Trudeau’s Latest Scandal: Billions in Indigenous Procurement Fraud Exposed in Explosive OGGO Committee 145

As Trudeau Dodges Accountability on Foreign Interference, His Government’s Systemic Corruption in Indigenous Procurement is Revealed—Witness: “Billions Stolen by Fake Indigenous Businesses”
This week, Justin Trudeau was grilled during the Hogue Inquiry on foreign interference—a spectacle where, despite all his smoke and bluster, no one was named as traitors. Classic Trudeau: all talk, no action. But while the Prime Minister was busy dodging accountability on the global stage, a new scandal was brewing right under our noses. It’s not just foreign interference, WE Charity, SNC-Lavalin, his Green Slush Fund, or ArriveCAN. Oh no, it’s much worse.
For someone who loves to virtue-signal about reconciliation, Trudeau’s record on actually helping Indigenous communities is crumbling. Yesterday’s Meeting No. 145 of the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates (OGGO) tore apart the Liberal façade of caring about Indigenous rights. The truth? Fraud, corruption, and negligence are running rampant within Trudeau’s government, and it’s Indigenous people who are paying the price.
Witnesses from the Ghost Warrior Society and PLATO Testing exposed just how deep the rot goes. Crystal Semaganis, the leader of the Ghost Warrior Society, and Denis Carignan, president of PLATO Testing, laid out in chilling detail how fake Indigenous businesses are stealing billions of dollars meant for real Indigenous communities, all while Trudeau’s government sits back and lets it happen.
So, while Trudeau might want you to think he’s the champion of reconciliation, this committee revealed the real story: Trudeau’s corruption is systemic, and it’s Indigenous people who are being exploited. It’s time we dive into the committee and expose this latest chapter in the Trudeau scandal saga. Buckle up.
Trudeau’s Newest Scandal- Indigenous Procurement
The OGGO committee hearing on Indigenous procurement was supposed to be a moment of reckoning—a chance for the Trudeau government to finally come clean about the rampant fraud within its own ranks. Instead, what we witnessed was a masterclass in Liberal deflection, corruption, and the complete and total betrayal of the Indigenous communities Justin Trudeau pretends to care about.
This wasn’t just another day in Ottawa where Liberals paid lip service to reconciliation. Oh no, this committee meeting exposed the stunning hypocrisy at the heart of the Trudeau government. What the Liberals don’t want you to know is that billions of dollars—yes, billions—have been stolen by fake Indigenous businesses, all under the nose of the Trudeau government. And guess what? They’ve done nothing to stop it.
The star witness, Crystal Semaganis, leader of the Ghost Warrior Society, laid it out for everyone to see. These fraudulent actors—companies and individuals pretending to be Indigenous—have exploited a broken system where no one verifies Indigenous identity. According to Semaganis, billions of dollars in contracts meant to uplift Indigenous communities have been stolen by what she called “corporations posing as Indigenous Nations (CPIN).”
She even gave specific examples: one company alone has raked in $163 million since 1994 by pretending to be Indigenous. That’s right—$163 million. And how did this happen? Because the Trudeau government relies on an honor system for verifying Indigenous identity. You heard that right: an honor system. And because there’s no centralized system to authenticate claims, anyone can say they’re Indigenous, grab a few million in contracts, and laugh all the way to the bank.
Let’s be clear about what’s happening here: real Indigenous people are being robbed by these fraudsters, and the government is standing by, doing nothing. No oversight. No accountability. No legal consequences.
Larry Brock and Garnett Genuis: The Conservatives Fight Back
Thankfully, the Conservative MPs on this committee didn’t let Trudeau’s government get away with this fraud without a fight. Larry Brock (MP for Brantford—Brant) and Garnett Genuis (MP for Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan) came out swinging, and they weren’t about to let the Liberals dodge accountability.
Brock, in particular, delivered a fiery takedown of the Liberal corruption machine. He pointed out that this kind of fraud doesn’t happen in a vacuum. No, this is part of a pattern of corruption that starts at the top—with Justin Trudeau himself. From WE Charity to SNC-Lavalin and now this Indigenous procurement scandal, it’s clear the Trudeau Liberals have made an art form out of covering up fraud and protecting their political cronies.
Brock wasn’t just making vague accusations—he linked it all together. He reminded the committee that, just like with ArriveCAN and WE Charity, the Liberals’ first instinct is always to protect their own. They obstruct, delay, and stall investigations until the truth is buried so deep that Canadians move on. But Brock wasn’t going to let this scandal go the same way. He grilled the witnesses, demanding answers on how these fake Indigenous entities could steal billions while the Trudeau government sat on its hands.
Garnett Genuis: “This government has a pattern of shutting down committees and avoiding accountability whenever it gets uncomfortable. They don’t want the truth, they want the scandal buried!”
Garnett Genuis, meanwhile, delivered the knockout punch. He didn’t mince words when he accused the Trudeau government of deliberately choosing not to act. Genuis pointed out that this fraud has been happening for years, and yet the government has refused to implement any kind of legal framework to stop it. Why? Because they benefit from the status quo. The fake Indigenous businesses walking away with billions in contracts? Many of them have deep connections within the Liberal Party. It’s not just negligence—it’s complicity.
The Liberal Stall: A Pattern of Dodging Accountability
But what did the Liberal MPs do in response to these explosive revelations? Did they express outrage? Did they vow to put an end to this fraud? Of course not. Instead, they did what Liberals always do when caught in a scandal: stall and deflect.
Sameer Zuberi, Jenica Atwin, and Majid Jowhari spent their time filibustering, offering vague platitudes about “improving the process” and “working together” to help Indigenous communities. Zuberi, the MP for Pierrefonds—Dollard, tried to steer the conversation toward how the government could improve future Indigenous business opportunities, conveniently sidestepping the massive fraud happening right now under his government’s watch.
Atwin, MP for Fredericton, delivered a particularly pathetic performance, rambling about reconciliation without once addressing the real issue of billions being stolen. And Majid Jowhari MP for Richmond Hill? Well, he focused on processes and frameworks, pretending the fraud revelations weren’t even the central issue.
These Liberals weren’t interested in getting to the bottom of this scandal. They were only interested in running out the clock, hoping the committee would end before anyone could connect the dots between this fraud and Trudeau’s corruption.
Final Thoughts
Let’s stop pretending that Justin Trudeau and his Liberals are going to do anything about this. They won’t. They’ve been caught red-handed, allowing billions to be stolen from Indigenous communities by fraudulent actors, and their only response has been to stall, deflect, and cover up. That’s their playbook. But we can’t let them get away with it.
It’s time for the opposition to step up—to do what this government refuses to do. The Conservatives, like Larry Brock and Garnett Genuis, need to pull the rug off this scandal and shine a light on the rot that’s taken hold of Indigenous procurement. We can’t let this cancer of corruption continue to fester under the surface while Trudeau and his cronies pat themselves on the back for their so-called reconciliation.
This isn’t just about fraud—it’s about honor and patriotism. We owe it to the Indigenous communities of this country to fight for them when their government won’t. We owe it to every hardworking taxpayer who sees their dollars funneled into fraudulent schemes, enriching those who know how to game the system. This is a battle for the soul of Canada, and it’s a battle that the opposition must take head-on.
If we believe in truth, if we believe in justice, then we can’t stop until every fake Indigenous business, every fraudulent actor, and every Liberal enabler is exposed. The cancer must be cut out. Canada deserves better. Our Indigenous people deserve better. And it’s time to hold this government to account, once and for all.
The opposition has a duty to tear down the curtain and show Canadians what’s really going on behind Trudeau’s façade of virtue-signaling. This isn’t just about politics—it’s about the future of our country, and the integrity of our government.
It’s time to act. Pull the rug off, expose the cancer, and take our country back.

WEF-linked Linda Yaccarino to step down as CEO of X

From LifeSiteNews
Yaccarino had raised concerns among conservatives and free speech advocates for previously serving as chairwoman of a World Economic Forum taskforce and promoting DEI and the COVID shots.
X CEO, Linda Yaccarino, announced today that she is departing from her position at the social media giant.
“After two incredible years, I’ve decided to step down as CEO of 𝕏,” wrote Yaccarino on X.
“When Elon Musk and I first spoke of his vision for X, I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime to carry out the extraordinary mission of this company,” she continued. “I’m immensely grateful to him for entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and transforming X into the Everything App.”
“I’m incredibly proud of the X team – the historic business turn around we have accomplished together has been nothing short of remarkable,” she said.
After two incredible years, I’ve decided to step down as CEO of 𝕏.
When @elonmusk and I first spoke of his vision for X, I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime to carry out the extraordinary mission of this company. I’m immensely grateful to him for entrusting me…
— Linda Yaccarino (@lindayaX) July 9, 2025
Musk hired Yaccarino in May 2023, seven months after his $44 billion purchase of the tech company, then known as “Twitter.”
At the time, Musk’s choice to take the helm at his newly acquired company raised eyebrows among conservative observers who had earlier rejoiced at the tech mogul’s intent to rescue free speech on the internet but now were troubled about the credentials of the digital platform’s new head.
Their concerns were not without good reason.
Yaccarino had previously served as chairwoman of the World Economic Forum’s “future of work” taskforce and sat on the globalist group’s “steering committee” for “media, entertainment, and culture industry.”
She had also boasted about her role as an early cheerleader for the untested COVID-19 jab.
As 2021–2022 Ad Council Chair, she “partnered with the business community, the White House, and government agencies to create a COVID-19 vaccination campaign, featuring Pope Francis and reaching over 200 million Americans,” according to her biography page at NBCUniversal, where she had been president before being lured to Twitter by Musk.
While at NBCUniversal, she also pushed discriminatory, equity-based hiring practices, based on “diversity” characteristics such as gender and race.
“At NBCU, she uses the power of media to advance equity and helps to launch DEI [Diversity, Equity, Inclusion]-focused initiatives,” recounted her online biography.
For the most part, over the last two years, Yaccarino’s performance at X allayed suspicions free speech activists at first harbored.
“Honestly, I was worried when she was hired but she didn’t burn down the house,” quipped popular conservative X account, @amuse.
Mike Benz, who serves as executive director of the Foundation For Freedom Online, a free speech watchdog organization dedicated to restoring the promise of a free and open internet, was far more effusive in his praise of Yaccarino.
“Linda stood up and fought for free speech during arguably its most acute crisis moment in world history when we were almost on the brink of losing it,” said Benz in an X post. “She stepped up for all of us in the face of what seemed like insurmountable pressure from governments, advertisers, boycotters, banking institutions, and astroturfed lynch mobs.”

Federal government should swiftly axe foolish EV mandate

From the Fraser Institute
Two recent events exemplify the fundamental irrationality that is Canada’s electric vehicle (EV) policy.
First, the Carney government re-committed to Justin Trudeau’s EV transition mandate that by 2035 all (that’s 100 per cent) of new car sales in Canada consist of “zero emission vehicles” including battery EVs, plug-in hybrid EVs and fuel-cell powered vehicles (which are virtually non-existent in today’s market). This policy has been a foolish idea since inception. The mass of car-buyers in Canada showed little desire to buy them in 2022, when the government announced the plan, and they still don’t want them.
Second, President Trump’s “Big Beautiful” budget bill has slashed taxpayer subsidies for buying new and used EVs, ended federal support for EV charging stations, and limited the ability of states to use fuel standards to force EVs onto the sales lot. Of course, Canada should not craft policy to simply match U.S. policy, but in light of policy changes south of the border Canadian policymakers would be wise to give their own EV policies a rethink.
And in this case, a rethink—that is, scrapping Ottawa’s mandate—would only benefit most Canadians. Indeed, most Canadians disapprove of the mandate; most do not want to buy EVs; most can’t afford to buy EVs (which are more expensive than traditional internal combustion vehicles and more expensive to insure and repair); and if they do manage to swing the cost of an EV, most will likely find it difficult to find public charging stations.
Also, consider this. Globally, the mining sector likely lacks the ability to keep up with the supply of metals needed to produce EVs and satisfy government mandates like we have in Canada, potentially further driving up production costs and ultimately sticker prices.
Finally, if you’re worried about losing the climate and environmental benefits of an EV transition, you should, well, not worry that much. The benefits of vehicle electrification for climate/environmental risk reduction have been oversold. In some circumstances EVs can help reduce GHG emissions—in others, they can make them worse. It depends on the fuel used to generate electricity used to charge them. And EVs have environmental negatives of their own—their fancy tires cause a lot of fine particulate pollution, one of the more harmful types of air pollution that can affect our health. And when they burst into flames (which they do with disturbing regularity) they spew toxic metals and plastics into the air with abandon.
So, to sum up in point form. Prime Minister Carney’s government has re-upped its commitment to the Trudeau-era 2035 EV mandate even while Canadians have shown for years that most don’t want to buy them. EVs don’t provide meaningful environmental benefits. They represent the worst of public policy (picking winning or losing technologies in mass markets). They are unjust (tax-robbing people who can’t afford them to subsidize those who can). And taxpayer-funded “investments” in EVs and EV-battery technology will likely be wasted in light of the diminishing U.S. market for Canadian EV tech.
If ever there was a policy so justifiably axed on its failed merits, it’s Ottawa’s EV mandate. Hopefully, the pragmatists we’ve heard much about since Carney’s election victory will acknowledge EV reality.
