Charity Intelligence

In 2020, amid the federal opposition’s attack on WE Charity and
Prime Minister Trudeau, the media coverage gave credence to an obscure charity rating organization called Charity Intelligence. The organization, itself a registered charity, has deep financial ties to the
Conservative Party.

Kate Bahen, the Managing Director of Charity Intelligence, appeared in over 1,300 media reports on the so-called “scandal”, becoming the
de facto expert in the attack on WE Charity and the Kielburgers despite issuing many statements proven to be false.

After the Canadian Student Services Grant scandal, Prime Minister Trudeau’s approval ratings, then at their highest point, plummeted and have never recovered.

These articles explore how Charity Intelligence operates. Given that it is a registered charity, transparency is a two-way street.
