So far, the Liberal playbook has been predictable. Announce first. Re-announce later. Hope no one notices the lack of results.
Here’s John Weissenberger: “Carney’s government appears to be confused about the difference between memoranda of understanding (MOUs), by definition representing the ‘early stages of negotiations,’ and actual binding agreements.
“The prime minister and his cabinet have burned a lot of jet fuel accumulating economic or trade MOUs, with ‘agreements to negotiate’ at a future date.”
Mark Carney needs to adopt the mindset of ambition, of a major power, not one trapped in middling decline.

@Nancyfrom613 @StuntmanStu Sure. Im just saying we dont have the whole story yet. Let the Police do their work, and let's not set unrealistic expectations.

@MHaarbosch @StuntmanStu I’m a crossing guard, and I approve this sentence!

@CPAC_TV Dont we have bigger issues to deal with? Maybe he's out of touch given he's too arrogant to show up for question period.

PM Carney, speaking ahead of Liberal caucus meeting, comments on the plane collision at LaGuardia airport that resulted in the death of two pilots. He also comments on Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau only releasing a condolence message in English after the crash.

I am deeply upset at the lack of respect for life Senator Lindsey Graham is displaying when talking about our troops. He is acting as if they are expendable cattle. This is unacceptable and dark. There were over 26,000 American casualties at Iwo Jima.

Mark Carney's record after one year as Prime Minister:
- highest food inflation in G7
- economy shrinking
- doubled the deficit
- no US trade deal
- no new pipelines approved
- immigration isn't fixed
- crime & chaos on our streets
@MarkJCarney is an objective failure! ❌️

Much of the media is celebrating the first anniversary of Mark Carney as Prime Minister, suggesting his first year in office has delivered significant progress. The data, however, tells a more complicated story.
Canada currently posts the highest food inflation rate among G7 countries.
The overall unemployment rate has remained largely unchanged, while youth unemployment continues to climb.
The national deficit has nearly doubled.
Interprovincial trade barriers—despite a commitment to eliminate them by July 1, 2025—remain firmly in place.
Our tariff situation with the United States has deteriorated compared with when he took office. Meanwhile, several of the transformational projects announced months ago have yet to receive formal approval.
Either there is something I’m missing, or parts of the media narrative surrounding the first year of Prime Minister Carney’s mandate are significantly disconnected from the underlying economic indicators.

Sylvain isn't missing anything
The media broke partisanship and cheered on his campaign, got him elected and have chosen to go down with that ship that Carney steered directly towards the iceberg
Carney didn't come to fix the crisis, he is letting it ride and is creating a few more
The platform he got elected on was a bill of goods and a year later his paid media are glossing over his failures
Media can chuckle amongst themselves while the deluded masses cling to the fantasy... but reality will sink in as it all gets worse. And blaming Trump for Canada's self created woes will only go so far

Happy anniversary, Mr. Carney....
After one year of Liberal leadership, Canadians are left with higher food prices, rising violent crime, fewer homes being built, and a broken immigration system.
While Canadians struggle to get ahead, this government continues down the same failed path.
Canada deserves better.

Happy 1st anniversary, Mark Carney!
-Deficit doubled
-Highest food inflation in the G7
-2nd highest unemployment in the G7
-No pipelines approved
-Homebuilding dropping 15%
-Immigration system still broken
-Violent crime skyrocketing in our major cities
A year later, illusion meets reality. Congratulations, sir, you’re just another Liberal.

@bkingston @cbcwatcher @althiaraj Same old story. Take away the flashy announcements and what's left? What's been achieved in the last year? #highercosts

The federal EV mandate remains in place over 5 weeks after the government announced in the the auto strategy that it would be scrapped.
Spoke with @althiaraj on the need for government to bridge the gap between press releases and implementation.

BREAKING: Statistics Canada data shows we lost 84,000 jobs in February, most of them from the private sector.
Mark Carney has delivered the only shrinking economy and the worst food inflation among G7 countries.
We must remove this Liberal government’s barriers blocking investment and growth, and fight for tariff-free trade to protect 🇨🇦 jobs and power paycheques.

BREAKING: Ontario’s Information and Piracy Commissioner weighs in on premier Doug Ford changes to the FOI:
“This amendment is about hiding government-related business to evade public accountability.”
On Doug Ford’s use of a private cell phone for gov’t business:
The Government of Ontario is currently seeking leave to appeal a court ruling that unanimously upheld my office's order to produce call logs from the Premier's personal cellphone that relate to government business.
This is to ensure independent examination to determine whether they may be subject to access under the law.
Based on evidence showing that the Premier routinely uses his personal phone to conduct government business, it is likely that they are.
By changing the law retroactively, the government's message is plain: if oversight bodies get in the way, just change the rules.
Full statement:

It’s clear the Government has zero idea who & how many are in our country. Gary here clearly has no idea what’s going on. He is unfit for this position & is lying straight to the camera.
