundation to “support projects that will provide critical sexual and reproduction health (SRH) services” around the world.

The Clinton’s have earned millions from their association with the foundation, not from direct compensation, but through book and speaking tour fees.

Bill Clinton, for example, reportedly received $26 million in speaking fees from organizations that donated to the foundation.

Meanwhile, the lavish foundation-related travel needs of the Clintons – including first-class tickets and charter planes – are covered by its donors.

More problematically, the foundation was at the heart of the cash-for-access scandal that dogged Hillary during her failed bid for the U.S. presidency.

While Hillary was Secretary of State, the Clinton foundation received millions from rich and powerful donors, including foreign governments – many of whom were seeking favorable decisions from the U.S. State Department.

Three days and no comment? Hmmm

None of the Canadians I work with care for Trudeau very much. They think he got elected because he is handsome and young.

Haven't the Clintons shut down the fund-raising for the Clinton Foundation?

Probably not a bad strategy.

On the other hand, all the Canadians I work with love Trudeau. Anecdotes are fun.

Yet more confirmation (not that any was necessary) of my feelings about the last presidential election: 350 million people, and these are the best two options we can come up with?

Then why are they here, instead of Canada?

That was too hard to resist.

All the Canadians that I know hate the Conservatives. At least they still live there. Thankfully.

My Canadian colleagues are the kind of Canadians that pay taxes. That may explain the difference.
