WE Charity announced this week that it is ending all Canadian operations, a development set against the backdrop of a national political scandal. Jaren Kerr, a journalist who broke many stories about the inner workings of the WE organization, takes us inside and looks back at the charity that seemingly couldn’t falter, but now finds itself in a tailspin.
The WE Charity controversy continues to rage on for the Liberal government and this week, the first victim has been claimed. Finance Minister Bill Morneau and MP of Toronto-Centre resigned from his post on Monday. And less than 24 hours after Morneau’s resignation, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland is brought into the fold with a cabinet shuffle, becoming Canada’s first female finance minister. Tonda MacCharles, senior reporter on federal politics for the Toronto Star, talks to Adrian Cheung about Morneau’s resignation, the controversy Trudeau finds himself engulfed in (again), and the emerging image of a federal government sliding into crisis.
