A hot mic incident centered on Rosemary Barton Rosemary Barton occurred during a CBC broadcast on February 18, 2026. She had finished her on air analysis of Matt Jeneroux's Matt Jeneroux floor crossing from the Conservatives to the Liberals. Immediately after the segment concluded, with the microphone still active,... her laugh was captured, followed by the statement, "it's all made up anyway." The remark quickly went viral across social media platforms the following day, drawing widespread attention and interpretation as an off guard comment suggesting that the political analysis she had just delivered was invented or not grounded in fact. Rosemary Barton serves as CBC's chief political correspondent and frequently appears on programs like The National, providing commentary on federal political developments. In this instance, her explanation of Jeneroux's defection included speculative elements about possible motives, which contrasted with his publicly stated reasons. The timing of the hot mic catch, right after her own words, led many viewers to question the credibility of that analysis and similar CBC reporting. No direct response or clarification from Barton or CBC has been issued regarding the audio clip. Matt Jeneroux, the MP for Edmonton Riverbend, had earlier indicated he would not run for reelection and explicitly denied plans to switch parties. On February 18, he announced his move to the Liberal caucus, taking on a role as an unpaid special adviser. He explained the decision as stemming from personal reflections during the holidays and alignment with Prime Minister Mark Carney's approach to national unity and international challenges. The switch represented a significant shift for someone elected multiple times under the Conservative banner, prompting strong reactions from those who saw it as a direct betrayal of the voters who supported him in that affiliation. The combination of Barton's caught remark and Jeneroux's party change has kept the focus on issues of trust in public broadcasting and political accountability. The clip continues to circulate widely, reinforcing existing skepticism toward CBC's role in covering such events.show more

@RosieBarton @jeneroux @CBC @CBCNews The CBC does not stand for truth; it stands for those who fund the network. One party wants the CBC to be profitable, a decent demand for a public funded enterprise. This is interpreted as an attack on the CBC, so politics start in the network. This is the result: made-up stuff.

'I want my vote back': Riverbend residents furious after Matt Jeneroux defects to Liberals It was –20°C and snowing in Edmonton Riverbend, and with the help of more than 22,000 petition signers, Rebel News deployed a billboard truck through the riding to demand accountability from Matt Jeneroux after he crossed the floor to the Liberal Party. Riverbend has voted Conservative in every federal election since the riding was created in 2015. And now, without a by-election, it has a Liberal MP. Back in November, rumours surfaced that the Liberals were pressuring Jeneroux to cross the floor. When the backlash began, he publicly denied it. Soon after, he announced he was resigning, citing family reasons in what looked like a long goodbye. Less than four months later, he resurfaced at an airport press conference alongside Prime Minister Mark Carney — announcing he was joining the Liberals. He cited Carney’s speech in Davos as the moment that changed his mind. That was the explanation. No town hall. No constituency-wide consultation. No vote. Just the ol' Liberal Switcheroo. “I voted for him. I want my vote back.” Residents didn’t hold back. One woman who lives a block away from where we were parked said she had voted for Jeneroux and felt completely betrayed. REPORT by Sheila Gunn Reid:

CBC entertainment reporter "Widdowson's been vocal about her questioning of unmarked graves found at a residential school in Kamloops, BC, and was fired in 2021 from Mount Royal University." On April 16, 2025, CBC chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton stated on air: “Yes, there have been remains of Indigenous children found in various places across the country.” CBC issued a correction the next day, clarifying that communities had identified potential unmarked graves or burial sites via ground-penetrating radar (GPR), but no human remains had been confirmed. Now CBC entertainment staff are blurring lines with journalism to advance political narratives... particularly around residential schools... contributing to a climate where challenging the dominant false story can cost people their jobs, even if they are being truthful CBC and APTN weren't merely satisfied that Widdowson lost her job, they wanted to use the coercive and vindictive powers of the state broadcaster to hold her up for mass ridicule CBC was a big part of creating the false "mass grave" false narrative. It has to keep up the fiction with massive amounts of taxpayer cash to anyone that falls out of line

Unbelievably unaware, out of touch and condescending. Mr Luxon was asked for his take on the recent elections in the UK and Australia that challenged the political equilibrium. Have a listen. Its hard to escape the conclusion that he has absolutely no idea of what's going on in the world. His patronising words on "Trevor" and his keyboard, and his distorted views on immigration are just astonishing. Coming as they are from someone who is both the Prime Minister of New Zealand and the Leader of the National Party. A person holding these positions just cannot be so unaware of reality. Something has to change, or the Nats are heading for an electoral wipe out that will make the ignominious Farrer Liberal party defeat look good.

MEET LABOR’S $930,000 MAN Michael Kaiser was active in Australian Labor Party politics from a young age and was State Secretary of the Queensland branch of the Labor Party from 1993 to 2000. He left his position as State Secretary when he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Queensland in a by-election for the electorate of Woodridge in 2000. Kaiser's career in parliament was brief. He resigned firstly from the Labor Party and secondly as an MP in 2001 after admitting to the Shepherdson Inquiry into electoral fraud that he had been fraudulently enrolled in 1986 as part of a Labor Party branch stacking exercise.[ He was rehabilitated by the Labor Party in 2003 and served as its Assistant National Secretary in the lead up to and during the 2004 federal election. In July 2025 Kaiser was appointed as the Secretary of the federal Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water by Anthony Albanese on a salary package of $930,000 p.a with a 5 year contract. Just another of the "economic opportunities" created by the Net Zero scam.

🚨🚨 PROOF that Tommy Robinson is in jail for LYING, not "telling the truth" This is one of many examples of Tommy defaming the kid in his documentary, "Silenced." A student at the school (a young girl) tells a story about the boy attacking her with a hockey stick in class. Tommy used this "incident" to attack the kid in question, telling his audience that he has a history of attacking young girls. In Tommy's libel lawsuit, he had to back up the legitimacy of this story and his choice to include it in his videos. He made a fool of himself. The girl in the video testified in court, as well as another boy who testified as a witness. In court, the following was revealed: - The girl claims in the video that she has injuries lasting to this day and has been on medication for the pain ever since. NO medical evidence could be provided to back this up. No doctors' records, no prescription for the medications she claimed to be on, no X ray records (which she claimed to have had). The only record from her doctor during this time says she had "no medical issues." - 30 students were present in this PE class, and a teacher. There were 0 other witnesses of the attack. The girl claimed that no one came to her assistance who could be called as a witness. - There was no report of this incident made by the teacher. There was an example provided of when the girl suffered an injury in class, a report was made, and her mother was contacted. None of this happened for this "attack." - The boy who testified as a witness did not help; he simply contradicted the girl's story. When the lesson took place, how many students were present, among others. This boy also contradicted himself numerous times between his original statement and cross examination, he absolutely could not keep his story straight. - During cross examination, when the boy witness was asked why there were no other witnesses of this "attack," he hilariously said that all of the other 30 students happened to be looking in the opposite direction when the incident happened. - The girl claimed that she developed anxiety issues as a direct result of this incident. When her records from her own doctor and school nurse records show clearly that her anxiety predates the incident. - The girl saw an emotional health worker in the school. Not once did she mention this "attack" to this worker. - The girl claims to have told her mother. Yet, the mother never reported the incident to the school at the time, nor did she report this supposed violent attack to the police. The mother chose not to testify as a witness. Based on all of the above, the judge understandably determined, "For the reasons I have given, the Defendant has failed to prove that the Hockey Stick Incident happened. On the evidence, I am satisfied it did not happen, whether as alleged by Charly Matthews or at all." It is important to note that this libel ruling was in response to two Facebook videos posted by Tommy attacking the kid. He then doubled down showing this ridiculous hockey stick story again in Silenced, repeating his claims. This is one of many examples of Tommy clearly lying and defaming the young boy in his documentary. Tommy Robinson is BLATANTLY SCAMMING the public with his fundraising on the back of the idea that he is in prison for "telling the truth." There seems to be a major PR push right now for Tommy to fundraise on the back of this lie. So, I will post more breakdowns like this over the coming days. Tommy Robinson is in jail for lying and defamation and refusing to stop. It is black and white, obvious, clear as day. Regardless of whether you agree with or disagree with his politics.

Lady publicly cries out for help over her brother who has been missing for the past three weeks in Enugu, alleging that despite reaching out to the company he worked for, she has received no tangible feedback. According to her, her brother worked as a security guard with St. Christopher Security Agency in Enugu and had been missing since the 7th of this month. She said she traveled from Abuja to Enugu to meet the company, where she was told that they had reported the case to the police two days after he went missing, on the 9th. She explained that the police requested his photograph, which she immediately sent to the company. However, when she personally visited the police station to make a report, officers allegedly told her that the company never returned with the picture they requested and had not been actively following up on the case. She also claimed that after the police made an arrest, the statement from the person arrested was completely different from the information she was initially given.

We've just been passed the BBC's response to a complaint after Good Morning Scotland concealed an academic's links to Labour during an interview about the winter fuel payment and a warning from Age Scotland. We've reproduced the complaint and response below. We've also included the full interview. There's something untoward at play here. The complaint: Good Morning Scotland conducted an interview with professor June Andrews. The interview centred around the cut to the winter fuel payment and had been prompted by criticism by Age Scotland of the UK Labour Govt's decision to cut the benefit. The charity had claimed that cutting the benefit would see more old people admitted to hospital with hypothermia. The interview was conducted by Laura Maxwell who introduced the academic as follows "Well Professor June Andrews is an expert in the care of older people." The academic challenged Age Scotland's claims and backed Labour's decision to cut the benefit. Professor Andrews views were later used on the programme to challenge Scottish Govt minister Ivan McKee. The academic was presented as someone with no political allegiances or viewpoints. This was far from the truth. Professor June Andrews is a Labour supporter and party activist who makes no attempt to hide her political allegiance. A quick glance at her social media profile - publicly available at the time of the interview - makes this clear, with post after post promoting tweets from senior Labour party figures. The academic tweeted an image during the recent general election campaign showing her with other Labour party activists as they campaigned for Labour candidate Gregor Poynton. Section 4.3.12 of the BBC Guidelines states 'We should not automatically assume that contributors from other organisations (such as academics, journalists, researchers and representatives of charities and think-tanks) are unbiased. Appropriate information about their affiliations, funding and particular viewpoints should be made available to the audience, when relevant to the context.' Professor June Andrews was far from unbiased. Good Morning Scotland should have told listeners that the academic was a Labour party activist and supporter. In failing to do so the programme breached Section 4.3.12 of the BBC Guidelines. A public apology is merited. The response: We note your comments regarding Good Morning Scotland on 28 October and the interview with Prof June Andrews. As you mention, Prof Andrews was introduced as an “an expert in the care of older people” and was being interviewed for her view in this capacity, following Age Scotland’s claim that the cutting of the universal winter fuel benefit for pensioners will see more old people admitted to hospital with hypothermia. Prof Andrews, given her area of expertise, has been a contributor on a number of occasions to items regarding the care of older people and was again introduced in this context, with a range of views on the subject heard within the wider programme – this included hearing directly from Scottish Government minister Ivan McKee, as you say. While we wouldn’t agree with a suggestion that simply holding any political views was a requisite for such an introduction, given the capacity in which Prof Andrews was invited onto the programme to speak, we would suggest that the conveyance to listeners of any political views that a contributor may hold is not limited to how a guest is introduced; for example, there is the opportunity within the line of questioning and by any political points being scrutinised and challenged – accepting that, in a live interview, in keeping the interview and programme on track, it isn’t always possible to challenge a guest on every point they’ve made and that it may be a subsequent interview or similar piece of our output that provides for other views and points to be put across. We note your call for a public apology but don’t believe it is merited here. We would, however, remind our teams of the merit of identifying and challenging, there and then, political points made during interviews. Thank you again for getting in touch.

Katie Telford, Katie Telford as Chief of Staff to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has been a central figure in a series of controversies that paint a troubling picture of governance under her watch. Her role in several high-profile controversies reveals significant issues of incompetence, lack of transparency, and questionable ethics within the Trudeau administration. One of the most glaring issues involving Telford is the WE Charity scandal. This scandal centers on the Canadian government awarding a $912 million student grant program to WE Charity, an organization with close ties to the Trudeau family. While Telford was not the central figure in this scandal, her position within the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) during this period made her complicit in the fallout. Both Telford and Trudeau faced intense scrutiny for failing to recuse themselves from the decision-making process, despite these connections. The scandal raised serious questions about conflicts of interest and the overall decision-making process within the PMO, revealing a troubling lack of ethical governance and transparency. Additionally, Telford's role came under scrutiny during allegations of foreign election interference, particularly concerning attempts by the Chinese government to influence Canadian elections. Her responsibilities included managing sensitive political information related to these allegations. The Liberal government’s handling of these serious issues, under her watch, has been criticized for a lack of decisive action and transparency. This failure to address the allegations adequately highlights broader concerns about the integrity of the political process and the administration's commitment to safeguarding democratic principles. The controversy surrounding moving expenses further complicates Telford’s record. She, along with her colleague Gerald Butts, was required to repay moving expenses deemed "unreasonable" by the government. While this may seem like an administrative issue, it contributes to a broader narrative of potential misuse of public funds by high-ranking officials. Such incidents, though perhaps not directly involving personal misconduct, reflect poorly on the fiscal responsibility and ethical standards within the PMO, adding to the accumulation of criticisms against Telford. Telford’s tenure as Trudeau’s Chief of Staff has also been marked by general political criticism. Opposition parties and critics frequently target her influence and decisions within the PMO. These criticisms, while sometimes broad or speculative, suggest a pattern of political maneuvering and possibly unethical behavior. Her long tenure in this position has made her a focal point for criticism regarding the broader issues of political dysfunction and the erosion of public trust in the administration. Social media platforms and public discourse often blur the lines between fact and speculation, and while they may contain mixed information about Telford’s involvement in political decisions or her personal life, the persistent themes of lack of transparency and ethical concerns are significant. Public figures in high-stakes roles are often subject to intense scrutiny, and Telford’s involvement in these controversies reflects broader problems within the Trudeau administration. In conclusion, while there may not be direct personal scandals involving Katie Telford, her role in significant political controversies and administrative missteps paints a picture of a troubled administration characterized by mismanagement and ethical lapses. The accumulation of controversies associated with her role reveals systemic issues within the Trudeau government, contributing to an environment of diminished trust and accountability in Canadian politics.

The Ondo king who married an ‘Orisha’ as Queen and what happened next… Queen Oronsen, wife of Olowo Rerengejen, the 8th Olowo of Owo is an ‘orisha’ (one of the gods in Yoruba mythology). She is reported to have ordered that the Igogo Festival should be held in her honour. The Igogo festival is an annual Yoruba festival celebrated every year in September in Owo, Nigeria. During this time, the incumbent Olowo of Owo and chiefs dress like women, with coral beads, beaded gowns and plaited hair. According to tradition, 600 years ago, King Rerengejen, while on a hunting party, met a young maiden named Oronsen. He fell deeply in love with her and took her to his palace and made her one of his wives. On their wedding night, Oronsen told her husband that she was not what he made her out to be; she was an ‘orisha’. Her husband became frightened because it was a taboo to consult the gods, as it was a sure indication that the gods had already passed judgment on a particular situation, which usually meant death for those involved. However, Oronsen reassured her husband that she was not out to harm him. She told him that she would be very happy to stay in the world of the living as one of his wives on condition that he respected three things sacred to her. Rerengejen readily agreed to the conditions and warned his other wives not to do anything that would upset their queen. Thereafter, the king and his divine wife lived happily ever after, with Oronsen showering his palace with riches. One day, while the king was away hunting, Oronsen had a bitter disagreement with the other queens and in the process, they broke all the things sacred to her. Greatly upset, Oronsen left the palace and all the chiefs and guards that set out to find her failed. When the king returned from his hunting party, he was told what had happened and went to look for his wife personally. He found her after four days and four nights and begged her to return with him, but she refused to do so, telling him that she had lost all faith in those around her and asked that a remembrance ceremony be held in her honour so that she would continue to bless Owo. The disappointed king agreed and on his return from the forest, told the chiefs to set up such a ceremony. The Igogo festival has since then been an annual event held in September and on the day of the festival, it is forbidden to wear caps or headgears. Also, beating of drums and firing of guns is prohibited.

Floyd Shivambu removed as MK Party Secretary-General after controversial Malawi trip The Umkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party has removed Floyd Shivambu as its secretary-general following an unauthorized trip to Malawi, where he met with controversial pastor Shepherd Bushiri during the Easter weekend in April 2025.

The decision has sparked debate within political circles, with some questioning the MK Party’s internal dynamics and others speculating on the implications for Shivambu’s political career.
