No-show Carney in the House. Coyne "And when the most powerful person in the country feels it's beneath them to show up, it sends really bad signals, and it weakens one of the last lines of accountability we've got."
Again, they could have said something earlier... but chose not to do so
The At Issue panel is having buyers remorse. Arrogant Carney Liberals rammed through legislation and they agree Carney's authoritarian streak is real
Raj "What happened this week is that the Liberals decided to use their majority to shut down debate and pass legislation that is very controversial"
"(Steven MacKinnon) talked about tinfoil hat people. This is not a way to bring people along. f anything, it fuels conspiracies. So there was no reason to pass these bills."
Hebert "I agree that it's unprecedented to find a government using its newly found majority not obtained at the polls to speed up or force feed nine bills to the House of Commons."
Coyne "One is it's playing to a certain stereotype, if you will, of Liberals... the besetting sin of Liberals is arrogance." @RosieBarton@althiaraj@acoyne@ChantalHbert
Fife on Carney being a Commons no-show "Well, I think it's a serious issue."
"But the fact of the matter, when he's in Canada, he rarely shows up at the House of Commons."
"And that's a real to me as a really serious concern."
"You have a responsibility, the Prime Minister, to show up and take questions."
So where is column, article or Globe editorial, Bob? @RobertFife
TIME FOR ACCOUNTABILITY
Conservatives would DEFUND the bloated, unaccountable & irresponsible taxpayer-funded organization Canada Health Infoway.
After blowing $300 MILLION on the PrescribeIT scandal, it's clear that INFOWAY has LOST ITS WAY and thinks it can get away with laundering YOUR tax dollars into executives' bank accounts.
PrescribeIT processed less than 5% of prescriptions at its peak before being shut down.
Meanwhile, Infoway leadership earned nearly $900,000 annually with $200,000 in performance bonuses.
Another $23M went to consultants and $400,000 to executive travel.
BREAKING
Conservatives vow to end federal funding to Canada Health Infoway, an unaccountable not-for-profit with high costs and growing bureaucracy, especially on the defunct $300M PrescribeIT program.
Why am I not surprised these flip flop crossers including Chris Cross from NS are now Liberal trained seals. Self serving people putting their own interests ahead of those who elected them.
What is wrong with these people?
When given access to a clean washroom they empty all of the soap machines and put it down the drains.
Perhaps they could have tried using some?
DEFUND CANADA HEALTH INFOWAY.
Under Liberal mismanagement, Infoway has become an unaccountable boondoggle that spends millions on executives, conferences and failed programs like the $300M PrescribeIT scandal.
The only people benefiting are lobbyists, consultants, and insiders.
Today is a dark day in Canadian history.
The House has passed Bill C-9—an assault on religious freedom that removes longstanding protections for Canadians expressing sincerely held beliefs.
Conservatives fought this bill every step of the way—and we will keep fighting until religious freedom is restored.
Canada… are you okay?
A journalist just asked an MP—with a straight face—what he’d say to mentally ill people who were hoping the government would kill them next year.
Let that sink in.
For every problem, there’s a politician with a “solution.”
To boost homeownership, Presidents Clinton and Bush had the government subsidize mortgages.
The result? The Great Recession.
Politicians continue to make the same mistakes:
The Liberals and Bloc Québécois voted down my motion to withdraw the divisive and toxic Bill C-9 to stand up for freedom of expression and freedom of religion.
I’m grateful for the support from my Green and NDP colleagues. The opposition to this bill has come from the political left and right, from civil liberties groups and a range of faith organizations.
With the adoption of the Senate’s amendment criminalizing the noose as a hate symbol, Bill C-9 will soon receive royal assent and become law.
A generation of Canadians are knocking on the door, asking to be let into the Canadian dream, and the Liberal Regime in Ottawa is shutting the door in their faces.
