Attendee of the Governor General's 'online abuse' symposium criticises those concerned about the vice-regal looking partisan because they weren't at the event.

But everyone is left speculating because attendees and the Governor General refuse to release the symposium's footage!

The PM implicitly encouraged regular Canadians to borrow 'cheap' money when rates were low.

Many did and bought additional residential properties as investments.

Now these middle-class Canadians are punished with higher capital gains clawbacks after following the PM's lead.

Giving CBC $42 million that we don't have, while families struggle to buy food, is the most offensive budget line item.

The Libs could've required CBC cut its budget, while Canadians cut back on grocery spending, but instead gave more money to their pals.

The Governor General's symposium on 'online abuse', hosted at her official residence, is a national scandal and ought to result in her immediate resignation.

Another prominent American commentator, Jesse Singal, criticises CBC's shoddy reporting today on paediatric gender medicine.

Here you have mentally ill Hamas supporters barricading themselves inside of Scotiabank next to McGill University this morning. They are also screaming outside of the library building, where students are trying to study. Montreal police just standing there doing nothing.

Osgoode Hall law prof: antisemitic dictatorship launches a 'masterful response' attack on Israel, a mere 'performative fireworks show' meaning that an Israeli response is 'not warranted'.

If Israel's air defences didn't work, this 'fireworks show' would have killed thousands.

And here we have prominent American science journalist Benjamin Ryan calling out CBC for making false claims and ignoring certain studies about paediatric gender medicine.

Remind us why the Canadian public pays over $1 billion yearly in borrowed money to subsidise this service?

So Toronto has removed 1 lane in each direction on an important highway heading downtown until 2027.

- Construction occurs 16 hours daily (but not overnight)
- Lanes miraculously reopen when Toronto wastes public money hosting 2026 World Cup games

Utter managerial incompetence.

Not one hospital bed here could be found so an Ontarian hospitalised with paralysis while abroad, whose private insurer will pay for his return, could be repatriated.

This is crazy. The King's representative hosted an advocacy symposium at her official residence about 'online abuse' just after the Liberals introduced a bill to restrict speech to protect against 'online harms'.

The Governor General must be above politics and not wade into it.
