GC Strategies Execs Summoned Over $60M ArriveCan App Scandal
GC Strategies’ owners, Kristian Firth and Darren Anthony, are facing another summons to appear before the government operations committee due to the ongoing ArriveCan app controversy.
This decision followed the Conservative party’s successful motion last Wednesday, which was delayed by a day due to extended debates on amendments. The committee chair will determine the dates for Firth and Anthony’s testimony.
The motion also states that should the owners fail to appear, the House of Commons Sergeant at Arms is to take them into custody to ensure their compliance. This measure, however, requires the House’s endorsement to issue a warrant for their arrest, a step not automatically taken.
The summons arise amid renewed scrutiny of the ArriveCan app, especially after auditor general Karen Hogan highlighted the insane cost of nearly $60 million on the app—with the final tally unknown due to missing paper trails. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau acknowledged it was “obvious” rules weren’t followed in the development of the ArriveCan app.
“Common-sense Conservatives are calling GC Strategies and its employees to testify under oath at a parliamentary committee,” said Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre before the vote on Wednesday, according to Global News. “They’re refusing and so we’ve put forward a motion to have them arrested and physically dragged into the room to explain where our quarter-billion dollars went. Where’s the funds?”
The RCMP’s review of Hogan’s report adds another layer of investigation into the ArriveCan app’s development and financial mismanagement. So far, the whole ArriveCan app situation has resulted in a bunch of finger pointing and blaming, regarding hiring practices of contractors and more. While the CRA can come after you for not paying $50 in taxes, it’s puzzling in this situation over $60 million of taxpayer funds suddenly cannot be traced and there’s no consequences.

Libs are doing everything they can to shut this down, delay it and make it disapppear. No question that a full forensic audit of GC will show that of the $250 million the Trudeau gov has paid these friends of the LPC since being elected, a significant portion was directed to Trudeau, LPC and other related entities.
Seem far fetched? They paid Canadian Climate Institute, another “friend of ours”, $30 million for literally nothing. It’s a charity that exists only to lobby the Lib gov on its own policies. So, Trudeau paid these friends to set up a lobby him to push his own LPC policies to himself.
They take every opportunity to run rackets that funnel our money into LPC org. This is beyond “regular” gov corruption.This is mob sht.
This cannot be shocking. It was the Liberal Party that was also responsible for the Sponsorship Scandal that saw millions of taxpayer dollars paid to Québec advertising firms for little to no work being actually done, which then funnelled the majority of that money into Liberal Party coffers.
Remember the greatest scandals under the Harper Conservatives involved an overpriced glass of orange juice and a payment of $90k from a private citizen back to the government as reimbursement for a senator’s disallowed expenses.
True. An exhaustive list of all ways Trudeau and Libs have extracted personal and organizational wealth and benefits for friends and family would be far too long. But, a few more:
– funnelling $500 million dollars through an exceptionally unqualified WE org, which was effectively a LPC campaign arm, which in turn paid huge fees to Trudeau family and made large LPC donations.
– accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in personal gifts for Trudeau family and LPC friends from an active gov lobbyist (Aga khan)
– direct personal intervention from Trudeau into criminal matters involving a large Lib donor and local employer in Trudeau’s province, leading to him terminating the two most competent ministers in his cabinet to shut down discussion.
– massive PRC/PLA direct and indirect donations to Trudeau foundation, money and assistance to Lib candidates, coincidentally following pay-for-access between PRC officials and Trudeau himself.
Seriously dude! Did you also contribute to Trump’s GoFundme page for the $355M Unjust Judgment? You’re warped connection to reality is as unhinged as Trump and Putin’s fan base by spreading disinformation.
If JT wanted to shut down this enquiry, there never would be one. Full stop.

There ARE no consequences.
