Scrap the green corporate slush fund
From the Canadian Taxpayers Federation
Author: Franco Terrazzano
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is calling on the federal government to scrap the Sustainable Development Technology Canada slush fund and halt all program funding following today’s scathing Auditor General Report.
“Tens of millions of taxpayers’ money was improperly spent and taxpayers demand accountability, but so far the government has not gone nearly far enough,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director. “This slush fund must go.”
The Auditor General found major failings in the SDTC’s handling of taxpayers’ money, including awarding $76 million to companies where conflict of interest rules weren’t followed.
The SDTC awarded $59 million to companies that did not meet eligibility requirements, according to the report.
“We found that Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada did not sufficiently assess and monitor Sustainable Development Technology Canada’s processes to award funding,” according to the Auditor General. “We also found that the department did not monitor conflicts of interest at the foundation.”
Following the Auditor General’s report, Innovation Minister François-Philippe Champagne announced that SDTC funding will continue, with the foundation to be transitioned under the control of the National Research Council “over the coming months.”
“Time and time again we see this government blow tens of millions of tax dollars without proper guardrails,” Terrazzano said. “Rolling this program under a different arm of the government is not a solution, because taxpayers can’t trust this government to protect the public purse.
“It’s time to turn off the taps.”
The SDTC approved $856 million in funding between March 2017 through December 2023.

Around the same time Chrystia Freeland announced she is running to replace Trudeau as leader of the Liberal Party, citizens noticed that her World Economic Forum page has been deleted from the globalist group’s website.
Former finance minister and deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland’s World Economic Forum (WEF) page has been deleted around the same time she announced her bid for leadership of the Liberal Party.
On January 19, Freeland, who recently resigned from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet, announced that she would run for Liberal leader now that Trudeau says he is stepping down. Around this time, the WEF’s profile on Freeland was taken down from their website.
“Sorry, but we can’t find the page you were looking for,” the page now says after clicking on the link which originally brought users to Freeland’s WEF profile. The page is still viewable via the internet archive, which notes that she is on the Board of Trustees for the globalist group best known for its infamous “Great Reset” agenda.
In addition to the WEF page being deleted, the majority of Freeland’s Instagram posts have been removed from public view.
Many have speculated online as to the reason why these actions were taken, with some suggesting that Freeland desires to distance herself from the massively criticized group.
Critics often pointed to Freeland’s association with the group during her tenure as finance minister and deputy prime minister, as she was known for pushing policies endorsed by the globalist organization, such as the carbon tax and online censorship.
Freeland’s ties to the WEF seem extensive, with her receiving a personal commendation from former WEF leader Klaus Schwab.
Freeland is perhaps best known internationally for her heavy-handed response to anti-mandate Freedom Convoy protesters, which saw the then-finance minister direct financial institutions to freeze the bank accounts of Canadians who participated in or donated to the protest.
One of Freeland’s main opponents in the Liberal leadership race, Mark Carney, also has ties to the WEF, and has similarly come under fire from critics for pushing their globalist agenda.

Poilievre calls likely Trudeau replacement Mark Carney the World Economic Forum’s ‘golden boy’
From LifeSiteNews
‘He is the golden boy of the World Economic Forum and he will be a disaster if he ever gets anywhere close to power’
The leader of Canada’s Conservative Party, Pierre Poilievre, had choice words for Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney’s ties to global elites, calling him out as the “golden boy” for the World Economic Forum.
“He is the golden boy of the World Economic Forum and he will be a disaster if he ever gets anywhere close to power,” Polievre said in a video posted to X on Monday.
Poilievre added that the reason “we know” Carney will be a “disaster” is that “he has been Justin Trudeau’s personal economic advisor” for years.
“If you think that Justin Trudeau has done a bad job on the economy, you know who’s been pulling his strings,” the Conservative Party leader added.
“Carbon tax Carney. They’re both [Carney and Chrystia Freeland] … just like Justin, and that’s why we need a carbon tax election to fire them all and bring home a common-sense Conservative government,” he said.
As referenced by Poilievere, Carney has worked closely with the WEF for years, in addition to serving in top roles as a central banker in both England and Canada.
The banker has also endorsed the carbon tax and even criticized Trudeau when he exempted home heating oil from the tax.
The Liberal Party of Canada will choose its next leader, who will automatically become prime minister, on March 9, after Trudeau announced that he plans to step down as Liberal Party leader once a new leader has been chosen.
Just last week, Carney drew headlines after no less than four journalists from independent media were forcefully barred from attending his Liberal Party leadership candidacy press conference.
