  4. Front page news, again, that’s hidden and censored in this place to keep the people ignorant.

    And Liberal racist Party voters like it that way.

  5. Both of these links should have been filed under Things You Won’t Hear On the CBC, and should have full coverage generating full outrage.

    The ostensibly Postmedia London Free Press chose today, its last day of publishing before the election, to publish an article in which Tristin Hopper details Canada’s lost decade step by step. He makes the points that Poilievre and Bernier have been making for months, but which have been barely covered. Instead, the Free Press, like most of the media, has been catering to the fears of Trump-fearing pearl-clutchers, many of whom have already voted early in their panic.

  6. Should have run the “just visiting” ads again, but the con braintrust always makes teh wrong decisions.

    1. “Should have run the “just visiting” ads again, but the con braintrust always makes teh wrong decisions.”

      They are deathly afraid of offending someone, somehow.

  7. It is distressing that the issue of where Carney pays taxes has been systematically a ignored by the media. This is an example of why people have lost trust in the media.

    1. My assumption is that some shady character told the government media not to ask where Carney filed his taxes for the past 5 years, despite working for a “Canadian” company.

  8. This won’t likely be a popular opinion, but here goes:

    This, IMO, is one of the most positive things about Carney’s past. As CEO of Brookfield he was responsible to the participants and investors. That’s the job of a CEO. If he can LEGALLY benefit those investors by getting creative using tax shelters. Then, he is obligated to do so. You shouldn’t be looking at Carney in a negative light on this. Arguably, you should be looking at the fairness of the system that legally allows it to happen.

    Take a walk down memory lane and check out the Presidential Debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Clinton chastised Trump for creatively using the tax system to pay lower taxes in his Trump Enterprise. Trump very correctly responded that “Of course I will use the system to my advantage legally. I’d be a poor CEO if I didn’t and the only reason I can is because politicians like her allow the opportunity to exist.” (paraphrase)

    All that being said. This doesn’t absolve Carney being transparent about his personal finances, and how he applied those shelters. It should be open knowledge.

    1. “If he can LEGALLY benefit those investors by getting creative using tax shelters. Then, he is obligated to do so. You shouldn’t be looking at Carney in a negative light on this. ”

      You’re not wrong, Orson. Can you imagine any Canadian politician (or ‘journalist’) coming out and saying this in public, though?

      Jagmeet Singh is just as wilfully ignorant and deceptive as ever. He must know that every single one of those European health-care systems that are ranked ahead of our Canadian one uses a mix of public *and* private delivery of services, right? How could he not?

      1. I’ll tell you where they SHOULD be attacking Carney. It’s on the Net Zero (GFANZ) nonsense, that fell apart due to participants realizing that in disallowing Energy Companies proper financial representation (loans etc.) in the name of climate change, they violated their fiduciary responsibilities to investors.

        THAT could, very well, be illegal. And, the fact that the whole house of cards fell down as major players pulled out including all five major banks…shows a legacy that Carney rather not have you talking about.

        1. Unfortunately, the transcription of his testimony to the House Finance Committee will be safely locked away until after the election.
