"Never Seen Anything Like This" | Even CBC Can't Defend Mark Carney Anymore...

We have never seen anything like this, ever.Talked about tinfoil hat people.This is not a way to bring people along.If anything, it fuels conspiracies.

summer, not a great look, and I am actually stunned that this aired.I'm Jasmine Lane, like, share, subscribe, comment your thoughts down below, and give me a follow on other platforms as well.Pierre Polyev had some choice words and a challenge for the media today at his press conference, and it looks like they actually found a moment to truly look inside themselves.And boy, did they ever deliver.

having with our constituents, so I encourage the media to have those conversations with Canadians.Your viewers, listeners and readers, ask them how their cost of living, their bank accounts, their gas and grocery prices are doing after a year of Mark Carney, so that we can actually focus on the real results for real people, rather than just the endless announcements, allusions and gushing media praise that we get every single day.Why not ask how people are actually living and what results they're actually getting in their cost of living and the crime in their communities after a year and a half of Mark Carney.

Before we get into this a little bit more, I wanted you to take a listen to Robert Fyfe and what he had to say about Mark Carney as he attended recently the G7 in particular, and then we'll fact check it.

Was Carney seems to be emerging as one of the leadersVery unusual for Canada.But people look to him, you can see that he's a player there.You can just see it.He's talking to the other leaders, they're reaching out for him.

The prime minister is leaving the G7 summit without an official sit down with the US president.

He's being interviewed on American but also in European newspapers and on European television.

It's worth noting that he was the one that Macron sat down with before the summit in order to talk about how it was going to play out.

The last time I recall of anybody having that kind of an impact, although I think Carney maybe have even more, is Brian Marooney.That's a long time ago.Marooney was a schmoozer.He knew how to work the room.This, clearly to me, I think Carney is It's early days again, but you can start to see that they are seeing him as one of the key leaders of that group.

You know, I do think it's interesting that he mentions Mulroney because Mulroney's influence and respect was corroborated with actual evidence, whereas Robert Fife, a veteran parliamentary correspondent, in 200 words or so, gave seven different hedges about why Carney is so amazing and sought after and a true leader based on no evidence other than you can just see it.Well, he was interviewed by international media.I'm sorry, what?They all were.Every single one of them was.Huh?

What are you saying right now?Like, that's not geopolitical influence.That's just your schedule when you get there.Alrighty.Oh, my goodness.And I should also note that he had a meeting with Macron while he was there, too.

Nobody else did.Well, that's not true.Macron met with dozens of people while he was there.In fact, he meets with lots of them all the time because they're in the same general area.So that's really nothing.And that could literally be something as small as, hey, do you want to grab a drink before this thing starts?

Or I just want to know where you stand on something.You know, I want to tell you a funny story without the press being around or hot mics picking us up like.

This cannot go on.Our biggest export can no longer be Mark Carney's speeches.Canadians cannot eat re -announced liberal Promises.Symbolic signing ceremonies of meaningless MOUs.Don't pay people's mortgages.Illusions.

Don't fill people's gas tanks.We need to get back to reality.And the reality is that nothing has changed if you look past the announcements and the feel -good photo ops.Nothing has changed in your life.Mark Carney has doubled Trudeau's deficits, is spending 5 % more year over year, kept every anti -development law in place, is increasing the industrial carbon tax six times higher than Trudeau's.There are 500 projects awaiting federal approval, while Mark Carney holds photo ops to celebrate just one or two.

And to be completely fair, I do not think that Robert Fife is saying that maliciously.I think he genuinely believes it.But I think You can just see it is not a news report when you have three people at a table, four people at a table who are all agreeing with you.other, that is not a news report.That is not an unbiased segment.

I wanted to ask what led to this recommendation about experts assessing CBC for fairness and balance.And I'm wondering whether you're concerned that it could be interpreted as you saying CBC is currently biased, or is that how it should be interpreted?

So thanks for the question.That should be a part of normal oversight in any government funded institution.I know we have an audit and oversight committee in the Senate that looks at these things and we have independent people on that committee to do that.So this recommendation was born out of certainly a good governance perspective.it's well known that public trust in the media is declining.And I think this is one recommendation that could, well, whether it could turn it around, it could stem that tide.

Do you want to know what I think about this most influential prime minister, possibly more so than Mr. Mulroney or any of our past prime ministers, is that when you have every single party in the country Criticizing the government for their lack of transparency, their bulldozing, their lack of respect for democracy.I think that's a lot more important in your country than, well, he was talking to other world leaders.You can just see it.Because here's what Canadians see.

It doesn't feel right.It doesn't feel right in my bones that a bill as controversial, establishing a new surveillance infrastructure should be passed with a committee just having a rule that says wedebate amendments before we vote on them and then for people in my position that would be me and the member for Vancouver East Jenny Kwan with amendments and not really allowed to participate in the meeting at all.

But Elizabeth May it's to protect the victims of criminals.So this is about Bill C -22 and Elizabeth May, previously in that same press conference, she had actually mentioned how she had sat through hours and hours and hours of various committee process hearings, whatever you want to call them, because she had amendments to this bill.And it actually wasn't until a conservative member of parliament said, Elizabeth May should be able to say something here, that they actually let her speak.

But it's worth noting that every single opposition party opposed a bill that was pushed through just moments ago with a unanimous consent motion and no vote.The gathering forces that affront democracy itself in this place are hard to observe from the outside, but I feel them keenly from the inside.

You know, when Mark Carney manufactured his majority through floor crossers, the first time in the Westminster system that that has ever happened, and the media, of course, was, oh, well, you know, people have crossed the floor before.Yeah, it's never created a majority government.Your argument is irrelevant here.Totally different situation that we are in at the moment.They are basically working as if they were the only party in the House.

Asked if he's kept track of how many times the Liberals leveraged their standing to shut down debate, the government House leader said no.

I have not.

Why not?

I have bills to pass, work to do.

MPs will be spending the next two and a half months in their ridings, with the Liberals headed into the summer hiatus with a double -digit polling record.over the conservatives.

I at the very least, I remember thinking to myself, I'm sure I talked about it on the show too, where I'd said like, you know, this is disgraceful.It's shameful.It's undemocratic, but okay.This is the reality.Prove me wrong.Do something with it.

Fix this.Fix this.If that's what you need, fix it.And this is what they do with it.

We are seeing the government use its newly acquired majority to push through a bunch of legislation, significant, profound changes to Canada's laws, using all of the powers of the majority to push it through without sufficient debate and discussion.There's a thread that connects these big moves that the government is making.If it's on corporate Canada's wish list, it's on the government's fast -track list.Whether it's undermining the regulation of pesticides and food safety buried in an omnibus bill, whether it's a Clean Water Act that removes the right to water for Indigenous communities, or whether it's professing concern about surveillance pricing while just creating a vague process with no clear ban to this predatory corporate practice.Whether it's environmental regulation, the entire edifice of climate policy in Canada, Indigenous rights, everything is being swept away in the service of pursuit of industrial projects that disproportionately benefit massive corporations and are making Canadians less safe and less secure.Canadians need to know what's going on in this house in these final hours of this session.

These matters are too consequential.And there's nothing routine or ordinary about this process.We've never seen powers like this before granted to cabinet.I'm not talking about one piece of legislation.I'm talking about multiple pieces of legislation and a pattern where it appears that corporate lobbyists are writing the laws of Canada.This is not business as usual.

These are unprecedented times and they're unprecedented measures and they deserve the light of day and of public debate.and not to be shoved through at the end of a session.

I do want to clarify and I should have shown this clip as a part of it but honestly it is like two or three hours worth and I didn't write down what time this one was said but yesterday I had shared something from Jim Balsillie and He had also mentioned something in his testimony while he was at committee and they were talking about trade and business investment banking that sort of thing.And this was so important, which was that Jim said that Previously in other governments, private sector, small business, that sort of thing, was very much involved in discussions with Ottawa as it pertained to laws, legislation, regulations being passed.So when Avi Lewis says, oh, it's all for these corporate, big corporations, yada yada, and it's them writing our laws.In a normal democratic process, that's not in and of itself inherently bad to have the movers and makers, the big employers of your country, be a part of saying, hey, capital gains tax is really stupid.You should avoid that.But what is actually happening here is it's not as though it is the small businesses and the entrepreneurs, the angel investors, things like that, that are a part of these decisions.

It is a very, very small core group of highly connected individuals who benefit massively from all of these things.And that was something that Jim Balsillie said.He was very clear that he has far more correspondence with the White House when it comes to regulating and things like that, where they want his advice than he does with Canada.And Canada's his home country.

But I actually want to talk about what happened this week, because I think it feeds into a possible problemthe liberals need to be attuned to.Last week, Michael Sabia, speaking at the Eurasia Group, this is the clerk of the Privy Council, talked about one of the things the Kearney government has that's an asset, which is trust from the public.What happened this week is that the liberals decided to use their majority to shut down debate and pass legislation that is very controversial, bills that were not studied, in some cases had no witnesses that even testified as to whether this was good or bad.We had the lawful access bill that has gotten a bit more attention across the country.And the government completely shut down the debate.

In some cases, they even backdated the ability of opposition members to bring forward amendments, so only government members could bring forward amendments.We have never seen anything like this.ever.Like, we have talked a lot about these kind of moves during the Harper era, especially during his majority government, and with reason.I think we deserve to talk and highlight what is happening in this case.And I bring it up because the trust issue.

The government house leader talked about he hoped the conspiracies around C -22, the lawful access bill, would just go away, that time would allow these to pass.He talked about tinfoil hat people.

I'll play you as well what Stephen McKinnon had to say about this, but I do really want to note that while he dismisses this as tinfoil hats and conspiracies, wow, where have I heard that one before?How original.Apple, Meta, Signal, various Canadian startups, I mean, NordVPN, Windscribe, Tailscale, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, which represents over 200 ,000 businesses, Information Technology Industry Council,and that's the lobby group, by the way, that represents Amazon, Google, and NVIDIA, as well as the Canada -American Business Council, plus cybersecurity and civil liberties experts, were all the people sounding the same alarm about this legislation that the Liberals rammed through.According to the Liberals, their official stance on this is that they're all conspiracy theorists.

hate speech, victims' rights, and treating victims, and of course, giving us the last lawful access regime in the G7.This is a very real set of reforms in terms of criminal justice.What it has met from the conservatives is this wall of conspiracy theory, frankly paranoia.I hope that the conspiracies and the tinfoil hats are something that will fade away over time, but we can now safely say that it is the Liberal Party that's the party that's most clearly for law and order in the country.

This is not a way to bring people along.If anything, it fuels conspiracies.So there was no reason to pass these bills.They could have taken the summer to study them and bring more Canadians on side.And I think that they are takingthey risk taking, I should say, Canadians' votes for granted.

Call me crazy, but when experts across the political spectrum in various industries, including American lawmakers, raise the exact same privacy concerns, maybe the best move isn't name -calling.right?Maybe it's actually just making the case for your own bill.Like, wouldn't it be cool if instead of saying tinfoil hats, huh, conspiracy, the same just so tiredly repetitive rhetoric insinuating that everybody who opposes us, well, they're just obviously a little wacky.They're lesser than us.Maybe the government could have said instead, you know, here's the clause that prevents the overreach that you're worried about.

Here's why so -and -so is wrong.Here's our data.Let me explain this to you better.But no, they didn't do that.They did not do that.They fast -tracked this bill, shut down debate on dozens of amendments, didn't even bring forth any witnesses, did this in the wee hours of the night, I'd like to add, forced committee to approve it before midnight, and then had the audacity to call critics, experts, and massive industry leaders paranoid.

I agree that it's unprecedented to find a government using its newly found majority not obtained at the polls to speed up or force feed nine bills to the House of Commons.I don't think I've ever seen anything like this.And I believe that in the end, it leads one to poor relationships between the parties and you never know when you're going to need help from across the aisle in instances.But it also leads to bad legislation because no legislation that is brought in in a hurryperfect and to not want to hear what others have to say about this is kind of leading you into a place that you're not going to like.

One is it's playing to a certain stereotype, if you will, of liberals.If the besetting sin of conservatives is a certain chippy defensiveness, the besetting sin of liberals is arrogance.And the smart ones in the liberal camp always know that that's their kryptonite.So it's not good to be playing to that.It's not good for a guy who's kind of the top dog type, as Mark Carney is, to be seen to be too conscious of it.A little bit of personal humility and governmental humility is always becoming in somebody who is, in fact, the top dog.

Final point I'll make, just as an addition to this in terms of the trust issue, and maybe a sleeper on this, is artificial intelligence, AI.The public is really worried, really scared by this.All the polls show it.That paper that the federal government brought out talked a lot about trust, but did very little in terms of concrete proposals to try to allay public fears on this.The overriding message of the thing was full speed ahead.And that could come back to bite them.

Yeah, they would probably point to the privacy legislation as trying to build trust.I'm not saying that it will.

But in fact, it doesn't make the privacy commission accountable to the government rather than accountable to.Yes.

And those are all bridges that they will have to cross, I guess, in the fall.OK.

The Kearney government does not have the ability to do this through a majority that they earned at the polls.The vote was actually very split.Right.And so this This whole thing, number one, was not even on their election promises at all.This was nothing that they ran on.They just threw it in, rushed it through right before summer break.

And that was never put to voters or even witnesses or experts in this case.And perhapsthat's why you see Mark Carney's popularity falling so sharply just before summer.Bad luck.

So, Folster's Angus Reid reporting that Kearney's approval rating has dropped from its high in February of 63 % down to 55%.Not the trend line, probably not what the federal liberals want to see.

22 % of all people who are homeless are over the age of 65.

It's very difficult living outside, not being able to take care of yourself.

94 % of the people on the B .C.housing affordable housing wait list for seniors didn't get a space.

My husband and I have both been trying to find a second job.
