As a Canadian stopped watching CBC in 2008. Youngest child of eight with a divorced mom,I have always had a fine BS detector. Being hard of hearing helped me discern people through their actions, not their proclamations. By his reaction to twice, actually now thrice heckled about Ghislane, Carney is guilty of something very dark. Voting for Pierre, zero real scandals regardless of the caw, caw, crowing of CBC.
Yes, I think it is interesting, because I am sure CBC reporters not to mention the big shots in the PMO must be searching high and low to find some dirt on Pierre….. so far come up empty. Fingers crossed it stays that way.
Western society is morally rotten and it has been corrupted by capitalism this required rigid controls of personal freedoms, industry, and corporate funding. This is not a promise to make the lives of ordinary people better but temporarily worse. This will be a world of severely constrained choice, less flying, less meat, more inconvenience, and temporarily more poverty. Assets will be stranded, gasoline cars will be unsalable, and inefficient properties will be unrentable. -Book: "Values" Building a Better World for All
I long ago abandoned the CBC Roxanne. There is no ‘journalism’ happening over there. It’s happening right here in your Substack column and on podcasts, like Trish Wood’s. I occasionally do a ‘check-in’ and tune into to radio shows like CBC Ottawa morning. Rarely will you ever hear two sides of an issue. They don’t even hide their bias. It’s shameful. Crazy but not surprising that MSM bias is at the point where it’s impacting the election and the state of democracy in Canada.
It certainly is, and unlike the US we don't have a Fox news or big time podcasters like Joe Rogan and Megyn Kelly to counter that. As Trish has said countless times, if a country doesn't have a working media willing to hold the powers that be in check, it no longer is a democracy. Sadly that is the case in Canada, and nobody seems to have the answer to fix it.
Our country needs a serious course correction... We also need a proper televised debate in English and in French, not moderated by the CBC. Poilievre and Carney hashing it out in both official languages. That would be revealing and I think the choice would be obvious.

Insightful article! It's disgusting to pounce on Mr. Poilievre for innocent encounters, while giving cover to Mr. Carney for what are clearly lies or misdirections. Good for you!
I haven’ read Carneys book. chatGPT says this about that quote…
The quote you mentioned, attributed to Mark Carney from his book Value(s): Building a Better World for All, does not appear in the text and misrepresents his views. Carney critiques certain aspects of capitalism but does not advocate for rigid controls on personal freedoms or predict increased poverty as necessary outcomes.
For a conservative perspective, National Review published a critical review of Carney's book. The reviewer argues that Carney's emphasis on "values" lacks a clear framework for determining which values should guide economic decisions, suggesting that this approach could lead to technocratic overreach. However, the review does not support the fabricated quote in question.
In summary, while Carney's work has been subject to critique from various ideological standpoints, the specific quote you referenced is not found in his book and misrepresents his actual positions.
My apologies Roxanne, my comment was out of context. Sorry about that. I was replying to “TriTorch” who had made a quote from Carney’s book, which I am not sure came from Carney’s book. So I was way out of context. My apologies, I really enjoyed your article today. Thank you.
So the photo of Carney and Maxwell...they were just standing there side by side, not talking to each other, but smiling a friendly smile as if they were small-talking? Didn't ask each other what the other did? Weird. Ultimately, we do not know why they were side by side. But usually there is a "who's who" going on at any event where people gather, exclusive or not. Guilt by association is real. I hope for Mark Carney's sake someone shortly thereafter the photo said, 'Dude, get away from that guy'.
So this was not a meeting of two totally unrelated festival-goers. She was a high-school classmate Carney's wife and her sister.
It was many years after Epstein had been charged, but more than a year before the January 2015 publication of detail of the first of Maxwell's civil suits for her part in child sex trafficking, so it's possible they wouldn't have known about the charges.

Exactly! CBC: Canadian Bullshit Corporation. What a disgrace.
I see I'm not the only one who can't sleep in the dead of the night 😉
I think there are a lot of us losing sleep over the prospect of Carney winning the election.

…. So I think I should read his book.
In never quoted anything from Carney's book.

Yeah, I know, I said that in the article.
