So the Feds wouldn’t give the CFL a $30 million interest free LOAN but it very quickly doled out $30 million to WE Charity even before the Liberal cabinet voted to give the charity the contract for the CSSG program. Most of that money has still not been returned. #Cdnpoli

Today’s lesson: When you ask the Federal Government for a 30 million dollar interest free loan, and they then ask to see your financial records and you say no, you’re probably not getting a 30 million dollar interest free loan from the Federal Govenment. #CFL
