In olden times this was called patronage, or a conflict of interest, or favoritism, or nepotism. Now it’s just called Wednesday.

Reminder, Carney’s daughter goes to an Ivy League School in the Country he claimed might attack us.
If you think he believed for a second that they were capable of that wouldn’t he bring her back to Canada?
Going forward, everyone needs to call this man out. He says these things because he knows not a single journalist in Canada will actually go hard after him for anything. What’s one question today, is forgotten about the next. Never to be brought up again, zero accountability.

Ian Lee is not doing a rant. He is doing arithmetic.

Canada ships about $400 billion a year to the United States. That sounds like a weapon until you put it against their economy. It is about 1.5 percent of U.S. GDP. One and a half fingers. They are a $32 trillion machine. China is a distant second. We are just over two.

A small country does not win a trade war with a large one. We do not have the cash or the cushion. Retaliation lands here first. Plants. Distilleries. The till. Not a podium in Washington.

The part Ottawa will not say is the part that should enrage you.

Trump did not invent the dependency. He did not ban pipelines for a decade. He did not write the $200 billion in interprovincial barriers. He did not decide we would sell almost everything south and then lecture the only customer. We did that. He found the cracks and pushed.

Carney ran as the adult who could close a deal. Seventeen months later the file is a slogan and a walk-away. Elbows up polls. Arithmetic does not.

Lee’s fix is not another speech in Europe. Kill the barriers between provinces. Move resources at volume. Stop pretending 1.5 percent of their GDP is a chokehold.

You cannot bring the largest economy on earth to its knees with a rounding error. You can only bring your own plants to a stop and call it principle.

Where are all the environmentalists?

[jayson faulkner @mushman_h]

and how many of those qualified waiting doctors have fake certificates I wonder. I wish he would stop lying...it gets tiresome.

[JayGen 𝕏 er🇨🇦 @JayGenXer]

Fact check.

B.C. does lead the provinces on doctors per 100,000. CIHI. 271. That part is real.

The 800 is not 800 doctors. Last official breakout was 109 MDs plus nurses and allied. The triple is a $15 million promise.

What he skipped. Family doctors per 100,000 fell 124 to 119. CMA still has millions with no regular doctor. 323,000 British Columbians are on Health Connect waiting to be attached. 13,000 internationally trained physicians already here are not working as doctors. One in ten ER doctors in a national cohort left the specialty.

A ratio on a briefing note does not clear a waiting list. Put the attachment number next to the press release.

Doctor’s and nurses are steadily leaving Canada 🇨🇦 for the USA 🇺🇸

Nepotism at its Canadian finest. Imagine of Pierre did this and appointed his wife to such a position with such major funding.....MSM...nothing to see here...Hurrah!!

[Kirk Lubimov @KirkLubimov]

Total clown show.

Mark Carney announces his wife at the UN, who he appointed as Canada's first Ocean Envoy and will Chair the Our Ocean Conference, and $82M for UN ocean monitoring initiatives.

Carney's wife, who is unelected, will now have direct policy influence and will work on "ocean conservation and climate action".

Just the usual nepotism in the banana republic of Canada.

Justin Trudeau’s visa policy on Mexico was subject of CBSA intelligence warning about allowing cartel members to infiltrate; Trudeau policies on student visas enabled Bishnoi transnational gang to penetrate; Indian transnational trucking mafias went wild under Trudeau while RCMP stonewalled DEA. All solid reporting from The Bureau. David Eby actually is a smart person and knows his province is a global outlier for all of these transnational crime issues, in addition to the fentanyl labs and money laundering and Chinese gangs on the northern border consecutive US Administrations have been concerned with, since 2017 as I know, and reported in Wilful Blindness. Reporters should ask him what he is doing about the above problems when he talks about Trump. Trump didn’t make those problems.

🚨 Mark Carney is meeting Vietnam’s leader today, so naturally I had one question: How long before Brookfield turns up?

Turns out I was late. They’re already there. Well, butter my ass and slap an industrial carbon tax on it. I’m starting to think researching this government should come with a bingo card.

Read this before today’s announcements start landing.

“Carney prepared for ‘risk’ that Trump might order US-led military invasion of Canada”

PEAK propaganda.

Of EPIC proportions from the Liberal party & promoted by the CTV.

CTV is a billion dollar rage baiter that keep the Liberals in power.

It’s their whole business model.

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

The latest OECD data is out.

Global growth forecast is UP⬆️
Canada’s growth forecast is DOWN⬇️

A decade of high Liberal taxes, skyrocketing deficits, and red tape blocking projects are all costing you.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Like everything else he does, Carney’s so-called “deepening ties with the EU” is all talk and no results.

We already have a free trade deal with the EU, but he has failed to get the needed 27 European countries to ratify it. He held another overhyped meeting with Macron the other day, but couldn’t even get the French to ratify that trade deal we already have.

It is all show and no go.

Meanwhile here at home, people cannot afford groceries, gas, and mortgages.

Climate change makes hurricanes more frequent and intense, they said. But for the first time in 112 years, the Atlantic hasn't produced a single one. On storms, sea level, and droughts, manipulated models can show, under equally valid assumptions, the exact opposite trends.

David Eby is the worst Premier that the Province of BC has had in my lifetime and this opportunistic, cynical and unnecessary election is completely self serving and arrogant. I hope he gets the result he deserves, which is nothing short of electoral annihilation, on October 24th

[Marc Dalton, MP @MarcDalton]

This is politics at its most cynical.

David Eby and the NDP are calling an election two years early, not because British Columbians need one, but because they see an opportunity to exploit a change in opposition leadership.

They’re even doing it in the middle of municipal elections. The Union of B.C. Municipalities asked Eby to wait just a few weeks.

He refused.

He put partisan politics ahead of British Columbians.

After years of NDP government, B.C. is facing soaring deficits, rising costs and mounting pressure on essential services.

They called this election to save themselves. Now British Columbians have the opportunity to hold them accountable.

Enough is enough. It’s time for a change in government and a new direction for British Columbia.
