@howardanglin The EU heavyweights -- UK, France, Germany, Italy -- are economic basket cases living on fumes from past glories. They have now have no energy and are deindustrializing. Carney is delusional.

Davos brain. This is what happens when you spend too much time in 5* hotels talking to EU elites: you don’t notice you’re on a moribund continent that can only regulate because it no longer innovates. And he must be aware of how hostile a European-led world order would be to Canada’s most valuable export, because he spent years in Europe helping design the rules to kill Canada’s energy market.

@IngrahamAngle Europe would be much better ally for Canada than the dystopian mass-shooting Hunger Games hell hole known as the United States, populated by morbidly obese, gun toting, illiterate morons, IMHO.

Apparently Canada intends to become a province of Europe.

@commie_trucker You ignorance is breath taking. "Communist" China is hardly lazy. It's "996" culture is 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., 6 days a week --prevalent in tech firms.

I’ve worked 50-60 hours a week for the last 20 years in order to support my family, while my employers have gotten rich off my labor. Yet I’m lazy and entitled and my bosses are entrepreneurial and hardworking.

@ShamjiAdil A philistine who once bragged that he was proud that he wouldn't recognize Margaret Atwood -- Canada's world renowned writer/intellectual -- if he bumped into on the street.

Man who gutted student assistance and raised financial burden on post-secondary students in Ontario accepts free degree without blushing. The irony. #onpoli

@JulieSDixon It's a "blind trust", moron. That means Carney has no involvement in or influence over Brookfield decisions.

what a waste of oxygen this pipsqueak is ...

@sarobertsonca Oh puhleeze!! 99% of Canadians don 't care or don't know what "in camera" means. Panel of irrelevant geezers debatess the equivalent of how many angels on the head of a pin. Media badly needs some new faces.

Althia Raj on the Spring Economic Update: "Where they have chosen to spend money is basically where Pierre Poilievre has gone courting votes ... you can see a consistent effort to court the male vote."

@sarobertsonca Oh puhleeze!! 99% of Canadians don't care or have no idea what "in camera" means. Panel of irrelevant geezers debating the equivalent of how many angels on the head of a pin. Time for some new media mugs.

Chantal Hébert on Liberals moving to go in camera in four committees: "Of all of the things you can think that were smart to do this week, getting a majority and using it to do this is probably one of the dumbest moves that one has seen in a long long time."

@harrisonlowman @TaraRHenley The real issue is that five huge corps control over 80% of what Canadians read, watch: Bell, Rogers, Corus, Postmedia, and Torstar. The billionaire class that hires journos is not interested in "objectivity".

Super chuffed that my colleague, dear friend, and former boss @TaraRHenley will soon be coming out with a book on media, turning up the sanity-o-meter dial in this industry by a few points. The book is called "Trust Spiral: Why the media needs objectivity". I hope every journalism student in this country reads it, instead of some of the books they're currently being assigned by their profs. "Henley argues that the media's alarmed response to Donald Trump's first election—abandoning long-held standards of objectivity and rigorous reporting—set off a downward cycle that continues to erode public trust today. The roots of the problem run deeper still: an industry weakened by economic precarity, a generation of journalists never properly trained in the fundamentals, and newsrooms increasingly oriented around ideology rather than public service. Henley's prescription is as direct as her diagnosis. Restoring trust requires honest accountability for coverage failures, a public recommitment to objectivity, and a fundamental reorientation of journalism around the people it is meant to serve, including a long-overdue reckoning with condescending attitudes toward working-class audiences."

@DrJacobsRad Stats are easily manipulated. Holding a placard with the words or shouting "Free Palestine: is not antisemitism. But it is counted as such.

Here's some chilling perspective. When I attend meetings to discuss antisemitism in Canada, I'm only given the location hours in advance. Why? Because antisemitism is so out of control in Canada that publishing a meeting location far in advance is too great a security risk.

@JJ_McCullough The whole world knows Trump is a repugnant sociopath with malignant narcissism syndrome, one symptom of which is displays of sadism. Any defence of this 21st century Caligula says more about you than his critics.

This is a shockingly virulent screed against the United States, published in Canada’s self-proclaimed leading national newspaper, written by two elite academics. Unhinged anti-Americanism is a seriously toxic, destructive force in Canada that needs to face more resistance.

@bruce_arthur Coyne also brazenly, still, waves the flag of Israel on his Twitter and other sites as an unapologetic supporter of the Israel/U.S. genocide in Gaza. Way past time some of Coyne's cognoscenti buds called him out for what he is.

@jim10926 That’s not hypocrisy, papers contain various perspectives

This was so brutally predictable.

@bruce_arthur Coyne has been pro invasions of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yugoslavia, Venezuela, Gaza U.S.. all the U.S. imperial interventions. He's vilified the "Iranian regime". Disingenuous now to criticize Trump.

@acoyne A mess? Hypocrisy. You and your newspaper wrote that you agree with the illegal invasion of Iran. Illegal under U.S. constitution and international law. Now that it has backfired u switch sides. Typical Coyne column.

Just an utter and unmitigated disaster. He has got himself into a mess, has no clue what to do, and wants the rest of the world to bail him out. The sum total of the effort: not only $25 billion in costs and a depleted US missile arsenal, but the loss of US credibility and an Iranian regime that is more radical than ever, more entrenched than ever, and in some ways more powerful than ever, having possession of not just all of their nuclear material, but also the Strait of Hormuz. Hard to think of a more complete catastrophe. theglobeandmail.com/business/inter… theglobeandmail.com/world/article-…

@Garnet_2203 The plastic-surgeon-enabled Mar-a-Lago faces. Sick. They've been surgeried into looking like identical triplets. Body Dysmorphic Disorder on display.

@MarczakPete @SuburbanPolly Sorry, but the Cons brain trust should listen to what PP is saying: a daily stream of ad hominem and grade school personality attacks. Canadians disdain it. That's why Carney, for all his faults, is ahead and gaining.

@jim10926 @SuburbanPolly Listen to what he's saying. Each of those points is valid and true.

Pissant Pierre drones on and on every day, repeating the same tired, old lines. Even the Speaker knows Pierre’s time is up. #TimesUp #BrokenRecord #ResignPP

@JJ_McCullough She's a hypocrite. U mean backroom deals like when Poilievre is democratically voted out of office, then offers a sitting MP, Damien Kurek, a high-paying job with a Cons lobbying firm to resign, so PP can run again?

I do not think the Liberal Party should be engaged in an ongoing backroom conspiracy to undo the stated partisan preferences of voters, or indeed elected politicians themselves. And I think the press should start reporting on this as an organized conspiracy, not fun Ottawa drama.

@MarczakPete @SuburbanPolly Uhmm, no one likes to be lectured by a pompous twit who took 10 years to get an on-line BA and has never had a job outside of govt. Toss in the puerile, petulant personality -- and derision make perfect sense.

@SuburbanPolly Is this a woman thing? Do you feel like he's mansplaining to you? Is this why there are so many liberals who are against PP? Instead of dwelling on the mansplaining, focus on the point he's making: nothing has changed. It’s only gotten worse in 11 years. Then vote conservative.

@johangreg She's ahypocrite. U mean backroom deals like when Poilievre is democratically voted out of office, then offers a sitting MP, Damien Kurek, a high-paying job with a Cons lobbying firm to resign, so PP can run again?

Canadians do not vote for any governments Kelly. As an MP you should probably know this. And nobody believes you.

@OrbitStudios She's ahypocrite. U mean backroom deals like when Poilievre is democratically voted out of office, then offers a sitting MP, Damien Kurek, a high-paying job with a Cons lobbying firm to resign, so PP can run again?

Spoken like a one-term MP.
