BREAKING: Someone in the Prime Minister’s Office told a friendly pollster their plan for 24 Sussex, 7 weeks before the announcement.
The pollster tested it.
Then the pollster results gave the green light.
Carney then announced the donation scheme as if it were a fresh idea based on humility.
The PMO now refuses to tell Canadians who in cabinet ran the play to conduct A/B marketing tests on their plan.
And now, he wants you to build it with your after-tax dollars. All because of a survey result.
Insane.
On Thursday, don't miss our exclusive interview with U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra.
For the first time, he'll share information not previously discussed in the mainstream media, including the Gordie Howe Bridge dispute, supply management, the upcoming CUSMA review, Canada's alcohol trade restrictions, and much more.
🎙️ Premiering July 2!
Today has been crazy.
This has been by far the biggest response we have ever had to an interview. The reaction has been vast so I want to lay out how I approached the conversation as clearly as possible.
Pierre Poilievre is the Leader of the Official Opposition. In that role, he has two primary responsibilities:
1. Scrutinize the government, point out its shortcomings, and hold it accountable.
2. Offer policy alternatives.
That is how I approached the interview.
My questions focused on where Pierre believes the government has fallen short, what he would do differently, and how long he thinks it would take to see results. I also reached out to people I respect like my past law professors, other journalists, and friends for their views on questions they felt had not been asked.
Some people are calling me a Conservative. Others are saying it was a softball interview. They are welcome to those views.
I am not a Conservative.
I also do not conduct interviews like Dawna Friesen or Rosemary Barton. They are welcome to their approach. It is simply not the role I am trying to play.
My goal with Nuanced is to have long-form, good-faith conversations that help people better understand the issues, the people involved, and the choices facing the country.
I just heard on the radio with @bradcsmith that all the C02 Canada has removed over the last 5 years, with taxes and whatnot, China produces in 32 hours. 🇨🇦🇨🇳
Well done, Liberals. You're absolute morons.
This year, the average Canadian family didn't start working for themselves until June 9!
Working for five full months JUST to pay off the tax man is completely unacceptable.
Only Conservatives can cut the wasteful and inflationary deficit spending to bring you REAL tax relief.

It just magically happened.
Eby got briefed to meet the Condo King in February.
The Condo King hosted a fundraiser for Carney that same month.
Four months later they announced a multi-billion dollar condo bailout.
Nobody asked for it, apparently.
"It just magically happened"
Chronology:
Condo developers support Mayor Robertson.
Mayor then runs for parliament & becomes housing minister for PM.
Condo developers raise money for PM.
Condo developers gonna lose millions.
Condo developers bailed out by Carney.

I've sure enraged a lot with this. Mostly always enraged lefties, but even some regular Conservatives I engage with politely disagreed.
But I also found more than I figured who agree. To be clear, I don't have a specific proposal in mind. Just trying to engage in a debate about voting.
I guess if some lefties can propose lowering the voting age to 16, then others can propose counter arguments.
Maybe it's just raising the age (21? 25? 30?), as opposed to income or property. Or maybe it's a test, like citizenship.
All I know is thy everyday I deal with people who don't have any knowledge about what govt does what or that opposition parties aren't "the govt." And the majority of requests are permanent residency or get me my benefits-related.
You wouldn't let someone who can't drive get a license, or can't operate become a surgeon. But the direction of a country?
🛣 Net Zero apparently means YOUR road trip, YOUR pickup truck, and YOUR furnace.
The Prime Minister's jet? 🛫That's just climate leadership at 40,000 feet.
Canadians are expected to shrink their #carbon footprint while #Ottawa keeps expanding its flight plan.
Hypocrisy isn't a climate strategy, but it sure seems that way for #MarkCarney!

Build Canada Homes shouldn’t exist. Full stop. We don’t need another taxpayer-funded housing bureaucracy pretending it can outbuild the private sector. We need governments to get out of the way: cut red tape, fix approvals, reduce costs, and let builders build. More programs won’t solve housing. Removing the barriers just might. That’s where the focus belongs.
Federal bureaucracy grew twice as fast as the population that pays for it.
Feds added 86,000 bureaucrats since 2016 (up 33%). Canada’s population grew 15%.
Taxpayers would save $7 billion if the bureaucracy grew with population.
More bureaucrats. Worse service. Bigger bill.
Over the weekend, I received a letter from the Hon. @PierrePoilievre requesting a meeting be convened of the Access to Information, Privacy, and Ethics Committee. Here is my response to his letter. #cdnpoli
Ce week-end, j’ai reçu une lettre de l'Hon. @PierrePoilievre demandant la convocation d’une réunion du Comité de l’accès à l’information, de la protection des renseignements personnels et de l’éthique. Voici ma réponse à sa lettre. #polcan
"PM Carney never actually promised a CUSMA deal by July 1. What he did promise, months ago, was to reduce tariff uncertainty. Instead, as July 1 arrives, trade uncertainty is set to increase—not decrease. And Canada is far less equipped than the U.S. to absorb prolonged trade uncertainty. That should concern everyone."
BREAKING: I’ve written to the Ethics Committee Chair calling for an urgent investigation into Carney’s condo bailout.
Who lobbied to force people who can’t afford groceries to bail out billionaire Liberal donors and powerbrokers?
We are fighting to stop the Liberal Club from getting richer by making you poorer.
Mark's flying again.
This time, he flew to Toronto for the gay pride parade.
He was so sick of us tracking his flights, he took a different private plane so we wouldn't find him.
Then he posted this image of himself, with the aircraft registration visible.
Not very bright, Mark.
Vous ne devriez pas avoir à payer de taxes sur un véhicule plus d'une seule fois.
Le projet de loi C-285 du député Andrew Lawton supprimera la TPS sur tous les véhicules usagés, ce qui permettra aux Canadiens d'économiser des milliers de dollars.

Every Liberal calling out Pierre for living somewhere where he is entitled to. Just like their PM. And everyone before them.
Unless they have called out EVERY Leader of the Opposition before Pierre, they need to sit TF down.
It is a weak ass argument.
When we raised exactly these points of the need for integration of immigrants and shared Canadian values at Parliament, @JustinTrudeau implied we were racist.
But there was nothing ever racist about expecting newcomers to embrace the values that make this country worth coming to.
Refugees like my parents understood that. They didn't come here to recreate what they fled, they came to become Canadian.
Integration isn't exclusion. It's the promise we make to everyone who comes here: this is what we stand for, and you belong in it.
Calling that bigotry, as our then PM did, was how he lost the room — and the country.
It was an excuse to avoid the hard work of nation-building as a personification of his administration: broad values based pronouncements instead of actual leadership and results.
We can do better. We have to.
As a gay man, I can tell you attending a parade isn't a litmus test for supporting family. We have equal rights in Canada. Skipping a political event doesn’t mean you don't care, it just means you don’t align with the organizers. Real respect happens in everyday life, not a march.
