Jews receive 15m "grant" in Ontario by corrupt politicians:

Throughout Ontario's highly publicized slush fund scandal last year, Premier Dalton McGuinty insisted there was no political motivation behind his government's decision to throw millions in cash at multicultural groups.
And when the province's auditor criticized the government for failing to ensure the $32.5 million in grants were handed out in an "open, transparent or accountable" manner -- but failed to find they had been politically directed -- McGuinty claimed vindication. However, a letter obtained by the Sun suggests McGuinty and his cabinet colleagues did play a role in helping a local Jewish fundraising organization receive a $15-million grant from the province.
The March 30, 2007, letter from prominent Toronto businessman and Liberal party fundraiser Larry Tanenbaum, found in a Freedom of Information request by a York University professor, thanks McGuinty for his "support and commitment to the Tomorrow campaign."
'YOUR GENEROSITY'
"What started as a dream to renovate the Downtown Jewish Community Centre, build a community campus in York Region and redesign our main North York campus will now become a reality in no small part because of your generosity and vision," Tanenbaum told the premier. "This support would not be possible without the assistance of yourself and Cabinet Colleagues," he said in reference to the $15-million grant.
"Ministers (Mike) Colle, (Monte) Kwinter, (David) Caplan and (Greg) Sorbara have all been strong and vocal supporters of this project," he said.
The letter was obtained through Access to Information by York University professor David Noble, an outspoken and somewhat controversial history prof who has had issues with Tanenbaum in the past.
"As far as I am concerned this letter seems like a smoking gun," Noble told the Sun yesterday.
The letter, he suggests, puts the premier, for the first time, in the middle of the slush fund decision-making process.
"All I want to see happen is a public inquiry to see if this was done properly," Noble said.
Karman Wong, McGuinty's press secretary, last night denied the premier was involved in the grant decision-making process.
"The auditor general looked into this matter thoroughly and rejected claims made by the Opposition," Wong said.
"Following the recommendations from the auditor general, we improved the process for organizations that wanted to apply for this type of funding," Wong said.
"Any organization that received funding will continue to be accountable and report back to our government on their progress." Wong also defended the government's decision to approve the grant. "The funding provided to the UJA Federation will be used to build or renovate community centres in three different neighbourhoods in the Greater Toronto Area," Wong said.
"These centres are open to all people in the community and will provide immigrant and settlement services. This investment is about supporting diversity in our communities and helping newcomers in Ontario."
Tanenbaum, a minority owner of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, is listed as a co-chairman of the Tomorrow Campaign, which received the grant along with Gerald Schwartz. Both men are well-connected to the Liberal party and have raised funds for the party in the past. Noble, 62, said what this shows is a cozy relationship. "The Liberal party connections are obvious," he said.
"Tanenbaum is identified in Canadian Who's Who (2006) as the national revenue chairman of the Liberal Party of Canada."
The letter also "implicates the premier and the most powerful cabinet members" of having personal interest in this specific project, Noble suggested.
"Would others looking for funding have this access?" asked Noble, who has been a thorn in the side of Jewish groups before and has launched a lawsuit against one for defamation for being allegedly labelled anti- semitic.
"I am not anti-semitic," he said. "I am Jewish."
The Sun attempted to contact Tanenbaum and Schwartz about the grant yesterday but neither could be reached.
Noble, a New Yorker who came to York University in 1990 after a 10- year stint at MIT in Cambridge, Mass., also said he doesn't oppose the new community centre project.
"My problem is the process and making sure it's fair to everybody," he said. "This is public money."
But when Tanenbaum's group received funding, there were "no applications, no request for proposals and no bidding" for the funding.
"It's mind-boggling," Noble said. "There was no process, no protocol, no administrators and no bureaucrats involved in it all ... I do think it merits an inquiry."
As usual, the Jews get special deals under the table. Corruption is the way that jews have stayed on top for the last 3,000 years. Will this shit ever end? Will the non-Jews of the world ever take a stand and say enough is enough? Jews have been kicked out of every country they have ever settled in, so, let´s hope the world will one day rise up against these parasites that label themselves "The Light of the World", and flush them down once and for all!
