A little micro story about federal government accountability: in 2022, the then-Trudeau government began publishing a data set on the administrative use of government aircraft, detailing flights made by the RCAF fleet of Challenger jets used by the PM, GG and cabinet. 1/
WATCH: Former NDP leader @ThomasMulcair argues there is no such thing as a "technical recession," saying two consecutive quarters of negative growth is simply a recession and that @PierrePoilievre is right to press the government hard on it
“Several names keep surfacing. Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon, Immigration Minister Lena Diab, and Housing Minister Gregor Robertson are all mentioned regularly.”
If you are on @X …none of this seems surprising!
“Even foreign ambassadors posted in Ottawa are talking about it. When diplomats from other countries are quietly snickering at the weakness of the government’s front bench, we may have a serious problem.” https://t.co/i3YOrwyde3
Advocacy group Canadian Taxpayers Federation found that almost $200,000 was spent feeding Carney and other government officials on just three out-of-country flights in 2025.
The Prime Minister's in-flight menu included fine wine, braised beef and 'luxury' butter https://t.co/tplnV0bfgH
@KirkLubimov In journalism school, I wouldn’t have got my degree unless I had passed a half credit course in shorthand & typing
But… I never had tobtake an economics or stats course.
Every time Mark Carney goes to the UK he mentions how Canada is just like them… so, I’ve booked my trip and I’m ready to go see for myself.
Not looking good so far, as this is on the travel advisory from Canada…
“There is a threat of terrorism in Europe. Terrorists have carried out attacks in several European cities.
In the United Kingdom, previous attacks have resulted in casualties. They have included random violent incidents in public areas, such as knife and vehicle attacks as well as explosions.
These incidents have occurred mainly in the London area but have also happened elsewhere.”
Remember that Chinese-owned infant formula manufacturing plant in Kingston? Canada Royal Milk?
Did Canadian taxpayers help finance a facility that is now exporting products made from quota-protected Canadian milk to China?
Stay tuned.
Our mainstream media refused to accept that killing energy projects & adding “weather “ taxes/regulations would have a devastating effect on our economy.
Yours truly was ostracized by many for having the courage and foresight to posit, resist and warn about the NetZero calamity
@agalbraith@C_Mulroney@FarahNasser Congrats on taking some time this summer for family- and for looking at making some changes. Always good to adjust the sails as they say!
Another reason for being on @X is @scoopercooper
Sadly I see so many things here that never get into mainstream until often too late.
Sam has been doing serious investigative journalism.
The Canadian public has been told this agreement exists. But we have not been told what it actually says — because the RCMP has stated it will not release the document without Beijing’s permission.
That is not how a democracy operates. Canadians do not need a foreign government’s consent to know what their own police force has agreed to.
We call on the Government of Canada to release all details of the RCMP–Ministry of Public Security MOU to Parliament and the Canadian public immediately.
This agreement was not signed in a vacuum. It was signed against a backdrop of sustained, documented, and escalating interference by the People’s Republic of China against Canada and Canadians.

#BREAKING A Canadian man has been sentenced to 33 years in federal prison for targeting over 100 children across the U.S. in one of FBI Houston's largest sextortion cases. For years, Ramanan Pathmanathan, 40, used multiple social media accounts to contact at least 145 girls and boys demanding them to engage in sexually explicit conduct. If they declined, he threatened to send compromising images to the children’s friends or family. This was a years-long investigation by FBI Houston's Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force and @TXDPSsoutheast.

Imagine if you told a room full of journalists just a few years ago that 98% of them would be living on government subsidies and they’d be slagging the 2% that aren’t for pointing out that they are.
A Google exec warned Bill C-22 "goes beyond any regime that I'm familiar with" because it gives government broad secret powers without judicial oversight.
Google says it was not consulted before the bill was tabled.
Apple leaves no doubt about the risk of Bill C-22 :
"as drafted, this bill allows the Government of Canada to force companies to break encryption by inserting backdoors into their products, something Apple will never do."
