After Mike Myers politicised his "Elbows Up" into a Liberal campaign meme with his rinkside chat with Mark Carney*, Sandi Rinaldo signed off every news broadcast with it.

* - If you ever wondered why the rinkside campaign ad had the awkward closing scene where the camera zooms out with Mark Carney distant from Mike Myers and only partially included in the picture, it's because the lettering on the back of their jerseys was CARNEY NEVER.

Can this can be considered institutional bias? --

On the first post-election Commons question period, Andrew Scheer asked how Mark Carney could pay for his campaign promises now that he had reduced the tariffs on U.S. goods.

The two national news networks that I viewed that evening showed part of the exchange, editing out of Mr. Scheer's question the reference to the reduced tariffs. I wonder how many Canadians are aware of what Mr. Carney did during the election campaign.

Well, with 20-odd billion dollars earmarked in Carney’s non-budget for consultants, there may be a very good reason why the government wants to keep its relationship with Eurasia Group on the down-low. Oddly enough, no one has asked about the flurry of contracts from the Ministry of Natural Resources to Eurasia Group just before prorogation. Funny how that works.

“so I’m really interested in how the ethics commission will advise Carney on how to manage this. Near as I can tell, though, no one else cares.”

I care.

I would also like to know if our PM has filed the paperwork regarding his private financial status as required by law. Has he completely divested himself from his Brookfield holdings or not?
