Billions Of Dollars in Fraud Exposed in Jordan's Principle Program
Allegations were made today on Reddit about widespread fraud in the Jordan's Principle Program.
The idea behind Jordan's Principle (JP) was to provide funding for medical needs for Indigenous children. However, as so often happens with government programs, JP payouts were quickly abused. Hot water tanks, hotel stays, rent payments, back taxes, and an extension on a house were just some of the spurious claims approved by this ridiculous slush fund. As of its inception, 6.44 billion has been spent on JP requests, with 1.6 billion being spent in 2024 alone.
Corruption among the Indian bands is nothing new. Recently, allegations were made in court by lawyers representing "7475323 Manitoba Ltd". The allegations describe how the Southern Chiefs' Organization Grand Chief Jerry Daniels abused his authority to try to get out of making mortgage payments on a condo he owns in Winnipeg. Specifically, he threatened to quash a $20-million land deal between the Southern Chief's Economic Development Corporation and the numbered company if they did not desist in seeking mortgage payments they were due for his condo loan.
The Southern Chiefs' Economic Development Corporation, which was founded in 2018, has been dissolved by the Manitoba Companies Office. This action was taken because the corporation apparently failed to file its required annual reports for several years, according to provincial records.
With the federal government spending over 30 billion dollars a year on "Indigenous Priorities" many Canadians are starting to question whether these programs are actually a good idea. Indigenous spending has ballooned massively out of control under the Trudeau government, tripling the amount that was spent under the last year of the Harper regime.
And this might just be the tip of the iceberg. According to the Fraser Institute think tank, the Canadian government might be on the hook for hundreds of billions in contingent liabilities relating to indigenous claims.
It looks like the milking of the Canadian taxpayer has only just begun.
