EXCLUSIVE: Ottawa Quietly Adds TIME Magazine to Canadian Journalism Subsidy List By Nick Shelly, Independent Journalist April 19, 2026 OTTAWA — Canadian taxpayers may soon be helping foot the bill for TIME magazine’s glowing coverage of Prime Minister Mark Carney. According to sources at Canadian Heritage, the department is fast-tracking TIME for eligibility under the Canada Periodical Fund after the U.S. publication ranked Carney second on its 2026 Most Influential Leaders list. The profile, written by Christine Lagarde, praised his “crisis steering,” climate warnings, and push for global cooperation. TIME took office? No — Carney did, in March 2025 after Trudeau’s resignation, winning the April election and securing a majority via bye-elections on April 13. While supporters cheer his centrist steadiness, critics like Pierre Poilievre blame earlier policies for ongoing inflation and question his financial track record. A government insider put it plainly: “They understand Carney’s vision. That makes them part of the Canadian media family now.” The move expands “Canadian content” to include international outlets that deliver favourable coverage of the Prime Minister. Exact funding amounts remain unclear, but the program has already directed millions to “diverse voices” aligned with national priorities. When asked for comment, Canadian Heritage said it supports journalism that “strengthens democracy.” Critics call it something else: buying influence with taxpayer dollars. This reporter has requested documents and will update as they arrive. Canadians deserve to know whose “most influential” list their money is subsidizing. Nick Shelly reports on government accountability and media funding. No subsidies received.

@FoodProfessor @MrCrumbsbody Nor mine.

@BrandoC4 @MrCrumbsbody My banker doesn't always deliver...

Prime Minister Carney’s message today was largely expected. The warning signs have been there for months, especially as he increased his international travel. We’ve also reached this point because he has not delivered on his key promise to secure a deal with the United States—a commitment that was both economically important and politically central. In that context, suggesting that the United States is no longer an ally is, quite frankly, hard to believe. What we’re now seeing is a clear weakening of CUSMA as a reliable trade framework. The possibility of a direct deal between the United States and Mexico—leaving Canada on the sidelines—is no longer far-fetched. That would be a major shift for how trade works in North America. For the agri-food sector, the risks are real. About 75% of Canada’s agri-food exports go to the United States. That has worked well for years, but it also means we are highly exposed. Diversifying sounds good in theory, but in practice it takes time, money, and new infrastructure. In the meantime, farmers, processors, and distributors would feel the pressure through tighter margins. In food, geography matters. You can’t move farmland. What we produce has to be shipped, and the farther the customer, the higher the cost. That makes us less competitive. On logistics and supply chains, Canada still trails several G20 countries. PM Carney's use of “forward guidance” is really about preparing Canadians for what’s ahead, and perhaps shifting blame. But make no mistake, Canada’s position is weakening. This isn’t really about opinions—it’s about reality. The real test will be how Canadian households, especially the middle class, handle the pressure. The adjustment is coming. The only question is who will bear the cost.

@Martyupnorth @cd_lmh His family lives in the US, whom he apparently can’t stand. I picture him living on a floor of an Ottawa hotel but I’m probably wrong. I haven’t looked into it due to lack of giving a shit.

Serious question. Remember the big deal Trudeau made about not wanting to live at 24 Sussex? Where are Carney and his "wife" living?

@DrBillCosby @lamphieryeg Bot

Charisma? That's the key factor? Isn't that why gullible Liberals elected this guy ⬇️three times? It certainly wasn't because he was smart or competent.

@lamphieryeg They’re all out tonight Gary, you’d think they’d be celebrating their hero banker but they’re still nervous about Pierre. It’s very confusing.

EDITORIAL: Dear Conservatives, avoid liberal advice 'There are conservatives who watch CTV and CBC, or read Liberal newspapers, and believe Liberal talking heads can be won over ... who think if we just had the right tone, Liberals might extend us grace' torontosun.com/opinion/editor…

@Myself9752465 It’s a sport he’s followed for years. Good luck with your MAGA bullshit though. It’s nice to see it’s only really stupid liberal voters that still use the term.

DOES OUTHOUSE ACTUALLY THINK SENDING PP TO A MAGA UPC EVENT IN WINNIPEG WILL FLIP VOTERS?

@LangmanVince She’s a dude too? I can’t keep up these days.

Jennifer Lopez and Will Smith are apparently dating! Thoughts?

@lamphieryeg Carney doesn’t count, he hardly ever played, apparently his goals against average wasn’t even close to net zero.

And Carney was a hockey goalie. Didn't Liberals tell us hockey is a racist white sport?

@NatashaMontreal @CarymaRules The tolerant left.

Reporting from protests in Canada is becoming increasingly dangerous for journalists. Shortly after this interview, @CarymaRules was assaulted while reporting and had her camera stolen before recovering it. Thankfully, she is okay.

@msSharanKaur Don’t worry about it, you hate him anyway.

This video smells like regret…

@bruce_arthur Look at you Bruce, a government paid news shill just like the rest. A scumbag.

So at this moment in history Poilievre’s pivot has been to go on Joe Rogan (right before Rogan wound up at an Oval Office event) hit UFC and chat with Dana White (a Trump pal who is holding an event on the White House lawn in June), and call the Prime Minister badly educated

@bruce_arthur Bruce doesn't mention that Dana White stepped up to help Tumbler Ridge shooting victim Maya Gebala. ctvnews.ca/vancouver/arti…

@SecScottBessent @FP_Champagne In other words, you spoke to a complete idiot. Look up his background.

This past Friday, I met with Canadian Minister of Finance and National Revenue @FP_Champagne to discuss ongoing economic cooperation between the United States and Canada. We discussed the conflict with Iran, energy markets, and ways to build on progress made on our critical minerals collaboration. I also encouraged Canada to continue to assist with the Trump administration’s efforts to tackle drug trafficking-related illicit financing.

@SatireSquadHQ @CanadaMom73 I’m a senior and I call bullshit!

New: CBC Poll says 96% of seniors see immigration as a net positive despite crime and healthcare strains. Vancouver — A new CBC poll has found that an overwhelming 96 per cent of Canadians aged 65 and older view immigration as a net positive for the country, even as many express concerns about its impact on public safety and access to care. The survey of seniors comes as Canada continues to grapple with record population growth driven largely by immigration, which has coincided with soaring housing costs and stretched healthcare systems in major cities. Eighty-six per cent of respondents cited declining home values as a top concern, with many emphasizing the importance of maintaining property equity built over decades. “I love the diversity — my cleaner is from the Philippines, my gardener from Mexico,” said one 72-year-old retiree from West Vancouver, who asked not to be named. “Just don’t let anything slow the bidding wars until I flip this place to the next overseas buyer. After that? The kids will figure it out.” While younger Canadians face skyrocketing rents, stagnant wages and fierce competition for entry-level jobs, seniors largely remain supportive of high immigration levels. Many plan to use rising home equity to fund extended winters in warmer climates like Florida or Europe. The poll arrives amid growing national debate over whether Canada’s immigration targets align with infrastructure capacity. Yet for this demographic, the benefits appear to outweigh the strains — at least until the “For Sale” sign goes up. CBC News Poll • April 2026

@MarkJCarney SNC is back on the job huh?

Les travaux de creusement des tunnels ont officiellement commencé sur la nouvelle ligne Ontario à Toronto. Plus de lignes de métro signifie des trajets plus rapides et plus fiables, et nous investissons plus de 4 milliards de dollars pour faire avancer ce projet rapidement.

@MarkJCarney @CFrechette Who?

Premier @CFrechette and I are focused on building a stronger economy. Working together, we’ll create more stability, prosperity, and opportunities for all Québecers.
