Supreme Court revisits Trudeau-era WE Charity scandal in case that could reshape the law
January 12, 2026
The remnants of an early-pandemic political scandal land at the Supreme Court of Canada this week in a case that could have widespread ramifications, as the top court considers the limits of citizens’ ability to challenge some government decisions.
In June, 2020, then-prime minister Justin Trudeau said WE Charity, the international development group founded by the Kielburger brothers, would run a youth summer jobs program worth about $900-million. Conflict-of-interest accusations flared, and the plan was scrapped soon thereafter.
