Did Carney Cross the Line on the $2.3 Billion Telesat Deal? Did he break the Law?? The Carney government just handed a $2.3 billion Arctic military satellite contract to Telesat the largest in the company’s history. The CEO is Dan Goldberg, a close personal friend of Mark Carney for nearly two decades. They met through their kids’ soccer league, ran a marathon together in London, and Goldberg was a guest at Carney’s swearing-in. Conservatives have already asked the ethics commissioner to review whether an ethics screen should have been in place. In Question Period, Pierre Poilievre repeatedly pressed Carney on a simple yes-or-no question: Did he ever discuss Telesat with his ministers, staff, or public servants? Carney’s carefully worded answers “I had no knowledge… I did not participate” do not directly address whether any discussion occurred at all. Telesat insists Goldberg never asked for special treatment. The PMO says the process was handled at arm’s length. Yet Telesat does not appear on Carney’s public conflict-of-interest screen, even as another minister who is friends with Goldberg has one in place. When a prime minister’s longtime friend lands a multi-billion-dollar sole-source-style defence contract and the prime minister will not give a clear answer about whether he talked to anyone in government about it, Canadians are right to ask hard questions. Transparency is not optional. Silence on a basic conflict question is not a good look and is do suspicious…

This one hits very close to home. My station is the station that responded to this call. Someone close to me, pronounced this young man dead. The tragic and preventable death of Ryan O’Shea in North Haven is a reminder of the consequences of Jahana Hayes’s open-border policies. For 8 years, Jahana Hayes has supported and advanced the very policies that incentivized and allowed Guillermo Carmona-Lopez, an illegal alien who had already been deported twice, to stay in the U.S. withou authorization.  When I am elected to Congress, I will work with both parties to keep our borders secure and end the deadly sanctuary policies that Jahana Hayes and Ned Lamont have supported.
