While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau insists he has “absolutely no intersection” with the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation, the nonprofit uncannily mirrors the worst characteristics and impulses of his Liberal government. Chief among them, hubris.
On Tuesday, the foundation’s former president and CEO Morris Rosenberg testified in front of the House of Commons privacy and ethics committee about the now-infamous $200,000 donation it accepted with links to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Rosenberg led the nonprofit at the time and would like MPs and Canadians to write off the controversy as little more than good old-fashioned naivete rather than reckless arrogance.
