Interesting thread ….

Now awaiting follow up.

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

[National Post @nationalpost]

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.

[Jasmin Laine @JasminLaine_]

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.”

Another reason I am on @X is @FoodProfessor

The investigative journalism by some people like this is fascinating & disturbing

[The Food Professor @FoodProfessor]

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.

[Dan McTeague @GasPriceWizard]

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

[Gail Robertson-ChiefCuriosityOfficer @GailNow]

Worth a read - and a wake up call.

As a recovering journalist I am puzzled by lack of curiosity.

[Peter Menzies @Pagmenzies]

They really, really trust him (link in comments)

[Gail Robertson-ChiefCuriosityOfficer @GailNow]

@Pagmenzies 😆

I have never heard of that adjective before used in this context.

Unless maybe I saw it in PR news release!!!

[Gail Robertson-ChiefCuriosityOfficer @GailNow]

Ouch!!

[Peter McCaffrey @peteremcc]

What's the difference between a technical recession and a recession?

About $2 billion of taxpayer funding to media outlets.

@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!

[Gail Robertson-ChiefCuriosityOfficer @GailNow]

@mgeist Because so little curiosity & time spent doing research. Sadly, very few tough questions and follow up.

[Gail Robertson-ChiefCuriosityOfficer @GailNow]

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.

[Sam Cooper @scoopercooper]

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.

[FBI Houston @FBIHouston]

#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.

[Juno News @junonewscom]

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.

[Michael Geist @mgeist]

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."
