Hosted at Toronto’s Eglinton Grand Theatre, the Justice Centre’s June 2019 “George Jonas Freedom Award Dinner” was sponsored by Postmedia and featured the late National Post reporter Christie Blatchford and criminal attorney Marie Henein, who served as Jian Ghomeshi’s lawyer, as keynote speakers.
The Justice Centre, which is quietly funded by some of Canada’s wealthiest people, pledged to conduct a “comprehensive review” of decision-making at the charity.ĭespite that pledge, the Justice Centre now has little to say about why a neo-Nazi was seated next to donors and VIPs at a $200 per plate fundraising dinner. Manitoba Court of Queen’s Bench Chief Justice Glenn Joyal says he was followed by a private investigator last week, which he believes was an attempt to catch him violating the province’s COVID-19 regulations.
In a public statement, the Justice Centre’s board of directors condemned the charity’s executive director, John Carpay, who admitted hiring the private eye. The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, a charity that focuses on litigation and advocacy for social conservative causes, has recently faced intense scrutiny after hiring a private investigator to follow and surveil Manitoba’s Chief Justice in a failed bid to catch the judge violating COVID-19 restrictions.
A notorious neo-Nazi was among the guests at a controversial right-wing charity’s gala fundraising dinner, rubbing elbows with a who’s who of Canadian media personalities, high-powered lawyers and wealthy Toronto philanthropists.
