Media Protection Program in real time Walsh "Do you think Canadians blame Mark Carney, or do you think they blame Mr. Trump for that recession?" Poilievre "You mean the fact that we're the only country in the G7 that's in a recession?" Walsh "It seems like Canadians are laying the blame for their economic troubles with Mr. Trump" Poilievre "Maybe you are protecting Mr. Carney from his economic record. But here's the reality. Mr. Trump's policies are affecting all G7 countries, and none of them are in recession." "...So it seems that the other countries, despite Mr. Trump's unfair tariffs, have been able to craft policies to avoid recession." Pierre Poilievre

Warning from Apple to Canada on Bill C-22 "As you know, this may be one of the last times we're permitted to discuss the consequences of this legislation publicly." "That's because of the bill's secrecy provisions which forbid companies like Apple from even discussing the orders we receive with our users or the public." Apple

Globe's Levitz " There are people on that committee, and I'm thinking of one who's a lawyer in Alberta, for example, who have said that the encampments on college campuses were not anti Semitism. The Jewish community feels those were." Marc Miller "I'm not going to parse through the biographies of individual members." Perhaps Miller should lose the smug and do just that!

Melissa Lantsman "Yesterday the Prime Minister delivered a speech on anti Semitism so neutered that an anti Semite would have given it a standing ovation." "And his solution was a council one includes a lawyer that went to court defending illegal encampments, a former minister whose organization lost federal funding for supporting Hamas and Hezbollah and then lobbied the former government to keep it off the terror list." "And it's led now by a minister who wants to ban passages from the Bible and funded these same anti Semites in his own department." Melissa Lantsman

It’s clear that in BC, Kerry-Lynne Findlay isn’t just running against the NDP — she’s also up against the CBC CBC’s coverage of her leadership win was telling. Ian Hanomansing opened with the framing of a “polarizing voice.” On The National, Meera Bains as in their first story, repeated NDP attack lines while adding descriptors like “narrow win,” “right-wing populist,” “alienating,” and “divided caucus,” while repeatedly emphasizing “polarizing.” The segment turned to progressive activist academic Stewart Prest for expert commentary and featured critical remarks from independent Elenore Sturko who had strangely not backed a candidate Notably absent was any mention that, even without a permanent leader, the BC Conservatives had been polling in a statistical dead heat with the NDP This pattern is unfortunately predictable. Rather than balanced reporting, the CBC appears intent on amplifying divisions, narrowing acceptable viewpoints, and providing favourable spin for urban NDP priorities — even as the Eby government’s economic record draws serious criticism Brodie Fenlon

CBC is shocked — shocked — that new CBS owners (the Ellisons) might soften coverage to help get Trump-era regulatory approvals for their massive media mergers Yet the same CBC has thrived on repeated funding boosts from Liberal governments versus almost getting defunded by Conservatives. Add to that how they helped get Carney elected last year... Scott Pelley just got fired for calling out exactly this kind of interference at 60 Minutes: injecting unverified claims, letting politicians pick interview questions, and a collapse of old standards Glass houses, CBC Brodie Fenlon

Stuart Benson (Stuart Benson) trying to spar with Pierre Poilievre like it's his life's mission, and he gets owned Funny how that same fire doesn't seem to ignite when questioning Carney, his cabinet, or the NDP 'Non-partisan journalist' they said. Must be the selective adrenaline Hill Times: where 'holding the opposition to account' has a preferred address Carney gets snarky with women. Poilievre gets combative with the fact deprived

Boom! John Ibbitson "Well, they are an angry people and they have every reason to be angry." "From the time the provinces were founded, when Albertans, Saskatchewan, were not given the natural resources powers that other provinces had, to the latest regulation from Ottawa limiting the development of the oil sands for environmental or other reasons, Albertans have been put upon by a central Canadian elite, looks at them as something of a colony." "And the result of that indifference and condescension from central Canada is this referendum on a referendum. We're responsible for that here in the center." John Ibbitson

Kapelos "But if Mr. Poilievre have delivered that line, there would have been immediate backlash from Liberals who say he is soft on Trump." Raitt "The, the opposition is going to have to try to paint Mr. Carney as flip flopping on an issue. He told you one thing in the election and this is what he's saying to the United States." "...What I'm hearing from Americans, what I'm hearing from business people is that Canada hasn't necessarily sold to the United States what value we bring to the relationship." "And as a result, they're not really going to side with us when we say you're not treating us fairly." Hon. Lisa MacCormack Raitt P.C. Vassy Kapelos

Today on CTV, former Canadian Ambassador Kirsten Hillman spoke openly with Vassy Kapelos about Canada-U.S. relations — highlighting openness in energy and defense ("not zero-sum"), ongoing granular talks on continental defence, and strong support from U.S. business, Republicans, and governors for maintaining the USMCA: "I personally do not believe that the agreement will go away." This is the kind of public engagement Canadians expect from our diplomats in tough times. A thread... 🧵1/5

Both CTV and CBC aired 45 uninterrupted midday minutes of Carney's word salad speech at the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade, followed with softballs from the host and zero hard hitting questions to Carney Then CBC's David Cochrane hands another 8 minutes on PnP to Carney's GVBOT host, Bridgitte Anderson, to repeat his talking points The Carney Media Protection Program: now in full swing, eleventybillionth example Where's the journalism, folks? Or is everything just state broadcaster stenography?

Flashback 16 years: Activist David Eby at the anti-Olympics rally, mic in hand, solemn face: "And why is it that we're holding these games on unceded native lands?" Fast-forward to an hour ago, Premier Eby: "And we're limited in what we can do about the Cowichan decision until the trial court is done with their determinations on the file." Classic. Spend years cheerleading "unceded/stolen land" activism, push policies that weaken private property rights and invite these rulings... then shrug and blame the courts when the chaos hits homeowners in Richmond Create the problem. Blame the courts. Class A blame-shifting narcissist David Eby

ABSOLUTELY MUST WATCH CLIP... Deputy US Trade Representative Rick Switzer on USMCA "They can have a weak economy that is underperforming and not doing well, and Carney can feel superior." "Or they can have an economy that participates with as a partner of the U.S. economy." "And Carney can do what a grownup should do, which is figure out." "...It's my job as a person who's supposed to protect Canadian jobs and Canadian citizens and the Canadian economy to not let my ego and my feelings dictate what's best for my own economy." Q "Do you think this will have implications for the USMCA?" Switzer "Yeah, of course it is..." "Look, was Ambassador Greer in Canada? Did he meet with Carney? No." "...The grownups are in the room talking because there's a grown up in the presidency in leadership there, and I would argue there's not a grown up in Canada in charge there." "You don't go out of your way to antagonize the leader of the country that you are absolutely existentially tied to." "It's just political malpractice." Mark Carney

Howard Anglin "While the separatists don't have answers to most of the key questions about separation, I think there are a lot of people in central Canada and Ottawa that need to step up and give some answers to the questions Alberta has been asking." "The attitude from some in central Canada, the barely concealed contempt and sometimes the open open contempt for the Alberta economy and the way of life in Alberta is something that wouldn't be tolerated with any other province." "At the end of the day, the vast majority of Albertans love Alberta and they love Canada. I'm not sure a lot of people in Ottawa can say the same thing." Howard Anglin

CBC News in Crisis Mode: Distancing Itself from Deceptive "Prank" Show CBC News is scrambling to separate its news division from a controversial satirical prank series funded in part by CBC Entertainment and APTN Former professor Frances Widdowson was lured under false pretenses of a legitimate documentary, only to have children’s shoes dumped on the table in a staged stunt. She was targeted for questioning the residential schools narrative, particularly claims of “unmarked graves” at Kamloops CBC senior entertainment reporter Griffin Yeager claimed “unmarked graves found” at Kamloops — despite CBC’s own Public Editor admitting on April 17, 2025, that no graves or human remains have been confirmed there The production by NLT1 Productions (funded by the Indigenous Screen Office) used deceptive tactics resembling journalism to ambush critics. Other targets included CPC MP Aaron Gunn. CBC conveniently omitted this CBC claims “no involvement” by its news division and calls it “established satire.” Yet public dollars were used to target Canadians for their political views by people falsely representing themselves as CBC documentary producers... a practice many rightly condemn “Many are questioning whether public dollars should be spent for pranks targeting people for their political views.” This deceptive production raises serious ethical and legal concerns (misrepresentation, misuse of public funds). CBC remains exposed to potential legal action. The show should never have been greenlit This report demands a number of corrections Griffin Jaeger Aaron Gunn Frances Widdowson Lindsay Shepherd CEO | PDG
