Former Liberal Party president Stephen Ledrew just laid it out plain.
This Vancouver condo bailout stinks.
A $3 billion taxpayer handout to bail out rich developers — right after the Housing Minister (former Vancouver mayor Gregor Robertson) took $25,000-a-plate fundraisers from the same condo king now getting bailed out.
Then there’s the timing: Brookfield (where Mark Carney used to be chairman) cuts a billion-dollar deal with Vancouver developers just weeks before the bailout drops.
And Carney? The guy who “forgot” he had millions in American oil shares when asked about his assets.
Ledrew says it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck… it’s corruption.
So what do the Liberals do when Conservatives try to call witnesses and investigate?
They use their stolen majority to shut the committee down for the summer. No questions. No answers. Just protect the deal.
If you’re clean, prove it.
But right now this whole thing reeks — and Canadians are the ones left holding the bill.
@LeclairLar@thomasjuneau I feel no animosity for Trump using his leverage. I would expect nothing less.
I feel rage at the Libs for the decade of decline that left us with no leverage and then repeatedly insulted Trump.
@thomasjuneau The lesson here is that leverage matters and poking the bear in the eye repeatedly was a terrible idea.
Hopefully Carney learns from this mistake if he ever gets back to negotiating USMCA.

FILDEBRANDT: I fight for independence not because I dislike Canada. On the contrary, I love Canada. But our Canada is gone.
“It has been replaced by a post-national economic redistribution zone.”
@Dfildebrandt
@midnightriderV2 I hate Trudeau, but the next time I want to hear his name is when the newly elected Conservative Gov't is launching the investigations into his actions as PM.
Until then, stop giving this blithering idiot any attention.
@WayneMathison If someone limits replies I simply mute them.
If they aren't prepared to defend their opinion in this virtual speaker's corner, then I have zero time for them.
@eli_tannis@alanfryermedia Carney has little to no leverage in the bridge deal or with USMCA.
When you have no leverage, eat the shit sandwich this time and then work your ass off to make sure you have it the next time. But that would require the Libs to admit their destructive policies are to blame.
@2incite_insight@keithfsolomon@DonMillsHFX "if things get out of control."
We are discussing possible scenarios.
Even ones that are EXTREMELY unlikely to occur still impact the power relationship because one side can afford to escalate to the worst case scenario if pushed too far.
@adam900300@ShaziGoalie I wanted a neutral opinion so that you wouldn't have an out.
I've been aware of globalist leaders like Carney since before you were born.
@DeanAllisonMP I mute every account that limits replies.
Starve them of oxygen if they aren't willing to be a full participant in the virtual speaker's corner.
