LATEST QUESTIONABLE GOVERNMENT SCHEME

As reported in the Globe and Mail:

WE Charity offers teachers $12,000 each for recruiting at least 75 students for volunteer grant program.

Teachers may be able to make over double the amount of money recruiting students for the Canada Student Service Grant program from what students would make being in the program. WE Charity’s contract with the Canadian government to administer the CSSG has come under criticism for allegations of cronyism, given Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family’s close ties to the charity.

The CSSG offers students payment ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 for volunteer work done between June 25 and Oct. 31.
