[Danielle Smith @ABDanielleSmith]

Less than 2 weeks ago @MarkJCarney told me in person that C-69 was a barrier to large national energy projects and needed to be dealt with. Now he says he has no intention to do anything with it.

Make no mistake. If this law stays there will be few if any large scale energy infrastructure projects built in this country and Alberta and Saskatchewan will be cut off from international markets.

This means Canada will become MORE vulnerable to and overly dependent on the United States.

Albertans will not tolerate this and neither will I. Hopefully this election results in a new Prime Minister that can be trusted to get rid of these terrible policies.

[Barbara Bal @BarbaraBalCPC]

Mark Carney just announced he will keep Trudeau’s “No New Pipelines” bill, making it impossible to develop the energy projects Canada needs.
A 4th Liberal term means more dependence on the U.S. and smaller paycheques for Canadians.
Let’s put Canada First—for a change!

[Marc Nixon @MarcNixon24]

PIPELINE BOMBSHELL 🚨

Brookfield — where Mark Carney holds deep ties — is set to acquire Colonial Pipeline, the largest fuel pipeline in the U.S.

You really think Carney will ever approve new pipelines in Canada now?
Of course not. He’s not here to compete with the U.S. — he’s here to protect American interests.

Why do you think Donald Trump endorsed Mark Carney.

This is exactly why Canada’s energy sector has been handcuffed for a decade. Wake up

BREAKING

Mark Carney says his Liberal MP advertising a Chinese Communist Party bounty on the head of @joetay1212 is "a teachable moment".

The teachable moment for Canadians is that Mark Carney will ignore foreign interference if his party benefits.

[Dan Knight @DanKnightMMA]

This is no longer just a political scandal—this is a national disgrace. Joe Tay, the Conservative candidate targeted by Paul Chiang’s shocking comments, has now broken his silence—and it’s nothing short of damning.

In his official statement, Tay pulls no punches. He calls Chiang’s words what they are: “threatening public comments... intended to intimidate me.” Not debate. Not disagreement. Intimidation. And Tay makes it crystal clear: “no apology is sufficient.” Why? Because this isn’t some offhand gaffe—this is the exact playbook of the Chinese Communist Party, imported straight into Canadian politics.

Let that sink in. A Canadian MP, standing on Canadian soil, echoed a bounty issued by a hostile foreign regime. And the man targeted—Joe Tay—says it plainly: “Suggesting that people collect a bounty from the Chinese Communist Party to deliver a political opponent to the Chinese Consulate is disgusting and must never be condoned.”

Disgusting—and yet, here we are. Paul Chiang is still in the Liberal fold. Mark Carney, the man who wants to run the country, says nothing. Meanwhile, Tay is left fearing for his safety—already in touch with the RCMP before the public even knew what Chiang had said.

This is the state of Canadian politics under the Liberal machine: where the only people paying a price are the ones speaking out. Where the candidate who exposes foreign interference is the one who needs police protection. And the one who parrots CCP propaganda? He gets to keep his seat.

Even Michael Chong—a guy who knows firsthand what CCP intimidation looks like—is stepping in and asking the obvious question: Why is Paul Chiang still a Liberal candidate?

Chong just posted on X (formerly Twitter) that at least three Canadians have already been coerced into returning to the People’s Republic of China against their will. Against their will. Think about that. Beijing is actively running transnational repression ops on Canadian soil—and now, one of Carney’s own candidates is joking about turning a political opponent over to the CCP for a cash reward. And we’re supposed to believe the Liberals take foreign interference seriously?

Chong’s post includes actual evidence—parliamentary testimony, U.S. indictments, and RCMP-relevant keywords like “United Front,” “overseas station,” and “minutes or less.” In other words, this isn’t conspiracy talk. This is real. It’s happening. And it’s been happening under the Liberals' watch.

And still, Paul Chiang stays in the race. No suspension. No investigation. Nothing from Carney, the security-cleared savior of the Liberal establishment.

And here’s where the hypocrisy hits terminal velocity.

Remember, Mark Carney has a security clearance. That’s been his whole pitch. That somehow he is more qualified to lead Canada because he has access to classified intelligence. Because he is in the know. He’s the grown-up in the room. The steady technocrat with one foot in the Privy Council and the other in Davos.

Well, here’s a question: What good is a security clearance if your own MPs are acting like a propaganda arm for Beijing?

Because while Mark “Bank of China” Carney sits on his classified briefings, his Liberal MP Paul Chiang is out there, on camera, floating the idea that a Conservative candidate should be delivered to a Chinese consulate to “claim the bounty” placed on his head by the Chinese Communist Party.

Let’s repeat that: A Canadian MP is echoing a CCP-issued bounty, and Carney—the man with all the intelligence, all the briefings, all the supposed national security credentials—says nothing. Not a peep. Not even a token tweet.

So what exactly is that security clearance buying us, Mark? If you’re such an expert on foreign threats, why can’t you recognize one when it’s sitting in your own caucus?

It’s a joke. The entire premise of Carney’s leadership bid is unraveling in real time. He promised Canadians he could stand up to foreign interference—meanwhile, his own candidate in Markham–Unionville is out there sounding like a CCP press secretary. And instead of showing leadership, Carney hides behind talking points, closed-door fundraisers, and his carefully curated media handlers.

Joe Tay is right. This isn’t just about intimidation—it’s about sending a “chilling signal to the entire community.” And the message from Carney is loud and clear: if you’re a threat to the Liberal regime, they’re not just coming for your policies. They’re coming for you.

Security clearance? Please. It’s not leadership if you only speak up when it’s politically convenient. And if Carney won’t condemn this, then he’s not qualified to lead a PTA meeting, let alone a country.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is promising to scrap capital gains taxes if proceeds from an asset sale are reinvested in Canada https://t.co/2zv9Ofvlcd

[Brattani @Bratt_world]

This new Pierre Poilievre Ad is amazing !!

Poilievre has been saving all the good stuff for the end, because the liberals will just steal his plans.

THIS is a plan !!!

[Brian Lilley @brianlilley]

Yesterday, Mark Carney’s campaign blocked local Nepean media from covering his campaign office launch in his riding of…..Nepean.
Today he’s closing both campaign events to media.

[The Pleb 🇨🇦 @truckdriverpleb]

Pierre Poilievre just announced that he will CANCEL your capital gains taxes if you re-invest in Canadian companies

He also promised to cut Canadians income taxes by 15%

The great Canadian comeback and golden age is on the horizon

Do you support these policies?

[Jamil Jivani @jamiljivani]

Why isn't every journalist in Canada talking about this right now?

One of Carney's Liberals called for a Conservative candidate to be turned over to Beijing in return for a Chinese Communist Party bounty.

Seems like a big deal, no?

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

Mark Carney stays silent while his Liberal MP and candidate encourages people to turn over a Canadian citizen to a foreign dictatorship for a bounty.

If he cowers on this, when would Carney ever protect Canadians against foreign threats?

We need a prime minister who will put Canada First, For a Change.

[The Food Professor @FoodProfessor]

Academic here.

At first, I dismissed the plagiarism accusation against @MarkJCarney as Conservatives just digging up dirt — I didn’t see the point of it after 30 years. But I’m a little more concerned about it today. Here’s why.

First of all, plagiarism is a serious issue in academia, and unfortunately, it’s sometimes normalized. When I was at the @uofg, I was responsible for academic misconduct cases for about two years. During that time, the number of cases rose from about 10 a year to around 140 — not because students suddenly became less honest, but because we, as a College, simply decided to start clamping down. It is similar elsewhere, not just at Guelph.

What I learned is that most people who commit academic misconduct are typically repeat offenders.

I’ve also managed a PhD program myself and have supervised many doctoral students at several universities over the last 25 years. With that background, I can say with some confidence that when a thesis falls short — especially at the doctoral level — responsibility doesn’t lie solely with the student. Supervisors, examiners, and the program itself are all accountable. In Carney’s case, I did look at the thesis. Yes, it fits the definition of plagiarism — but it reads more like sloppy work than deliberate cheating. Still, the fact that it passed reflects poorly on the program. That’s likely why his supervisor is now defending the thesis — because she shares responsibility.

What really got me thinking, though, is the reaction to the accusation. Why is the Liberal Party flooding social media with “community notes” defending him? Carney has an impeccable CV and could have simply dismissed the accusation, as I did initially. But now I’m wondering — is this part of a pattern?

We’ve seen behavior like this before: the appropriation of Conservative platforms, the use of their campaign slogans, even claiming financial crisis management credit from Jim Flaherty. And let’s not forget that other Liberals — including former PM Trudeau and Mélanie Joly — have faced plagiarism accusations as well. There were few consequences then, but the pattern is troubling.

And now, this story is on the front page of the largest daily newspaper in the UK. It’s not a good look.

In essence, Carney’s thesis is sloppy and does merit a response — primarily from @UniofOxford, but also from Carney himself. He may need to explain, if only to reassure the public. After all, he is our Prime Minister.
