Endswell Foundation
| The Golden Rule is that whoever holds the wealth or financial power dictates how things are done. So follow the money to find out who is deciding the agenda. There are two primary factors involved, who are they getting funding from and who they are funding. |

The original Endswell was essentially Carol Newell’s family philanthropy. Joel Solomon, who ran the family office and served as Endswell’s executive director, describes it as a $20-million endowment that was deliberately spent down.
Carol Newell / family wealth → Endswell Foundation → environmental and social-justice organizations.
In a nutshell Endswell Foundation is the same people as The American Tides Foundation, aka the MakeWay Foundation.
So who is Joel Solomon?
Let me quote from the National Post
Joel Solomon is the vice chair of Tides Canada, and a director and former chairman of Tides’ American board. And he is a major reason Tides has been pumping money into environmental and social activist groups that have been fighting fish farms in British Columbia, the oilsands in Alberta, logging in the Boreal forest, and dozens of other anti-industrial campaigns. Most any prominent green group you might think of has probably been on Tides’ list of recipients. Tides also provides charitable assistance to The Tyee, its website shows, an NDP-friendly online magazine. Tides has hired government lobbyists. Former officials and affiliates of Tides, meanwhile, have influence at the highest level of Vancouver’s city government, including its eco-chic mayor Gregor Robertson, who has made it his explicit goal to turn Vancouver into the “greenest city in the world.” Some of the biggest donors to his campaign, and that of his Vision Vancouver party, are also connected to Tides.
Who is Gregor Robertson? He is Liberal Member of Parliament, Vancouver Fraserview – South Burnaby, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure, Pacific Economic Development
