In Ottawa they call it “arm’s-length.” Out in the real world, people call it duck-and-cover. At Meeting No. 6 of the House of Commons transport committee, MPs confronted a simple, damning timeline: Transport Canada’s top non-partisan official was warned six weeks before the public announcement that BC Ferries would award a four-ship contract to a Chinese state-owned yard. Yet the former transport minister, Chrystia Freeland, told Parliament she was “shocked.” Those two facts do not coexist in nature. One is true, or the other is.
There’s an even bigger betrayal hiding in plain sight. In the last election, this Liberal government campaigned on a Canada-first message—jobs here, supply chains here, steel here. And then, when it actually mattered, they watched a billion-dollar ferry order sail to a PRC state yard with no Canadian-content requirement attached to the federal financing. So much for “Canada first.” Turns out it was “Canada… eventually,” after the press release.
Conservatives put the revelation on the record and asked the only question that matters in a democracy: what did the minister know and when did she know it? The documents they cite don’t suggest confusion; they suggest choreography—ministerial staff emailing the Prime Minister’s Office on how to manage the announcement rather than stop the deal that offshored Canadian work to a Chinese state firm.
Follow the money and it gets worse. A federal Crown lender—the Canada Infrastructure Bank—underwrote $1 billion for BC Ferries and attached no Canadian-content requirement to the financing. In plain English: taxpayers took the risk, Beijing got the jobs. The paper trail presented to MPs is smothered in black ink—hundreds of pages of redactions—with one stray breadcrumb: a partially visible BC Hydro analysis suggesting roughly half a billion dollars in B.C. terminal upgrades to make the “green” ferry plan work. You’re not supposed to see that. You almost didn’t.

When sidelined to Transportation, she said that ‘transport is sexy!’. Or Internal Trade? Anyway, it’s equally stupid.
Don’t know about others but for me she is very unpleasant, she gives a vibe of some fake android-witch with wrong circuitry/cabling inside (red wire to blue plug or something like that). She was pushed for years as next great thing in Canada but she’s faar below even a normal common-sense human. The way she talks, walks, facial expressions – everything about her is weird and wrong.
“The way she talks, walks, facial expressions – everything about her is weird and wrong.”
Aye. Die rot giftzwerg.
She’ll be free to partake of whichever chemical additives she’s been partaking in while she’s over there.
It’s gonna be lit.
So you don’t suppose it’s stabbing pangs of conscience giving her the twitches, eh?
Okay, okay …. just being silly.
er… no.
Nice try though! I think it’s good that you tossed that angle out there for consideration.
Her and Zelensky can snort together
You don’t think it’s a normal common-sense human that gleefully freezes bank accounts of Canadians that just want the government to leave them alone?
No I certainly don’t. But then again, I dont think its a normal common-sense human that would approve the freezing of bank accounts of those freedom-loving innocents who donated to the Convoy. Yet a majority of Canadians thought that was okay.
AKA the grey swirling masses of BRAINWASHED PUMPKIN HEADS
no hope. l dont have the time or energy to do ANYTHING to slow down, or redirect or delay or halt the LOOOOOONNNNNGGGG slide.
F YOU cANADUH
Dan, you misunderstand today’s politics. In the global scheme of things, national parliaments are just stepping stones to the real gravy train of unaudited payments and diplomatic immunity offered by the ever-growing number of trans-national quangos, such as IMF, World Bank, WHO, EU, UN committees, “charities”, etc.
It’s the same model as the ambitious running for school board trustee being just a stepping stone to running for provincial, then federal, parliament. It’s a career ladder. None of these people give a toss about the job, that’s what the bureaucracy, or permament government, is for, to shield the elected ones.
Yes, that’s why she was shoved down our throats like a bad medicine. Something like:
‘Take it, it’s good for you!’
‘Yeah, then why I keep vomiting?’
Same way Carney was presented as next great thing. A Harvard/Oxford WEF comrade groomed by EU eco-socialists. He’s a Zero and every single PR with him proved that: no charisma whatsoever, doesn’t know how to talk in front of a microphone, doesn’t have any reflexes for high-level politics yet he will save Canada. How stupid is that…
Yes, the global repositories for the stolen loot of the criminal enterprise of the state. Only participants are electable.
“The way she talks, walks, facial expressions – everything about her is weird and wrong.”
That’s why we call her Twitchy. Can’t stand still, can’t sit still, yeah. Definitely a bad transistor or two on that circuit board.
And now that she’s abandoned ship rather than wear that upcoming budget, we get to have our budget delivered by a woman who’s most responsible private sector job was waitress.
It’s like watching a freakin’ puppet show.
I don’t want to know where the hand is…
and yet they STILL get enough votes to do this TIME AND AGAIN.
start the byatching and complaining THERE otherwise ye tried and true ‘ufts’
until the nxt election, we will see if the liberal voters still want this favoritism.
Every province needs to put citizen status on every drivers license as all you need to vote is a drivers license. The Liberals are stealing elections.
You can also vote with a printed bill, that you create at home, and photo ID is not required.
Can’t disagree but the amount of “old stock” Canadians that got orgasmic over the whole Elbows Up nonsense tells me the country is lost for a long time and possibly forever.
you said it hv. gawdalmighty when the elbows up nonsense got readily taken up by the 50s and 60somethings.
too far gone. where *is* the voting block that’s going to ‘save’ us? write off all nude demon sparc, write off college age, write off minimum wage freebie receivers, write of the hard core liberals, again *where are the all important votes going to come from* to correct this??
it all reinforces my view we are *already* past the tipping point, its just taking a while for the nation to die.
Can’t disagree, even if it got bad enough for the young Canadians, a bunch of boomers will drag themselves to the polls well into their 90’s to vote Liberal. Not to mention the millions of new Liberal voters previously mentioned.
I get it – it’s a machiavellian ploy to desensitize Boomers to Liberal grifts and scandals.
Erbows up!!!
Freeland has a very rare quality: men can call her a C and a lot of women wouldn’t raise an objection.
Ugh! The image of her picking her toenails in the HOC is still fresh on my mind.
Good grief! Rank skank.
get this image out of yer head Canaduh:

For starters, freeze the bank account of the witch.
Shithole.
When the Conservatives rise in the House to ask what the hell went on with this file, the #Libranos will respond by saying, “Mr. Speaker the loyal opposition doesn’t want us to do what’s right for our nation”
and the fact finding will be at least as good as what you’d get from an astrologer, even an expert astrologer.
When’s the next election?
The best thing about Miss Piggy being shipped off to Ukraine is we won’t have to listen or watch the twitchfests any longer.
The galling thing is that she will be in the heart of the greatest grifting honeypot the world has ever seen, where she will be feasting at a trough built and designed for people like her…
The best thing would be her getting whacked by a Russian drone. Canada’s response: Please President Trump, help us right this egregious wrong?? Trumps response: Sorry Vlad, it’s a shame you had to waste a bomb on that horrible c*nt.
Don’t forget Anita Indira Anand. Anand was the president of the Treasury Board from 2023 to 2024 and the minister of transport and internal trade from 2024 to 2025. In 2021, she became the minister of national defence and played a key role in Canadian efforts to provide military aid to Ukraine during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. She is the one to watch.
I thought the concept of green ferries was absurd, but most greens are fairies anyway
Except for our last Prime Minister.
He was green, but he was a black fairy.
So are we going to get a bunch of by-elections? That will be fun. I’m sure the Longest Ballet crew will be all over them.
