Cherry-picked "experts".
@MichelleRempel CP called you a liar in a "fact-checking" piece for calling it a crisis, IIRC. Them fact-checking a matter of pure opinion is still one of my favourite go-to examples of overt press bias in Canada. It was basically: "MR said X but we found experts who disagree. ".

2/ At committee, the Minister did not give a single example of how C-5 expands internal trade, saying she didn’t want to “overstate” the benefits. Canadians expect increased economic growth through internal trade. Not headlines or legislation that does not move the needle.

Liberals talk big about freer trade in Canada. Here they talk about their ‘data’ &’leadership’ yet never share data or real world examples:. “. he called himself one of the “data nerds” & said right off the bat that it was an “exciting time” to talk about internal trade.”

Strongly agree.
Canadians are calling for urgent bail reform — the federal government and @bcndp must act NOW!. The tragic murder of Bailey McCourt in Kelowna exposes a broken bail system that’s putting lives at risk. BC needs tougher bail conditions, faster domestic violence court processes,.

It needs to be understood. On the same day he was found guilty for previous acts of violence against Bailey, James Plover was released on "conditions". The first thing he did after his release was to hunt Bailey down and murder her in cold blood publicly. The "justice".

“The prime minister’s answer—faster growth and a balanced operating budget within three years—sidestepped the real issue…this defence commitment will require one of three hard choices: larger deficits, higher taxes, or significant spending cuts. It could even involve all three.”.
Canada’s 5 percent of GDP defence spending commitment comes with a fiscal reckoning. And it's more than an 'operating budget' problem. My latest for @TheHubCanada explores the future of the federal budget: #cdnecon #cdnpoli

The Liberals were clear, and I quote from the Minister:. "I ask that you verify and confirm with utmost certainty that no federal funding will be diverted to support the acquisition of these new (China-built) ferries.". We are asking the Liberals to do as they say.

You can’t make this up:.This Federal Crown Corp is financing $1Billion that outsources Canadian steel, aluminum & shipbuilding jobs to a Chinese state owned shipyard, while an independent projection shows it won’t meet its own targets here in 🇨🇦.

It is often said that it is called "question period" and not "answer period" for a reason. However, full credit to the Minister who did answer my question and was clear that federal tax dollars would not be funding Chinese state-built ferries. So what happened?

The Liberal govt. cannot continue to fail victims of serious crime. There must be justice for Bailey. No more excuses. No more reviews. Serious changes. Now. "This happened in broad daylight, after the system had every chance to intervene.".
