David Cochrane, professional Libsplainer, never misses a chance Kate Harrison just finished explaining that slapping labour-law changes into a 243-page omnibus bill is a sloppy way to “stabilize” the investment climate when Carney could actually green-light the 12 projects sitting in the major-projects office, kill the industrial carbon tax,... and repeal C-69. Cochrane’s response? Pretend the labour tweaks will magically be enough, then immediately start defending why the public only saw the bill on day one of Parliament Parliamentary privilege is a real rule. It is not a sealed vacuum. Governments that want a story out leak it through anonymous sources before the House ever sits. CBC is a regular willing participant in leak spreading. The Carney Liberals chose not to. Cochrane believes his job is to treat that choice as an immutable law of physics instead of a political decision Same pattern, every available opportunity: the Liberals decline to explain themselves in advance, then David arrives to explain why the lack of explanation is actually very responsible and you should stop noticing Kate Harrisonshow more

If you didn’t watch CBC for us very few would. It’s infuriating hearing about Cochrane’s full blown Liberal bias.

@DavidWCochrane’s shameless partisan Lib’splaining violates the CBC’s JSP principles of impartiality, balance, fairness and integrity. Will their newsroom editor @brodiefenlon do anything about it? Of course not, he’s part of the same Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth’. #cdnpoli

Pretty sure they’ll get slapped by the labour and trades unions. Seems like the blue collar working man always pays for the Feds mistakes. Problem though, liberals decimated the middle class. Blue collar workers struggle to keep up to middle class standard of living as is. This is going backwards. This is socialism at its best.

David Cochrane is as neutral as Switzerland was during WW2. It has been proven that The Swiss aided Germany even more than would be expected if they had been an actual ally. David Cochrane is more worse that that.

Someone needs to push David Cochrane around. Bully him. He’s such a little prick. He’s a liar, he’s scum, he’s that little rat kid you knew in school. He’s randall from recess but 1000x worse and more annoying

Liberals promised in 2015 to kill the omnibus trick. They called it undemocratic when Harper did it. Then the Liberal government buried a prosecution loophole in a budget bill. Then Liberals stuffed borders, cash rules, and law-waivers into “economy” and “security” binders. Now C-39 is 240 pages: one-year reviews in the same stack as the Labour Code. The Liberal House Leader says it is not an omnibus. The unions heard the strike clause. Same method as the big American packages: put the hard part where a single vote has to swallow the whole bag. Carney also built a new chair in the PMO and put an American Democratic operative in it. COO. U.S. stakeholder strategy. Clinton and Bloomberg shops on the résumé. That is not a conspiracy. That is the Liberal org chart. If Liberals wanted the country to see the labour change, it would be its own bill. If Carney wanted the country to see who runs the office, the hire would have been on the site the week it happened. Read the binder. Read the résumé. Kitchen table first. #cdnpoli

Exactly what I said when I saw it!! Then they go in the house and blame everyone for voting against the bill. They don’t want to build anyway and need an excuse not too. They probably didn’t expect the opposition to vote for the bill that allows them to do all this to begin with. Is it C5?

Carney cannot polish the turd any further so he can only resort to throwing glitter on it. He is in the turd business. Turning Canada into an open sewer on all fronts as he takes his insider Royal Flush holdings offshore to his tax haven bolt hole.

Mark Carney says Canada is ready to build while his own Liberals continue to prove the opposite. Another $70 billion UAE investment stalled because the Liberals do not have enough shovel-ready projects. Meanwhile, 500 projects still wait for federal approval. This is not a lack of opportunity. It is a lack of political will. Canada needs taxes and red tape cut and the Liberal anti-development laws and regulations that block projects repealed and reformed, so major projects can move forward with investment from the private sector, for the benefit of all Canadians.

This whole clip is remarkable to see on CBC "Non-political" Carney backer Rob Russo "The danger for the Liberals is that they have a reputation of being soft on China." "The RCMP has said that they operate police stations here. They've said that they've closed up some of them, but there are investigations that are ongoing." Harrison "It's coddling for a government MP to deny forced labour in China is to deny that the sky is blue." "And I think that it is troubling that the Prime Minister can't bring himself to say very clearly, so that is on the record ahead of this trip for the Finance Minister that forced labour exists in China and that this is a major consideration as we undertake trade." "...Right now we are leaving ourselves very exposed and in my view cozying up far too much to a regime that has a lot of human rights abuses" "I also think that as we undertake to bring more Chinese EVs into the Canadian market, it also has to be acknowledged the reason why that is such a cheap alternative is because of course there is forced labour in the supply chain that surrounds EVs." Kate Harrison

Kate Harrison on a pipeline to the BC coast "I think it again comes back to the investment environment that we create here." "...They want the certainty of the investment environment before making such investments." "And when we have arguments playing out like we do right now with a proposal on paper that might not be hypothetical but is certainly not a full one, and you're already seeing politicians react in the negative way to even something that isn't fully thought out." "In the case of Premier Eby in particular, what signal does that send to private capital about the likelihood of doing business here?" "And that's where I think if it is true that Prime Minister Carney wants to move fast and break things and do things differently, he has an opportunity, not necessarily in accepting this proposal, but going back to the root issues of why that private capital is not coming here." Kate Harrison

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!

Harrison: “Does it become an outlet for frustrated Albertans to vent, regardless of the outcome? That delegitimizes the separatist proposition — but that should be separated from the overall frustrations a lot of Albertans have.” “Albertans are going to watch very closely how the prime minister deals with a separatist government in Quebec… many would say Quebec already has some advantages. They’ll be watching tonight and the next few weeks, even before their own ballot.” Cochrane: “They’ve put tens of billions on the table for another pipeline to the coast” Harrison: “It is not just about energy resource infrastructure. But that is one quantifiable, demonstrable response to the concerns spelled out there” Kate Harrison

"I think the rupture that he's talking about looks more like a ripple." "I think that he is right now, talking about new world orders, trying to carve out a new international way of doing things as opposed to doing the job that he was elected to do, which is to get back to the negotiating table and get an agreement with our largest trading partner." "So how did the remarks on Monday tee us up to get back to the table for a discussion on trade when everything was revolved around that ostensible threat to Greenland, which now looks a lot different today than it did when Mark Carney spoke?" Then after sitting through a Cochrane lecture "It was a well crafted speech delivered to an audience that was primed for that message and I give him credit for that." "But there is a difference between speechifying and actually doing things." Kate Harrison

David Cochrane is such a Government shill. Listen to him not just once, but several times try and convince the viewers through loaded questions that the temporary foreign worker program isn’t affecting youth unemployment. This is clearly purposeful. Kate Harrison nails it in her analysis of the situation.

CBC spent years platforming the climate-and-labour orthodoxy that helped elect Mark Carney. CBC cheered the win. CBC cheered the floor-crossings and byelections that delivered the majority. CBC cheered the committee stacking that shut the opposition down. Now the same CBC is discovering, via Janyce McGregor, that the opposition is mathematically irrelevant and the sky is falling on their preferred causes McGregor’s report is the tell. Environment and labour groups are calling C-39 the “bulldoze nature bill.” The Bloc, NDP and Greens together hold less than 10 percent of the House. Liberals have the majority on committee. Conservatives say they would go further, not less. The Canadian Labour Congress is already prepping a constitutional challenge over the right to strike. McGregor notes, almost as an afterthought, that there is no easy path to amend the bill. Majority government reality check This is the same CBC whose editor-in-chief, Brodie Fenlon, has spent years insisting the network does not take sides. Fenlon: “That’s not our role.” Journalists must come to the story “with an empty notebook.” The job is a 360-degree view so Canadians can form their own opinions. Impartiality is the bedrock Fenlon also wrote that the Journalistic Standards and Practices “can and will evolve” after staff complained impartiality rules were distorting coverage of anti-Black racism. CBC climate journalism took sides and remains “a top priority.” CBC “does not itself designate” groups as terrorists. And in promotional videos he tells Canadians they never have to wonder what is real or fake if it comes from CBC News The pattern is not subtle. When the political project aligned with CBC newsroom’s priors, coverage treated process as progress. When the same majority now accelerates project reviews, creates “regions of national interest,” shortens consultations, and tightens federal labour rules so strikes can be ended for economic impact, the tone flips to alarm. The activists who were useful on the way up are suddenly the ones being “gaslit” Canadians can see the sequence. They watched the cheering. They watched the majority assembled. They watched the committees restructured. They are now watching the same CBC act shocked that a majority government is using its majority. And that is not an empty notebook. That is a newsroom that got the outcome it wanted... and is only now discovering the bill of sale Brodie Fenlon
