Andrew Coyne spent the last year strangely silent on any warnings of Carney autocracy
But now that Carney has his majority locked in? Suddenly: "This is a government and a prime minister with an autocratic streak a mile wide."
Funny how those dire concerns only appear after the power is safely consolidated. Almost like the real threat was never the "autocracy"... it would be appearing to support any opposition. A Canadian media mob sin

@guyfelicella 1 trillion dollars of investment has been lost.
Carney was Trudeau's chief economic advisor

Canada’s Mark Carney ranked #2 on the TIME 100… right behind the Pope.

But hey… whatever you do, don’t let Pierre Poilievre see this.
Wouldn’t want him finding out what credibility looks like 🤭
English
The reason Poilievre is melting down & constantly trying to convince people that Carney is uneducated is because he successfully did it to Trudeau.
Cons constantly sneer at Trudeau for being a teacher. A job that requires two degrees. When their leader's only job was paperboy.

Alright @RobertFife, I’m respectfully asking you to provide a single, solitary proof point for your claim that the Conservatives are “MAGA”.
Are you able to do that?
Or are you just lying?
English
@CardinalWayne @rupasubramanya I do, because a strong opposition is what make Canada great. Without a strong alternative, then it is just one party rule forever like in Ontario or Alberta. Not good for anyone involved, specially when those leaders are so willing to use nonwithstanding clause
English
A career politician who lost his own seat, lost the election, had an MP clear out a safe riding to parachute him back in, clings to the leadership as the party bleeds support and MPs head for the exits, and still holds forth about meritocracy. Amazing.

A year into Carney's term:
- His $246m Major Projects Office has approved zero projects,
- No progress on an interjurisdictional export pipeline to anywhere,
- Anti-development Liberal laws, like the federal industrial carbon tax and the never-build-anything-anywhere Bill C-69, are still in place.
It's no wonder investors lose hope.
Conservatives will continue to fight to make Canada the fastest place in the world to get a permit and scrap anti-development Liberal laws, to restore investor confidence, so the private sector can build major projects for the benefit of all Canadians.

François Philippe Champagne says it’s disgraceful for people to call them out on conflict of interest relating to the largest infrastructure project in Canadian history

Calling out Corruption is now called disgraceful

@TrendPolCa You're leaving out the fact that Mark Carney was Trudeau's chief economic advisor

@stats_feed And the Liberals are talking about giving you a 500,000 fine if you want to leave the country and work somewhere else

Where are the Carney Liberals on this tariff?
He was supposed to get a deal for Canada last year and fix trade with the U.S.
As our manufacturers face a massive new tariff attack, the Prime Minister hasn’t uttered a single word or lifted a finger to help.
Fight for Canadian workers.

What we're seeing in Canada today is what happens when our elected Government starts running out of other peoples money! Expect worse, much worse!

WTF is Robert Fife talking about?
The closest Conservative MP to this MAGA bogeyman narrative he’s created was Marilyn Gladu.
And she just crossed the floor to the Liberals.
Does he have onset dementia?

@davidakin We also seem to have forgotten that Canada's collective debt is now about to hit 100% GDP.
English
@davidakin You forgot a trillion dollars of lost investment which is ongoing under the liberal government's tenure, and the fact that you can't blame it all on Trudeau because Carney was his chief economic advisor

Peter Lougheed later (and rightly) argued that the notwithstanding clause should only be used where:
- rationale is clearly articulated
- 60% of the legislature votes for it
- a court has already weighed in, i.e. it should never be used pre-emptively
Danielle Smith@ABDanielleSmith
The Notwithstanding Clause is integral to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and an unassailable provincial constitutional right. Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed insisted it be included to protect the autonomy of provinces to uphold the values and priorities of the people they represent from decisions of activist courts. In Alberta, we have used it carefully and lawfully to stand up for the parental right to be involved in their children’s lives, to protect children so they can make important health decisions as adults, to ensure fairness in sport, and to keep students learning in the classroom. We are extremely disappointed that Minister Sean Fraser would risk national unity and a foundational principle of our constitution by attempting to attack the use of the notwithstanding clause by sovereign provincial governments.
