Smith during the presser today in Quebec "I think we have to be very clear that the people of my province are very upset with the way we've been treated for the last 10 years" "An example I gave in my speech was, imagine if an Alberta politician had come here and tried to shut down your hydroelectric business and say you couldn't develop your aluminum industry anymore." "That's what Stephen Guilbault did to our province, and that's the reason why people are so frustrated and why they lost hope." "It costs jobs, it cost economic growth. It cost us our ability to generate revenues to pay for the things that we care about." Danielle Smith

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

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!

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

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

CBC gaslighting to the gaslighting. David Common "this murder has been getting a lot of attention around the world" No David it wasn't getting any coverage. It only got coverage because of protests. CBC and the collective mainstream media sat on the story and only because of protests that they reporting at all... but are together blaming on "the far right" Only after the bodycam footage came out did "Prime Minister Keir Starmer says that there are serious questions to be asked about the actions of the police in this case." Watch the UK Policing Minister, Sarah Jones, literally twist herself up in this story trying stifle the "call to action." CBC needs to come clean on this story and this isn't the way David Common 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

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

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
