Aga khan trudeau globe and mail

You're likely referring to the controversy surrounding the Aga Khan's relationship with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Globe and Mail newspaper.

In 2017, it was revealed that the Aga Khan, the spiritual leader of the Ismaili Muslim community, had donated $400,000 to the Liberal Party of Canada, which was led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the time. The donation was made through the Aga Khan's foundation, which supports humanitarian and development projects around the world.

The Globe and Mail newspaper reported on the donation, and it sparked a controversy over the Aga Khan's close relationship with Trudeau and the Liberal Party. Critics argued that the donation was a conflict of interest, as the Aga Khan's foundation had received funding from the Canadian government and had also been involved in various projects with the government.

Trudeau and his government were accused of having a cozy relationship with the Aga Khan, and some critics argued that the donation was a quid pro quo for the government's support of the Aga Khan's foundation. The controversy led to calls for greater transparency and accountability in the government's dealings with the Aga Khan and his foundation.

The Aga Khan and Trudeau have both denied any wrongdoing, and the Prime Minister has said that he did not know about the donation at the time it was made. The Aga Khan has also said that his foundation's donations to the Liberal Party were made in support of the party's humanitarian and development work, rather than in exchange for any favors or benefits.

Despite the controversy, the Aga Khan and Trudeau have continued to maintain a close relationship, and the Aga Khan has been a frequent guest at the Prime Minister's official residence in Ottawa.
