"...Ministers are held accountable *by the Prime Minister* for their adherence to the provisions of the Conflict of Interest Act..."

These "conflict of interest" rules, like so many others, are tools for the selective punishment of political opponents, nothing more. Both Trudeau and Freeland are members of Schwab's "Young Global Leaders" cabal, and neither will be "held accountable".

The Davos WEF interlocks with the rest of the liberal-fascist Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) network. Kissinger was Schwab's mentor, and the CFR helped launch the WEF in 1971 while David Rockefeller was CFR chairman.

Billionaires Larry Fink (BlackRock), David Rubenstein (Carlyle) and Marc Benioff (Salesforce) are WEF trustees. Fink, pictured above, is a CFR director. Rubenstein is the CFR chairman. Benioff, who owns Time magazine, is a CFR member. www.weforum.org/about/leadership-and-governance

WEF member Fareed Zakaria is a CFR director, former editor of the CFR journal "Foreign Affairs", and a former editor at Time magazine. He is also a former member of the Trilateral Commission, a CFR affiliate. modernhistoryproject.org/mhp?Entity=ZakariaF

Other nodes in the CFR/UN/WEF network, founded and dominated by CFR members, include the Aspen Institute, Brookings, Peterson Institute, Clinton Global Initiative, and the Soros Open Society Foundation. Peterson was the CFR chairman after Rockefeller, Soros is a former CFR director, and the Clintons are CFR members.

All of these organizations are also "partners" with the Pinchuk Foundation in Ukraine, run by Jewish-Ukrainian billionaire Victor Pinchuk: pinchukfund.org/en/about_fund/partners/

Pinchuk Foundation regularly participates in the Davos WEF conferences, see their current news page. Freeland was a speaker at Pinchuk's WEF event in 2018: https://pinchukfund.org/en/projects/20/events/17654/ And at Pinchuk's Munich Security Conference event in 2019: https://pinchukfund.org/en/photo_and_video/photogallery/436/ etc.

Here's a 2020 profile of Pinchuk, with mention of his large "donations" to the Clinton Foundation and the Atlantic Council, another CFR affiliate linked to NATO: eurasianet.org/wooing-the-west-who-is-ukraines-viktor-pinchuk

Strangely enough, I find myself at a loss for words these days. I do hope you'll understand. In lieu of an insightful or witty comment on the universal treachery we find ourselves embedded within in these times of "universal deceit", I'll leave this quote, written more than 20 years ago, by the inimitable Wendell Berry, whose words are more relevant and resonant now than ever (to those who will pay attention):

From "Another Turn of the Crank"

"By this time, the era of cut-and-run economics ought to be finished. Such an economy cannot be rationally defended or even apologized for. The proofs of its immense folly, heartlessness, and destructiveness are everywhere. Its failure as a way of dealing with the natural world and human society can no longer be sanely denied. That this economic system persists and grows larger and stronger in spite of its evident failure has nothing to do with rationality or, for that matter, with evidence. It persists because, embodied now in multinational corporations, it has discovered a terrifying truth: If you can control a people’s economy, you don’t need to worry about its politics; its politics have become irrelevant. If you control people’s choices as to whether or not they will work, and where they will work, and what they will do, and how well they will do it, and what they will eat and wear, and the genetic makeup of their crops and animals, and what they will do for amusement, then why should you worry about freedom of speech? In a totalitarian economy, any "political liberties" that the people might retain would simply cease to matter. If, as is often the case already, nobody can be elected who is not wealthy, and if nobody can be wealthy without dependence on the corporate economy, then what is your vote worth? The citizen thus becomes an economic subject."
