Also: Why are only Conservative Catholics scary? Plus! Postmedia turns on Alberta’s Smith and a journalists’ union campaigns to preserve government media subsidies
I'm Catholic. My French speaking northern Ontario family voted liberal for decades. 436 churches have burned in Canada per official order paper question. 2 fatalities.
Such silence.
I'm conservative now.
What is the impermissible shift. Voting right or doing so while expressing belief in God?
There is certainly more evidence of God moving in my life than any reason to watch, follow, read the CBC, or trust their sources.
What piece of criminal code legislation was archived in June or July of 2019.
181 Every one who wilfully publishes a statement, tale or news that he knows is false and that causes or is likely to cause injury or mischief to a public interest is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years.
The fact the use of the Emergency Act was predicated on cbc reports which turned out to be false should have shut down that outfit.
Free speech once the issue the left cared about has been dominated by concepts of wrong speak, that dangerously approach silencing politica dissent. Media is used to amplify the canceling of the wrong speaker.
A free media cannot be found in the MSM. The consequences have amounted to massive violations (IMO) to life, liberty and security of the person. Imagine publishing relevant health information on either effective or safe.
There really is no end to what moves at the surface without public debate. And we are frogs boiling without public discourse.
Instead we are told the topic du jour is the only reason yapping occurs.
Central Bank Digital Currency CBDC has been given a launch date in the EU of October 25, 2025.
Awfully convenient to have a central banker in place who has voiced the been for Emergency powers to run the economy who is a blatant climate radical.
The left, left the room in favor of inserting globalist projects and abandoned sanity. We standing are all fringe or all right for daring to comment on shifting sands of our times.
"got influencers like the Globe and Mail’s Andrew Coyne so excited "
The day of the Liberal leadership vote tally, I turned on the tv for some reason and there on CBC was some panel covering the event. I checked the schedule and it seems that it went on for hours. I saw no coverage on any other network.
In the olden days, when leadership races culminated in a convention with speeches and rounds of voting, I can understand why there would be such lengthy tv coverage, but in this case, the voting was conducting over about 2 weeks and the winner was known. It was just an election campaign event.
So, was the lengthy tv coverage more of the CBC campaigning for the Liberals? And Andrew Coyne sitting there on the panel? WTF?
These articles by Mr. Menzies are very enlightening.
I had to smile with the lack of media scrutiny over a devout Catholic becoming Prime Minister, because not long before reading this Substack post I found another story (full of inside baseball, not authorized to speak caveats) that Carney visited the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris yesterday. Admittedly, this was presented in a neutral tone, but I have to wonder if Andrew Scheer would have gotten away with a side visit to a noted Catholic Church without the “scary” suppositions attached?
What’s your take on Carney’s reluctance to talk to the media. Fife and another vet political journo were on one of the Sunday shows pointing out that he hates tough questions, used to being a central banker and being deferred to! How long can he avoid them?
I am solidly against the terms ‘left’ and ‘right’. I believe that they were originally used to define one’s stance on fiscal matters. Spenders were left while lock the vaults were right. Now they are used in all kinds of contexts and have become very subjective. There is no standing objective description that I know of for the terms. It has become a lazy descriptor.
I have always thought of myself as slightly right of the so-called centre. I believe in social change at a pace that society can absorb and adapt to and while I believe a government must spend to meet its responsibilities it must do so in a reasonable and pragmatic manner. Lately I have called everything from an alt-right loony to a leftie liberal. We need to demand better.
Feels to me like whatever his financial chops (destructive Netzero nonsense notwithstanding) he looks like a very weak politician and without a full court press of the usual suspects covering for him he is going to do very badly in a general election vs a career guy like Poilievre.
But his complete unwillingness to be honest, face and answer questions, makes him the perfect replacement for Trudeau.
If anything i see a repeat of Nov 5 down south. An unvetted politician, unchallenged in their rise develops no knife skills.
I really hope you're right but the media love the bastard and chronic lib voters aren't making their way into recovery so the guy the Brits call "Marx Carnage" may yet get his shot at adding to the Turd's wreckage.
Thanx again Peter..... it is evident that most MSM news sources (either print or airwaves) are not going to ask any hard questions of our newly unelected PM. They are fighting to save the subsidies that pay their salaries. (National Post being one exception, as you point out). We have here at home now, our own version of The USSR’s Pravda, (state sponsored media). This upcoming election will be quite interesting from the standpoint of “where are my Fellow Canadians” getting their news? I am hopeful that MSM will find out that the masses have left for the unsubsidized/private/independant sources, and the election results will show that clearly.🤞
Please give Randy Andy a break. He’s very excited that a central banker is running the country and ever since Charles Adler got what should have been Andy’s senate seat he’s a tad bitter. Not that central banking power trips run in the family or anything.
And i do so enjoy the Liberal ads comparing private sector Carney with Poilievre being a career politician.
As if Bank of Canada and Bank of England are the private sector.
GFANZ bankster mafia does qualify but not in a positive way.
The experience of Trudeau shows that a charismatic individual with good retail political instincts can be a force. Funny that the Libs had no problems with "no experience" running a country before.
I'd rather Poilievre had some private business experience, but i wouldn't be pleased if he had any of Carney's resume which despite the full court press is very mediocre.
His main claim to fame is trying to decapitate functional companies and economies and therefor i do see the symmetry of him taking over from Trudeau.
Look up what Fraulein Freeland did during her online media stint - running things into the ground is the reverse Midas Touch that attracts the eye of Sauron and guarantees promotion in the cult.
Particularly with Israel’s war against Gazan non-combatants young and old, heavily corporatized Western mainstream news-media have been, to put it mildly, editorially emasculated thus negligent. Though it may be due to orders from ownership headquarters and therefore beyond their control, our (Canada's) news-media are serious offenders, including the plentiful Postmedia products.
The most notable example is The National Post. One would really have to read it to believe it, especially since the initial (10/7) Hamas attack against Israel. It epitomizes an extreme example of an echo chamber promoting unconditional support for the Israeli state, including its very-long-practiced cruelty towards the Palestinian people.
More progressive outlets like Canada's other national newspaper, The Globe and Mail — progressive in regard to basically following ‘woke’ ideology: that of race, sexuality, gender, gender-bending and unrestricted abortion access — can be more deceptive with its essentially pro-Israel coverage and op/ed writing since 10/7. There seems to have been an attempt at appearing objective on this topic when it actually is not. (Then again, perhaps that actually makes the newspaper more insidious and therefore worse than The National Post, which is upfront with its intense, ugly bias.)
It may be due to orders from ownership headquarters and therefore beyond their direct control; nevertheless, journalists and editors with genuine integrity should/would tender their resignations and even publicly proclaim they can no longer help propagate their employer’s media product, whether it involves self-censored/missing coverage of a brutally-lopsided foreign war or that of domestic corporate corruption that will harm the populace.
It’s their ethical/moral duty to publicly reveal the compromised news-media product and therefor its facilitator. By doing so, such brave journalists can at least then also proclaim they will no longer participate in its creation and/or dissemination.
There's been too many cases of employees in various employment fields not standing up and doing what is necessary for the public and/or human(e) good, instead excusing themselves with something like: ‘I need this job' or 'but I have a family to support’. But, unless they were actually forced into coupling, copulating and procreating however many years earlier, such familial obligation status does not actually ethically or morally justify their willing involvement.
Non-disclosed public subsidies are a bribe. No ifs, ands or buts; they are a bribe.
Thank you, Peter. You’ve said what a lot of Cdns have been saying & thinking since Carney sashayed out in front of cameras.
He’s ‘legacy’ media’s protected baby. No one is allowed to question him lest his thin-skinned temperament lurches out from behind that pinched face.

Name calling is the least of our worries.
Central bankers are simply MAID for our aging economy.

A “devout” Catholic who is on public record stumping for a woman’s sacred rite to snuff her child.

If you want to see some CTV News bias, check out their segment on Carney’s imprecise language on Brookfield. Audio is so garbled that the segment is unwatchable. https://www.ctvnews.ca/video/2025/03/02/documentation-shows-mark-carney-may-have-known-about-brookfields-move-to-us/
"may have known"
Even the title is a lie.
Liberals gotta Liberal.

Most people are unaware that Andrew Coyne is the son of James Coyne, the Bank of Canada governor fired by the Diefenbaker government in 1961.
And i do so enjoy the Liberal ads comparing private sector Carney with Poilievre being a career politician.

Scheer wasn't skewered for having dual citizenship, he was rightfully taken to task for never revealing it at any point.
What would have been a non-issue instead was a huge score for the Liberals' "What else are they hiding?" narrative.
