#CBC unfairly attacks #Carney’s father | #NationalPost nationalpost.com/opinion/terry “the attempt to smear the elder Carney backfired. What Carney’s writings and the interview provided actually suggests is that Robert Carney was a good man, genuinely concerned with both the education of Indigenous children and the maintenance of their cultural pride. There are no allegations that the late Carney ever harmed an Indigenous student. As an educator and principal, he appears to have been beyond reproach”

Carney promises support for getting real, fact-checked news to Canadians. "Liberal Leader Mark Carney is pledging more government funding for CBC/ RadioCanada, directly countering Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's promise to cut Ottawa's support for the public broadcaster. Speaking in Montreal on Friday morning, Carney said a Liberal government would boost CBC's funding by $ 150 million." #cbc #news #factchecked #canada #carney

I figured it was time to write a weblog post breaking down the political and illogical farce of Trudeau's executive actions on firearms these last few years.

You probably won't see many posts like this from the far left, but as the saying goes: "When you go far enough left, you get your guns back."

Oh yeah, I should put a link instead of spending all of my time writing an alt-text on that free Tornado spud-gun advert that doesn't even link anywhere.

An advert for the 1979-04-07 issue of Tornado comic, which came with a spud gun that I could never make work. The rubber band just wasn't powerful enough to shove a potato plug out of its barely pressurised chamber. It was, however, better than the Turbo Flyer and the Mayday Wallet that were free in issues 1 and 2.

Je suis sans connaissance quand j'entends que les Québécois vont voter pour #Carney.

Coudonc $%&$ est-ce qu'ils écoutent les nouvelles, actualités, médias ?

#Carney se fout des Québécois, il n'est même pas capable de dire c'est quoi la culture au Québec, de dire s'il achète les produits d'ici ou pas.

Il a toujours des réponses vides de sens et ça c'est quand il répond à la question.

S'en parler des #impôts qu'il n'a pas payé en envoyant l'argent dans les #paradisfiscaux

“I resile to no one in terms of my understanding of the West, my connection to the West, and I’m part of a government that governs for all of the country, and very much for the West,” he said during a campaign news conference in Montreal."

---- who else but Carney has the intelligence to use RESILE in a sentence!

@leftylabourtech

Nora is right but totally wrong:

"Votes though, don’t matter. Forty years of neoliberalism has rendered our votes meaningless. The Liberals and the Conservatives are two sides of the same coin and that coin is in the back pocket of the elites."

Yes, both major parties are corporate. AND, #Poilievre is a psychopath who would sell #Canada to #Trump while #Carney apparently would not. Small but important difference.

Today's remarks from Prime Minister Mark Carney:

"If the United States no longer wants to lead, Canada will take that role.

We answered the call to defeat fascism.
We know we are not always perfect, but we always strive to be good. We do not do things because they are easy, but because they are right.
We will rise to meet this challenge, and we will emerge stronger."

@AnnieBuddy @ZenHeathen David Moscrop said this election has really highlighted the fact that the average 🇨🇦 voter isn't a policy expert; they're choosing instead to put stock in basic values like fairness and sensibility to help them make their decision.

For a candidate like Mark #Carney, being “reasonable” & "sensible" has become the most valuable currency in this election. #AdultInTheRoom

Pages of policy don't matter much if you don't have a country...

Via Acyn:

#Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.
