ICYMI - Rex Murphy: Who cancelled the WE contract — and why?
Apparently, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also thought there was some explanatory power in telling us that the deal was “unfortunate.” Unfortunate for whom and why was it unfortunate? “Unfortunate” is a very lame and evasive word for messing up a $900-million deal.
Did the Kielburger brothers find some weakness, some flaw, in their ability to administer the program after they agreed to do so? Did they discover that they couldn’t do what they thought only they could do? That must have been a shock. Institutions do not drop billion-dollar agreements lightly. Not even the very trendy ones whose CEOs wear T-shirts and prattle on about empowerment and mindfulness. This arrangement offered WE much more than just money. This one particular contract involved no less than a partnership with the Government of Canada, an endorsement of the highest calibre and status.
This contract amounted to the greatest, most prestigious endorsement that Kielburger Inc. has ever received. So what blew it up? Why did they ultimately decline it? It would be very easy to unravel this element. Craig and Marc Kielburger have only to step out and tell us what happened — no stadium required. With nothing possibly awry , there’s no reason to hold back. All they have to do is tell the tale of how they were brought in, and why they had to walk away.
