Its so weird how all the hit pieces on Poilievre i was seeing on my feeds have dried up. There is some industrial strength psyops happening with the set up of the CUSMA failure. Im trying not to be conspiratorial in my thinking but I can't help thinking I am seeing a very purposeful destruction of Canada, but to what end?

Look at Carney’s history starting with Goldman Sacks. This article spells it out nicely.

Carney doesnt want a deal with the US, it has been made clear for 8 months that its not the US contingent that are difficult, its the Canadians.

As for Doug's plane, he doesnt need one and at a time with record lineups at food banks, its a moronic time to do something like that.

For Carney, all roads lead to China via Brookfield and Canadians money. His ego loves this fight with Trump. Carney will chose to win even if every Canadian drowns in debt. As we saw with Trudeau ideology is everything and Canada isn't big enough for Carneys ego.

I don't see much of a future for Canada, but I hope Alberta gets out so there is at least a remnant of the true north.

Pierre is the lighthouse in the storm. Its what we need to make canada prosperous.

No cusma deal, at first i did think it was trump, but its carney that doesn't want one..jmo then what? Mexico is doing great. Picking up our share i guess.

Agree on the plane . Numbers don't lie.. time is money.. we pay politicians to wait around in airports.. some like it..but busy people don't. Ford is one.

Good article

Media will hold Pollievre accountable while letting Carney skate. Saw they are already framing high inflation numbers as out of our control because of Iran. Does the war play a part - sure, but the liberal policies have led us there

A political expert type once told me “ optics” counts in politics.

Yup. It was you.

Buy a used plane ? I can live with that. Do the math ? Charters may be more economical.

Regardless.

Optics killed this deal.

Anyone who things Trump and his advisors are just winging it need to read this. All 534 pages.

This is just a negotiation and it is not personal and Carney knows he has no cards to play so he is taking advantage of the ludicrous TDS that is rampant among the mad cow addled liberal baby boomer elbows up crowd.

If the facts support purchasing a $29m aircraft, then it is equally clear that Ford bases his decisions on votes and not on facts, practicality, or truths?

Phone calls.

He responds to all the people that call and text him.

Randy's avatar

Understood, thank you for the clarification. Are the callers not voters? Have the phone calls outweighed the facts supporting the practicality of having an aircraft? For what it is worth I believe all provincial governments need and should have an aircraft. WRT to Ford’s choice…I question the one his people picked…other than it is Canadian? My position is he should have spent some political capital and perhaps just downsized his choice? He did after all publicly state recently, that he is on solid ground in the polls (or something similar).

An interesting article on what could be the snake Carney's plan for what's left of this Country.

if Carney was actually the master negotiator, he told everyone he was he would already have a deal for Canada and it would be a good deal. He should have been able to negotiate a deal with any American president. Instead, he has run with his tail between his legs. He clearly oversold his skill set. And I have to say that that video was absolutely cringe. Not sure what he was trying to get across there, but my hackles went up on the back of my neck.

Owning a plane is a lot more than purchase price. Charters avoid the headache of ownership & maintenance etc etc etc.

T Bloski's avatar

What did Ford buy the plane for? What's the purpose?

Brian Lilley's avatar

Read the column or watch the video it is all explained and it's not like it is his personal plane just for his use.

Martin Dixon's avatar

Have not been a fan of a lot of Ford’s recent antics but the plane decision was a no brainer.

Quebec's premier has access to a fleet of three brand new challenger jets, not a 10 year-old plane like Ford bought.

Manitoba, Alberta and Sask have also all had planes for the premiers and ministers. Most US state governors have access to such planes.

Argue in facts, not emotions and don't buy the idea that this was Ford's personal jet. It's not like he's taking it with him when he leaves.

John Powell's avatar

Agree. But still. Optics. Speaking of which does anyone in the liberal party fantastic think that Carneys video was :

A good idea?

Well produced?

Reflects Canadian’s thoughts ?

X all

Brian Lilley's avatar

The media is loving Carney's video.

John Powell's avatar

PS Yahoo News posted your “Lilley unleashed” video on the subject.

Faint hope for MSM or is Yahoo just that?

Brian Lilley's avatar

There is some sort of deal between the Toronto Sun and Yahoo. Not sure on the details but much of my work shows up there.
