In a hot-mic moment on Parliament Hill, Mark Carney was caught telling Croatian Prime Minister Andrej PlenkoviÄ that MPs are "just useful for votes."

This government must stop the whitewashing of our history.
It must be taken in era context and learned from.
Cancel culture is their way of destroying our identity & culture ! https://t.co/StdHzcRyR0
4 years after the Freedom Convoy CTV is still pushing misinformation & fake news regarding it.
Here they put on âpolitical scientistâ Stephanie Carvin who claims that it was not only foreign funded, had Russian influence, but the biggest problem were the Canadians who protested against the Government. They were home grown far right extremists.
You canât hate the media enough.
Conservative MP Rhonda Kirkland
warned last night that Liberals used their âmanufactured majorityâ to shut down debate and ram Bill C-22 (the Lawful Access Act) through Parliament. Now CBCâs At Issue panel is saying the same thing:
Weâve never seen anything like this⊠ever.
Bill C-22 actually does (post-amendments): Forces telecoms & digital service providers to retain certain metadata (who you contact, when, location data) for up to 6 months
Requires companies to build/maintain technical capabilities so police & CSIS can access data more easily
Expands information sharing with foreign governments
Major companies raising alarms:
Signal â Would rather exit Canada than compromise end-to-end encryption or user privacy
Apple & Google â Warned of serious cybersecurity risks and potential weakening of encryption through compelled system changes
VPN providers & privacy groups â Fear forced âsurveillance infrastructureâ and companies pulling out of Canada
Key facts & stats: Canadian businesses spent $1.2 billion on cyber incident recovery in 2023 (Statistics Canada)
The tech sector employs ~2.2 million Canadians
Courts in Europe have struck down bulk metadata retention without individualized suspicion as disproportionate
Recent polling shows most Canadians strongly value encryption and want real limits on expanded government surveillance powers
Government position:
Modern tools are needed to fight serious crime in the digital age, with new safeguards added in committee. Critics (including EFF, Citizen Lab, and now even parts of the media) say the rushed process and broad powers still pose major privacy and security risks. This isnât just about one bill â itâs about how Parliament is functioning. What do you think? Legitimate public safety update or dangerous overreach? #BillC22 #canada #lawfulaccess #LiberalDemocrats #freedom #america @TPCan_Official
Must be nice to be a friend of the Carney Liberals.
While Canadians are struggling to pay for food and fuel, the Liberals give a blank travel cheque to this bureaucrat on the taxpayersâ dime.
Canadians deserve better.
