1/2 For all the anchors who are being verbally attacked for the questions they ask, in my experience, it’s generally because interviewees can’t or don’t want to answer. Always remember this…

- A lot of people are applauding , praising @JustinTrudeau including people who previously disliked him or worse (as pointed out in the editorial below). I've asked people why they hated him so much, and the answers were often vague or downright false (not smart, communist
- I’m shocked that some Premiers don’t realize how bad it sounds to the public when they say they want healthcare money with no strings attached. If I screwed up a project and asked for more money to save it, would you give me the money w/ no strings attached? #cdnpoli
- Look, a lot of people may not have much in way of power in this country, but we all have a vote. A lot of people here wanted to remove the PM without an election, and they want to silence the media. I don't think they know what kind of a country we would be if they had their way.
- FWIW One thing I notice about @JustinTrudeau, is despite the vitriol he faces, he never returns it. His critique of @PierrePoilievre is based on policies and fair disagreement. His reflection on @cafreeland despite her sudden resignation and critique of his policies (which
- Well. It's official. I just wanted to let you know, I am leaving CBC News later this month. I will have more to say later, but I am so grateful for my time with @CBCNews . Last day October 26. (missingyoualready)
- Doug Ford to spend 3billion dollars to give everyone a couple of hundred bucks. Can Ontario please elect someone with some vision and financial skills?
- This needs context. No one on CBC TV -but Rosemary Barton or perhaps David Cochran if she’s not available, -is allowed to interview political leaders. Not even Adrienne Arsenault is permitted. It is CBC News policy to protect the political journalists brands. It’s been like thatFormer CBC host says the network didn’t allow him to interview Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre “I was told to keep quiet, not rock the boat”
00:00 - A lot of people seem to be under the impression that Stephen Harper was great steward of Canada’s economy. But the fact is, he took a huge inherited surplus, made a huge blunder and left the country economically vulnerable . @barriemckenna predicted the outcome nearly 10 years
- PM Mark Carney has met almost everyone of Trump's arguments against Canada with action. Fentanyl issues? Check. Digital tax? Check. Removing counter tarriffs? Check. And still, Trump comes back with another reason to be punitive. So, PM Carney has tested the limits of Trump's
- I get why Opposition Leader @PierrePoilievre wants @MarkJCarney to reveal his holdings publicly now. The request itself is enough to potentially do damage by making people suspicious, which fits with their "sneaky" narrative. The media argues that the more the public knows
- This is an example of disinformation : the program in question was announced only this past April (2024) to start in the new school year. I can see why news media might be a thorn in this man’s side. When you can catch him out by checking the facts at online news sites then,Trudeau's school lunch program costs millions but hasn't fed a single meal. Its purpose is to feed more Liberal bureaucracy and CBC headlines, instead of hungry kids. Justin Trudeau is not worth the cost.
- This doctor is defending herself from attacks by #cpc leader @PierrePoilievre who is calling her a radical liar who’s in the pocket of Trudeau. Conservatives want her to testify again. She says bring it on. We could get a really good insight into what’s really going on here inThe federal Conservatives are calling for a London doctor's medical licence to be revoked and have accused her of lying about safer opioid supply. @RandyRatLFPress has more: tinyurl.com/3cywa92a #ldnont
- Why is no country in the Middle East opening their doors to Palestinian refugees, like Poland and so many others did with Ukraine? In that case people took them into their homes, hotels, shelters, food etc. But neighbours in ME are actively abandoning them shutting borders. Why ?
