WARMINGTON: Kielburgers prove you can't get blood from a stone

Article content

Turns out it’s not just bottom-dwellers asking questions of the co-founders of the We Charity!

Those looking for blood from Marc and Craig Kielburger need to look no further than the fridge of the We Charity’s fancy “volunteer” compound in Kenya.

No need for a private investigator. It’s on the internet.

Vimeo will find you an episode of MTV’s Cribs where Craig Kielburger displays a bottle of what he describes as cow’s blood and then appears to drink it. Just like Robert Pattinson’s famous Edward Cullen vampire character, he literally ends up with blood on his hands and lips. 

It’s full Twilight Zone.

“They pierce the neck of the cow,” explains Kielburger of the Maasai in East Africa as he takes a drink from a jug before pouring some red stuff into a glass. “Aw, it’s great. Do you want to try some at home. Good stuff.”

Hard pass on that Craig. If this is what top the barrel looks like, no thanks.

Don’t tell Pamela Anderson about this!

When questioned by Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre on whether a private investigator was hired to watch Canadaland reporters Jessie Brown and Jaren Kerr, Craig Kielburger was dismissive.

“With due respect, you are reaching to the bottom of the barrel if Jessie Brown is now who you are quoting,” Craig Kielburger said, as reported by the Toronto Sun’s Brian Lilley.

At his own risk, Brown has exposed the many startling revelations which may explain the blood brother’s low ranking of him. The high-end members of the Order of Canada Kielburgers, however, still did not answer the question posed to them.

“I point-blank asked the Kielburgers four times if their law firm hired private investigators to surveil reporters. All four times, they refused to answer,” tweeted Poilievre.

Rather than wait for a private investigator to follow us, photographer Veronica Henri and I went to them at their high-end, luxury We campus on Queen St., at Parliament St.

We had never heard of a detective being put on a reporter before or seen somebody enjoying a glass of blood either. At risk of being demeaned by these superstars, we thought we’d still ask them about this.

The Kielburgers, or anybody inside the massive complex,  have yet to respond to requests. We could see people inside and witnessed boxes of files being taken out of the building and ” a “laptop” computer being delivered.

But no sign of the brothers.  We did notice plenty of security cameras and signs reminding us to smile.

As you will see in our video on Torontosun.com, trying to ask about hiring detectives or plasma beverages was really like trying to getting blood from a stone.
