Americans opening their eyes to the WE organization

Nonprofit involved with 1,400 California schools being investigated by Canadian parliamentary committee


By Stephanie Sierra
Friday, April 9, 2021 10:00PM

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- A well-known international nonprofit that's promoted service work to more than 400,000 California students and has been highly endorsed by Gov. Gavin Newsom is being investigated in Canada.

A Parliamentary committee investigating WE Charity held a hearing Thursday about the nonprofit's business dealings. The charity became scrutinized after receiving a $900 million COVID contract in June to oversee a student service grant in Canada intended to help students with volunteering.

A similar program already existed.

"We all stopped and said wait... what?" said Charlie Angus, a Canadian member of Parliament, who sits on a committee investigating WE Charity for the past eight months.

"It didn't make sense."

What is WE Charity?​



WE Charity, formerly known as Free the Children, was founded in Canada in 1995 by two brothers, Craig and Marc Kielburger. It started as a club to ban child labor but transformed into one of the world's largest international nonprofits aimed to empower youth around the world.

"We want you to be empowered with whatever causes or issues you care about," the brothers said at a 2015 fundraiser in California.


More than 100 big corporations around the world have donated millions of dollars to the organization including, Google, Microsoft, Allstate, and Disney -- the parent company of ABC7.

WE Charity in California​



WE Charity officially launched in California in 2014. Gavin Newsom, who was lieutenant governor at the time, tweeted on March 26 of that year to welcome the charity's first statewide fundraiser "WE Day California" hosted inside the Oakland arena.

16,000 students from hundreds of schools across the state packed inside to watch celebrities like Selena Gomez, Orlando Bloom, and Seth Rogan perform sharing inspirational messages.

"You are changing the world," said Gomez to a crowd. "That's amazing."

In order to attend, students needed to do local and global acts of service. A common one was raising money to build schools for underprivileged kids in Kenya and Ecuador.

"These people want to make a change in this world," a young attendee told ABC7. "It's amazing."

The charity kept that amazing reputation up until June of last year.

How the scandal started​



The ABC7 I-Team spoke with Charlie Angus and Pierre Poilievre, both federal members of Parliament. They each represent two of Canada's four political parties.

"It all started with the COVID contract," Poilievre said. "It raised some eyebrows."

Poilievre is referring to the $900 million COVID contract WE Charity received to oversee a student service grant in Canada to help students with volunteering.

On March 12, 2021, the Kielburger brothers testified under oath they paid Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's family nearly a half-million dollars in speaking fees for WE Day events.

"The revelations just keep getting worse and worse," said Poilievre.

WE Charity's COVID contract was canceled last July after a huge public outcry prompting two Canadian Parliamentary committees to launch an investigation.

"What's really shocking about WE Charity is they seem to have an incredible capacity to deeply embed themselves with key political figures," Poilievre said.

Newsom, who was Lt. Gov. at the time, became co-chair of WE Day California with his wife, Jennifer, from 2014 to 2016. Newsom even sent a letter to former California State Superintendent Tom Torlakson encouraging all school districts and administrators to attend the inaugural year.

"No one is given a ticket here, you have to earn the right to get here," said Newsom at the charity's fundraiser in 2015.

The Newsoms spoke at WE Day California in 2015 along with San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo.

"To transform the world, starting right here in San Jose," Liccardo said.

Liccardo's office told ABC7 they have no record of any payment received from WE Charity for that speech given in 2015.

According to state public finance records, a couple of weeks before Newsom spoke at WE Day 2015, records indicate Newsom made a behested payment - which according to the Fair Political Practices Commission means he requested Comcast to make a donation to the nonprofit for $242,500.

Records show the following year another organization founded by the Kielburger brothers sent the Newsoms baby gifts worth $110.

The ABC7 I-Team reached out to the Governor's office for further comment but has yet to hear back.

"Certainly there's been a huge shift for WE USA," Angus told ABC7. "California is a big, big market in terms of the superstar status of people that get involved in WE Days and the donors. There's a lot of donor money."

$490 million has been raised for WE Charity across the U.S. since 2011, according to the charity's tax forms filed with the Internal Revenue Service.

So - where is it all going?

"We're all told this is to do with helping the children," Angus said. "But, actually tracking and figuring this out has pretty much stumped a parliamentary committee."

WE Charity claims on its website 90% of donations from the U.S. and Canada 'support programming' while only 10% goes towards 'administrative costs.'

"I'd like to commit to 100 schools around the world. 100 schools," Oprah Winfrey said in an interview with the Kielburger brothers.

Since the brothers appeared on Oprah in 2000, WE Charity claims 1,500 schools and school rooms have been built across the world with funds. But, the nonprofit has been unable to provide a list of each location to the Parliamentary committee.


"Can't tell us where those schools are, who the students are, who the teachers are," said Poilievre. "How can we even prove they exist?"

Trudeau didn't violate conflict rules over WE Charity: Ethics watchdog
Dion found Bill Morneau did violate the rules and should have recused himself

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been cleared of any wrongdoing in the WE Charity affair by the federal ethics watchdog but opposition parties aren’t willing to let the politically fraught controversy drop just yet.

Ethics commissioner Mario Dion ruled Thursday that Trudeau did not breach the Conflict of Interest Act when he failed to recuse himself from a cabinet decision last spring to have WE Charity administer a since-cancelled student services grant program.


However, in a separate report, Dion said former finance minster Bill Morneau did break the rules by failing to recuse himself and by showing preferential treatment to the charity, co-founded by his friends Craig and Marc Kielburger.

Trudeau expressed satisfaction with the ruling on him, saying it “confirms what I have been saying from the beginning.”

“At the heart of this initiative was getting support for youth during this pandemic as fast as possible,” he said in a statement.

But Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole suggested Trudeau got off on a technicality and promised, if he forms government, to introduce tougher rules that close loopholes and impose penalties for breaking the Conflict of Interest Act.

“Canadians are tired, Canadians are frustrated by the culture of entitlement and corruption that surrounds the Trudeau government,” he said.


“Canadians deserve better. The system is broken.”

NDP ethics critic Charlie Angus zeroed in on the Morneau report, calling it a “doozy” and indicative of a government that gives “blatant insider access for their cronies and their pals.”


Bloc Quebecois Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet issued a statement saying he respects Dion’s decision but adding that “the final judgment will rest with the voters.”

The WE affair has bedevilled the Liberal government since last summer, when it decided to pay the charity up to $43.5 million to administer a volunteer student grant program, which was initially budgeted to cost an estimated $912 million.

Although the contract specified that WE was not to make any profit from the arrangement, the decision prompted immediate controversy due to the charity’s close ties to Trudeau and his wife as well as to his mother and brother, both of whom had been paid to appear at some WE events over the years.

Morneau, whose daughter worked for the charity and who had made generous donations to it, also came under fire.

Both Trudeau and Morneau apologized at the time for not recusing themselves from the decision. WE Charity quickly withdrew from the program, which was eventually cancelled.

Nevertheless, various House of Commons committees launched investigations into the affair, some of which are ongoing.

In his report on Trudeau, Dion confirmed Trudeau’s version of events: that the choice of WE to manage the program was recommended by bureaucrats, that the prime minister initially balked at the idea and asked that they look for alternatives, and that he eventually signed off on the matter after bureaucrats determined WE was the only organization capable of managing the cross-country program.

“I believe that in the frenzy to distribute funds as expeditiously as possible to those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, there were some departures from the ordinary process of policy development,” Dion said.

“In my view, the creation and eventual ratification of the (Canada Student Services Grant) was not done improperly.

Dion concluded that there was no friendship between Trudeau and the Kielburgers, that Trudeau did not give them preferential treatment and that neither he nor his relatives stood to benefit, even indirectly, from the decision to have WE administer the program.

Although the connection between Trudeau’s relatives and WE created the appearance of a conflict of interest, Dion said: “The appearance of a conflict of interest does not constitute a contravention of the act; the conflict must be real.”

Dion arrived at a very different conclusion for Morneau, who abruptly quit politics in August as the WE affair dominated headlines and reports circulated about a disagreement between him and Trudeau over COVID-19 pandemic spending.

Dion said Morneau “gave WE preferential treatment by permitting his ministerial staff to disproportionately assist it when it sought federal funding.”

“I believe this unfettered access to the Office of the Minister of Finance was based on the identity of WE’s representative, Mr. Craig Kielburger,” Dion wrote.

Dion found Craig Kielburger fell under his office’s interpretation of a friend to Morneau, which meant the former minister should have known it created the potential for conflict.

He noted that in 2017 Craig Kielburger wrote to Morneau that he and his spouse were expecting a baby and he was “among the first to know.”

Other emails show Morneau’s staff referred to Kielburger as a “dear friend” of the office, that communications between ministerial staff and WE representatives happened on a first-name basis and included colloquialisms like “Hey friend.”

Dion said Morneau put himself in conflict several times, had the opportunity to “improperly further WE’s private interests” and should have recused himself from debate on the program as soon as he learned that WE would play an important role in it.

In a written statement, Morneau said the report concludes the public service decided WE Charity should administer the program.

“As I have already stated, in retrospect, I should have recused myself from the discussion,” Morneau wrote in a statement shared on Twitter.

A statement Thursday from WE Charity said Dion has confirmed the choice to give the contract to the organization “was subject to extensive scrutiny and that WE Charity was the only organization equipped” to manage the program.

“Through this procurement process, WE Charity did not determine the value of the contract, or the decision to sole-source. WE Charity did not have any input into the government’s procurement process, including the decision whether to recuse,” it said.

The charity’s lawyer, Guy Giorno, one-time chief of staff to former Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper, commended Dion for giving Trudeau and Morneau due process, which he said has been denied the charity during committee hearings.

The charity is now shutting down its Canadian operations largely as a result of the controversy.

Last fall, Dion cleared Morneau of failing to disclose a gift from the charity. He accepted that the former minister “genuinely believed” he had paid for two trips his family took in 2017 to visit WE’s humanitarian projects in Ecuador and Kenya, saying Morneau reimbursed it $41,000 after learning the charity had covered his expenses.

This marks the third time Trudeau has been investigated by the federal ethics commissioner.

In 2019, Dion concluded Trudeau did violate the rules the year before by improperly pressuring then-attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould, now an Independent MP, to halt the criminal prosecution of the Montreal engineering giant SNC-Lavalin.

Dion’s predecessor, Mary Dawson, earlier found Trudeau broke the rules when his family accepted a 2016 vacation at the private island in the Bahamas owned by the Aga Khan.

DION’S REPORT
Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner Maario Dion today released the Trudeau III Report, which examined allegations of conflict of interest by the Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, when he participated in the decisions on whether to award funding for the WE organization’s Social Entrepreneurship program and select WE as the administrator of the Canada Student Service Grant (CSSG) in the spring of 2020. Mr. Trudeau, his spouse, his mother and his brother have been involved in WE’s activities for several years.

Having reviewed more than 40,000 pages of documents from the Honourable Bill Morneau, Mr. Trudeau, and 13 witnesses, it was made clear during the examination process that the federal public service was grappling with how to properly and rapidly align a volunteer and grant-based student program amidst the uncertainty of the evolving COVID-19 pandemic. In his report Commissioner Dion finds that there was no conflict of interest on the part of Mr. Trudeau in making the two decisions pertaining to funding and WE.

In coming to this conclusion, Commissioner Dion analyzed various relevant parts of the Conflict of Interest Act (Act) as concerns about conflicts and preferential treatment were almost immediately brought to his attention by Mr. Michael Barrett, Member of Parliament for Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes and Mr. Charlie Angus, Member of Parliament for Timmins–James Bay, shortly after the program was announced.

Convenient Morneau was available to take the hit, not that there is one. Canada elected a kid to try and run the country. We're paying now.

Thank gawd that there are still some sane Canadians left, like this person with that flag on their patio, who wants to see communist Castro Turdeau gone forever. Both old man and young punk Trudeau's have phk'd up Canada so much that the old Canada that I grew up in is just about all gone. it does not even look like the old Canada anymore. Where we use to say Tom, Dick and Harry, now we pretty much have to say, Singh, Wong and Mohammed.
Those two french arse holes have never done one dam thing good for Canada to try and keep Canada great. They both hated English Canada and were out to destroy English Canada. They have done a pretty good job alright at trying to destroy English Canada. Two bloody bastards indeed. Just saying!!
