A Montreal-based security firm with ties to Donald Trump, ICE and the infamous Alligator Alcatraz prison is using Liberal ties in Canada to screw over our veterans. Security firm GardaWorld used well-connected Liberal lobbyists to convince the Carney government to end a long-standing agreement with the Commissionaires. 

Founded in 1925 specifically to provide employment to First World War veterans, the Commissionaires remains the largest employer of veterans in Canada. For years, the not-for-profit organization has had an agreement with the federal government that gives the Commissionaires the first right of refusal for security at federal buildings for government departments.

Earlier this year, Veterans Affairs Minister Jill McKnight informed the organization that they would be extending the practice for one more year until March 31. 2027 and then ending it. 

“This extension will ensure a smooth and measured transition to a competitive procurement process for guard services, which will take effect on April 1, 2027,” Minister McKnight wrote. 

How Liberal........
