It's hard to figure out whether they're using ICE to deflect from Epstein or vis-a-versa. Perhaps a revolving door strategy.

You're Mark Carney & get standing ovation at Davos & then come home & confuse what happened at the plains of Abraham. Sad moment. Good news for him is most Canadians don't know what the Plains of Abraham means.

Glad to see David Cochrane apologising for his interview with the Iranian Canadian Congress. It was shocking & I turned it off. Good on ya David for publicly acknowledging the error. I would suggest your producers do the same.

PMs don't usually get a bump from being abroad but I think Carney will get a bump from being at PP's most hated supper club.

Sometimes "I agree in principle" translated to Canadian English is "no, yeah, no."
For folks saying Carney has insisted that he won't pay, that's a) not being reported and
b) missing the point.
Carney is trying to frame the "board" as a platform for humanitarian action, but it's transparently not that at all.

Guys, I'm happy to stipulate that the Poilievre Conservatives are the worst choice. I voted Liberal in 2025 to avoid them too. But the threat of an immoral government doesn't mean having an amoral one is a good thing.
