CBC at it again: textbook Liberal echo chamber Today's interview with Brian Clow post Trump latest tariffs— former Trudeau deputy chief of staff, now conveniently positioned as “independent analyst” — was a masterclass in soft journalism. Host and guest spent the segment gently agreeing that Trump’s latest tariff escalation...

Carney’s own words, side by side. “My government will keep our tariffs on until the Americans show us respect.” Then: Canada removes its tariffs first. “We can handle him.” Then: caves on the digital services tax. “We have the best deal… and we will get an even better one.” Then the Gordie Howe Bridge: Canada pays the costs and debt first. Only after that is the leftover revenue split with the Americans for 15 years. When pressed, Carney’s defence was that he could have explained it better… while wearing a cowboy hat at Stampede. Tough talk for the cameras. Concessions in the actual deals. And a Prime Minister who treats “who cares?” as a governing philosophy. This is not strength. This is managed decline with better lighting. #MarkCarney #cdnpoli #GordieHoweBridge

CBC is once again treating Canadians like markable fools They spent months cheerleading Carney into office, selling him as the sophisticated deal-maker who would stare down Trump and protect Canadian workers. Now, with the August 19 deadline three days away and no comprehensive deal in sight, the same network is carefully laying the groundwork for failure Listen to the tone in their own reporting: sources say Canadian negotiators are “quite a bit concerned” that no deal will be reached. The U.S. won’t move far enough on steel, aluminum, autos, or softwood lumber. Provinces won’t put American booze back on shelves without relief. It’s all framed as a complicated “chicken and egg” situation—never as the predictable result of electing a man who overpromised and under-delivered Same CBC that shamed ordinary Canadians for not “shopping Canadian” hard enough is suddenly quiet about Carney’s vacation in Italy while the trade crisis heats up. The network that amplified every Carney talking point during the campaign is now preparing the soft landing: “still time for the situation to change,” “negotiators still very much working towards a deal,” and the obligatory dark warning that retaliation would “escalate” things because Washington “would not tolerate that” This is not journalism. This is narrative management. Build him up, hide the inconvenient optics, then lower expectations so when the tariffs hit $28 billion in Canadian goods the public is already conditioned to accept it as unavoidable complexity rather than a political failure Canadians are not children. CBC needs to stop treating us like we are Brodie Fenlon

CBC reporter is bothered that US media is uninterested in Trump's tariffs on Canada "And you saw an example of that during this press conference in the Oval Office, where the President fielded, you know, several questions, more than a dozen or so, but there was really only 1, 2 questions about Canada and the tariffs." CBC needs to understand that Canada is not really a priority to the US media Julia Wong

"We are told, according to two industry sources, that Canada is willing to make some changes when it comes to the alcohol bans to meet the American demands to remove to ban American booze on Canadian shelves" "Also willing to meet some demands when it comes to lifting tariffs on the auto sector and making some changes when it comes to the dairy sector." "However, not anything to do with the dismantling of supply management." "And it has been expressed to the Americans that that is sort of viewed as, as a make or break moment. If the Americans go ahead and put those new tariffs on, there will be no political space in Canada to get back to any sort of negotiations. "The Canadians are looking for lower rates, the best rate of any country in the world at this point, because the Americans have said to the Canadians, under no circumstance will there be no tariff when it comes to that." So an "even better deal" highly unlikely Mark Carney

Carney on the Gordie Howe Bridge "We need it because we're expanding, we're still expanding trade." "So look it's a good deal for Canada and what's really good is getting the bridge done on on on on time on budget and to and to build up together." But it wasn't done on budget and that was one of the sticking points Bloomberg "According to a senior government source, Canada will get 50 per cent of the bridge’s toll profits in the first 15 years, with the other 50 per cent going into that economic development fund announced on Friday. But who runs that fund has yet to be determined." Canada was supposed to get the revenue until the bridge was paid off... Carney getting shaken down on a bridge is getting a "good deal"? Would hate to see what his "even better deal" on CUSMA will look like The absolute BS that flies out of his mouth that the media just accepts and repeats...

Must watch. Everything that is wrong with CBC controlling the narrative in a single exchange! Kenney "Is that an objective CBC fact check statement?" Rosie "Yes" Kenney "I guess it reads to the CBC differently, but it reads to me like a Trudeau platform." Rosie "You can read that way, but that is not." At CBC, you can have an opinion, but unless it is CBC approved, it's not the correct one Rosie gives her opinion as fact and moves on... to the other Liberal on the panel Rosemary Barton Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 Brodie Fenlon

CBC just wheeled out Diamond Isinger, Trudeau’s former special adviser on Canada-U.S. relations, to explain why a deal with Trump is “challenging” and why Canada’s hand looks weak and was running her clips twice hourly This is the same orbit that spent years advising Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland while they wrecked the Canadian economy, alienated the White House, and left the country staring down 50% tariffs with almost no leverage. Trump made zero secret of how little respect he had for that crew. Now the Liberals dispatch Dominic LeBlanc and the rest of Team Destruction™ south, and CBC’s idea of expert analysis is to platform one of the architects who helped paint Canada into this corner… so she can downplay the very hand she helped create It gets better. Trudeau practically merged the Liberal Party with the U.S. Democrats. And Mark Carney? He’s kept the tradition alive by installing an actual American Democratic operative—Maia Johnson, Clinton/Bloomberg/Biden-Harris alumni—as the first-ever COO of the PMO, while she also “advises” on Canada-U.S. relations with Trump Brilliant strategy. Keep taking advice from the people who got you here and importing the other side’s operatives and steer Canada towards the iceberg. What could possibly go wrong? Mark Carney

James Moore on CTV yesterday: Canada is in an escalation phase with Trump, not détente — no talks planned, and it will get more aggressive “This is going to get worse. It’s going to get more aggressive… I think we need to prepare for a long, protracted fight with Donald Trump.” Moore argues time is on the US economically but on Carney politically — and that it likely won’t ease before the midterms or the end of Trump’s term Note how the CTV anchor on closing has to pump those Carney tires after any potential opposition comments "And we are hearing that many Canadians, most Canadians, actually the majority, are supporting Mark Carney and his approach right now to the US President's tariffs." James Moore

Rosie Barton is either ignoring Poilievre's words or is deliberately misleading the CBC audience. First she goes along with the Carney story that he was asked to be Finance Minister under Harper "Harper's former director of communications responded to this by saying Carney's not telling the whole story and that Harper in no way supports Carney." Next she says "But we also heard Poilievre doubling down on the need to axe the consumer carbon tax, even though no Liberal leadership candidate supports it going forward." Carney is keeping a Carbon Tax and here is what Poilievre says about it "And after much reflection, I have concluded that the carbon tax will be an even bigger issue in the coming election than we thought." "He said just a few days ago that he doesn't want to "axe the tax."" "Mr. Carney's new and bigger carbon tax will help America take every industrial job from Canada." It's pretty clear that Poilievre is fighting Carney and the CBC!

“Someday this war’s gonna end.” —Apocalypse Now Pollster David Coletto just said the quiet part: much of the Carney government’s goodwill “is driven by” how people judge its handling of the US fight. Canadians who like that file are “almost six times more likely” to like the government overall. As long as all eyes stay on Washington, it lifts Liberal support The vulnerability is obvious. When the trade war ends, affordability, housing, and health care come back into view—the files where the public is “not as convinced” the government has done a good job. Comes the realization that they have been played Carney has been PM for 1 year, 5 months and 17 days and the honeymoon is over. He campaigned of getting a deal, then in the House a better deal: documented. Result: no signed comprehensive deal; talks repeatedly collapsed. Carney's claim of having already “dealt with Trump” in a personal, proven-negotiator sense before 2025: not supported by anything in the public record Regime pollsters, state media, Liberal pundits, and paid spinmeisters all know it. Trump didn’t build most of the wreckage, Liberals did... many of whom continue to stand around Carney. The alibi only works while the war is on It's almost like a deal is the last thing Carney and the Liberals need politically David Coletto

BREAKING: it is now being reported that Doug Ford is responsible for a veto on the trade deal we had with the US. Mark Carney liked the deal and was ready to accept it, but Doug Ford refused to put US alcohol back on the shelves as long as there is tariffs on vehicles. Why? Bloomberg reported that whether there was a 8%, 50%, or 100% tariffs on vehicles, there would be no business case for Stellantis to remain in Canada. Our government never told us any of this. This is exactly why Canadians need to see & understand the deal that was going to be agreed to.

Crisis Carney’s big moment: selling “no deal is better than a bad deal” after Canada really, really wanted a deal Catherine Cullen on CBC just admitted the quiet part out loud: Mark Carney now has to explain to premiers, businesses, and Canadians why the crisis he was elected to handle is getting worse on his watch. Small family shops in BC already talking layoffs. Auto sector sweating. Premiers who were hoping for a deal now staring at tariffs, counter-tariffs, and escalation talk from the US side This was job number one. This was why he was elected. The guy who sold himself as “I’m good in a crisis” gets to prove it by defending the outcome where optimism evaporated at the 11th hour and everyone is left scrambling Rare moment of clarity from the network that spent months elbows-up cheering him into office. Don’t hold your breath waiting for them to dig into GFANZ, Carney's claims of prior Trump dealings, or any of the other awkward questions. The CBC script never goes there No deal better than a bad deal… until the bills start arriving Catherine Cullen Mark Carney

Here is a clip from last night's Poilievre's rally that CBC News isn't showing today because their survival depends on creating the false illusion that Carney can control Trump "Almost every country in the world got a pause on American tariffs, but not us." "Almost every country in the world got a pause on American tariffs, but not us. He said that he had made progress with the President. What progress?" "And no one can control this president." " Carney is running his entire campaign on a false promise that he can control the President through magical, masterful negotiating techniques. Well, we know now that that is not true." "Carney would ask you to overlook an entire decade of rising costs and crime and falling economy that is under the thumb of the Americans simply because he promises that somehow he's a master negotiator." "What we are deciding in this election is can we afford a fourth liberal term of rising costs and crime and a weakened economy?" Pierre Poilievre

No fan of O'Leary but he nails it here on Fox "But let's not forget where Carney came from" "He is a global elitist." "He's a supporter of carbon taxes." "He said he'll remove them from consumers, but he's going to double down on business in Canada, and that decimated you." "Got to remember, Canada actually only grew under the Liberal Party 1.4% in 10 years." "The economy's wiped out." "One of the reasons Canadians can't go to Florida is his party wiped out the value of the dollar down 41%." "Canadians can't afford to go to Disneyland anymore." "So Carney's doing it the very best he can to say, look, I will save you against Trump." "Will Carney win? Who knows?... But he's backtracked like crazy on all the Liberal policies." "He advised Trudeau for the last five years." On Canada US relations "This is a tiff. It's a marriage and they're having a little tiff." "We should have no tariffs on the 49th parallel. It should be an open market, and the best companies win... That would be a behemoth that China could never catch up with."

Kate Harrison says Carney's "going to lose that crutch of the opposition being obstinate with a majority government and the government is going to come under some real scrutiny for the first time in a very long time about what they are delivering, or more appropriately not for Canadians, when they no longer can point to Pierre Poilievre and say that he's the problem because of the minority government."
