How Trudeau Cheated to Promote Euthanasia

Disguised as a registered charity, The Pierre Elliot Trudeau Foundation has openly lobbied to change Canada’s Criminal Code, and they probably broke the law.

By Eric Foley and Stephen Pate – The Pierre Elliot Trudeau Foundation is the driving force behind the Trudeau Government support for euthanasia or assisted dying (MAiD).  Bill C-7 is against the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The Trudeau Foundation violated the Lobbying Act in promoting euthanasia. And the Trudeau Foundation conducted political activities in the process, which is not allowed for Registered Charities.

With an initial grant of $125 000,000 in tax dollars, the Foundation has used its charitable tax status to grow its wealth to $146,000,000.

Ghost of Pierre Trudeau Consumes Justin Trudeau On Assisted Suicide

In this episode, we detail the Trudeau fixation source on euthanasia, using a political foundation against the Canada Revenue Agency guidelines,  and how the Foundation built a cross-Canada cadre of euthanasia supporters using taxpayers’ dollars.

When you hear highly placed people defend euthanasia for various reasons, know they have been systematically brainwashed to adopt an emotionally repugnant idea. The Trudeau Foundation is at the root of this indoctrination. No one else had the money and prestige to execute the plan.

Euthanasia has many names as its promoters seek wide acceptance: assisted death, medical assistance in dying (MAiD), and the older dying with dignity. All of them disguise what it is – suicide by a doctor.

Pierre Elliot Trudeau & The Foundation

Pierre Elliot Trudeau was afraid of death and suicide. He wanted doctors to administer the poison cup. When that didn’t work, he laid a plan so his son Justin Trudeau could spend decades influencing Canadian lawmakers to accept suicide-on-demand or euthanasia. Today they are marketing suicide by a doctor as the acronym MAiD.

Justin Trudeau broke the law when he built an influence-peddling, lobbyist organization under a registered charity, The Pierre Elliot Trudeau Foundation. Will the government investigate?  In 2018. Trudeau had the law changed to allow political lobbying by charities, but until 2018 it was illegal,

This Trudeau scandal hasn’t got the attention of the media yet. The press is influenced by Trudeau’s government and Foundation’s grants. In 2016, The Foundation spent $385,000 on journalists Susan Delacourt (The Star), John Stackhouse (Globe and Mail), and others to help Foundation scholars “connect to networks in the realms of policy, human rights activism, international development, and journalism.” (Foundation page 29). In other words, connect with like-minded people who support euthanasia.

Registered charities banned from political influence peddling.

The Canada Revenue Agency regulates registered Charities in Canada since donors can make tax-deductible donations, and the charities are not taxed on their earnings. The Fraser Institute. for example, promotes public policy with a bias but does not lobby elected officials.

Before 2003, charities were not allowed to carry out any political activity.  On September 3, 2003, CRA opened up a small window. “This policy change should enable charities to carry out their public awareness programs more effectively.” The Fraser Institute is a conservative think tank that informs but does not lobby.   The Canadian Taxpayers Foundation comment directly on legislation and government regulations and is not a registered charity.

The rules for a registered charity excluded:

1. “explicitly communicates a call to political action (that is, encourages the public to contact an elected representative or public official and urges them to retain, oppose, or change the law, policy, or decision of any level of government in Canada or a foreign country)
2. explicitly communicates to the public that the law, policy, or decision of any level of government in Canada or a foreign country should be retained (if a government is reconsidering the retention of the law, policy or decision), opposed, or changed
3. explicitly indicates in its materials (whether internal or external) that the intention of the activity is to incite, or organize to put pressure on, an elected representative or public official to retain, oppose or change the law, policy, or decision of any level of government in Canada or a foreign country”  CRA policy statement 

I don’t want to bore the reader with tax law, but this is important since the  Trudeau Foundation has flouted the rules for most of its existence. It has both covertly and openly promoted legislation that would legalize euthanasia, the “good death” where doctors provided poison to the patient, and the patient dies.

If the law didn’t change, which the Foundation has lobbied, doctors who perform euthanasia would be guilty of murder under the Criminal Code. We emailed Mr. Thomas Ledwell, Senior Director, Global Development and Alumni, listed as the Foundation media contact for his comments. We have not received his reply yet.

The story begins with Pierre Trudeau on his death bed.

In 2000, Pierre Trudeau told his sons, Justin and Alexandre, to die with dignity, an assisted death. He didn’t want to receive treatment for Parkinson’s and Prostate Cancer.

Justin Trudeau told CBC Radio’s As It Happens (February 2015) that his family supports assisted death.  Trudeau on why he’s pushing for physician-assisted dying

“My father was always very insistent that he wanted to end his life in dignity, without being artificially extended, or supported in overly invasive ways.” Justin Trudeau told CBC Radio As It Happens (February 2015) We never quite got to the point of having to decide Physician-Assisted Death…He didn’t want to go through the kind of aggressive treatments that might have been there for his cancer.” Trudeau on why he’s pushing for physician-assisted dying

Pierre Trudeau’s plan to become a public activist for Assisted Dying ended when he died due to pneumonia and depression. If Pierre had not contracted pneumonia, he would have become an activist for assisted dying, similar to Sue Rodriguez, according to Justin.

In Canada, 93% of people treated for prostate cancer survive longer than five years. Pierre Trudeau’s opinion of treatment is an outlier and not supported by the facts. (Canadian Cancer Society)

Likewise, Parkinson’s’ is not considered a fatal disease, and most survivors live well beyond 20 years from the onset. The Profile of Long-term Parkinson’s Disease Survivors with 20 Years of Disease Duration and Beyond Pubmed

Pierre Trudeau’s reaction to Parkinson’s disrespects more than 80,000 Canadians who live with the disease.  Famous Canadians like actor Michael J. Fox have dispelled the stigma attached to the condition.  Diagnosed in 1991, Micheal did not give up. He is alive and well. Once he adapted to his new situation, he acted in acclaimed roles in movies and TV.  Unlike Trudeau who’s foundation promotes death, the “Michael J. Fox Foundation is dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson’s disease through an aggressively funded research agenda.”

The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation starts with an enormous gift from taxpayers.

A plan to change a country takes excellent long-term planning and dedication to execution. Justin Trudeau is nothing if not diligently carrying out his father’s dying wish, albeit at the expense of all Canadians.

In 2001  Justin and Alexandre Trudeau founded the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation with a 125 million dollar grant from the Jean Chretien Government.

The Foundation documents seem uplifting, philosophical and intellectual. It does not explicitly state the goal to promote assisted death or euthanasia. “From the beginning, the Foundation decided to centre our actions on four major themes that reflect central questions in the life and works of Pierre Elliott Trudeau: Human Rights and Dignity, Responsible Citizenship, Canada and the World and People and their Natural Environment.” The term Human rights is a code for euthanasia or assisted dying.

The Foundation has a brilliant plan to change the minds of Canadians.  University students get 3-year Scholarships with an emphasis on Trudeau’s philosophy.  Mentors are appointed as adult professionals to teach Trudeau’s philosophy, and graduates can get 3-year Fellowships to research more of Pierre Elliot Trudeau’s philosophy.  All awards come with travel expenses so Foundation meetings can share their ideas.

Over the past two decades, the Foundation has built an illustrious roster of directors and influencers and plenty of money to spread around Canada’s intellectual and political intelligentsia.

“An independent and non-partisan Canadian charity, the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation was established in 2001 as a living memorial to the former Prime Minister by his family, friends, and colleagues. In 2002, the Government of Canada endowed the Foundation with a $125 million donation with the House of Commons’ unanimous support. Besides, the Foundation benefits from private-sector donations in support of specific initiatives. Through its Scholarship, Fellowship, Mentorship and Public Interaction programs, the Foundation supports outstanding individuals who make meaningful contributions to critical social issues.” WebArchive

Money paid to influence university students and scholars.

You can buy a lot of mindshare for $125,000,000.

Fellows are paid $225,000. “The Trudeau Fellows Prize is $150,000 paid over three years, with an additional $25,000 per year available for approved travel and networking expenses within the framework of the Foundation’s programmes.”

Scholars are paid $200,000 as long as they are working on Foundation projects. “Scholarships are tenable for three years, with a possible extension for a fourth year upon proof of satisfactory progress. The stipend is $35,000 per year, including the cost of tuition and reasonable living expenses. An additional $15,000 is available to support approved research-related travel and to cover networking expenses associated with events and joint projects undertaken within the framework of the Foundation’s programmes.”  Annual Report of 2002/2003, page 7

Mentors are paid $70,000 again as long as they attend Foundation events. “Mentorships are tenable for one year but are renewable for a second year. The honorarium is $20,000 per year. An additional $15,000 is available to Mentors to cover approved expenses associated with events and joint projects undertaken within the framework of the Foundation’s programmes.” per the Annual Report of 2003/2004

A partisan political family foundation is used as a Trudeau family tool to shape change in Canada.  They “move Canada forward ” by imposing their political partisanship in activism by manipulating the public, educational and jurisprudence is a partisan political activity prohibited by the CRA for charities. Yet, the Trudeau Foundation has been allowed to do this.

The mentors and fellows get paid a salary to actively manipulate the political agenda shaping law and jurisprudence changes that the Partisan Foundation wants to achieve.

Despite all that spending, the Foundation had net assets of $146,000,000 at the end of 2020. The Pierre Trudeau Foundation makes the Trump Foundation look like amateurs.

It goes even more profound. When Justin Trudeau became the leader of the Liberal Party, MP’s and candidates received indoctrination sessions disguised as Foundation seminars.

In the next installment of this investigation, we will see how the Trudeau Foundation began to build its case for euthanasia, slowly but gathering steam as Justin Trudeau became the leader of the Liberal Party and ended in legislation when Justin became Prime Minister. The first euthanasia/dying-with-dignity Bill would not be the last as the Foundation juggernaut rolled forward.
