Canada’s Government Owned News Media

Why conspiracy theorists are trying so hard to falsely link Mark Carney and Jeffrey Epstein

If attack ads are any measure, Mark Carney is squarely in the political big leagues.

In the weeks since he entered the Liberal leadership race, ads both for and against him have sprouted across social media. While mudslinging is par for the course in politics, one particularly dark current has worked — without evidence — to tie him to Jeffrey Epstein, the notorious American financier and trafficker of underage girls who, though dead for six years, remains a very current fixation in far-right circles

Not trying at all, in fact it’s pretty darn easy.

Canada’s bought media know no shame.

Let’s begun by debunking the myth – aided and abetted by the liberal media – that Prime Minister Mark Carney killed carbon pricing on Friday through a cabinet decree.

The most egregious example of this was buried in a CBC report on Thursday that Carney was “once a proponent of carbon pricing” implying he no longer is, which is an example of media disinformation of the type CBC is constantly warning us about.

New prime minister Mark Carney didn’t go out of his way to be a champion for women with his cabinet choices unveiled at Rideau Hall on Friday — and that could be a deliberate effort to walk back what critics called the “woke” feminist brand of Justin Trudeau.

It might also be a reflection of how Carney has been leaning on a team heavily weighted with male advisers, as many have observed since his leadership campaign launched.

The Star is already running damage control for Carney.

A similar Conservative cabinet would be described as a new Dark Age descending upon our blighted land.

It’s fortunate for Poilievre the Liberal media continues to overplay its hand with biased reporting.

On Thursday morning, the federal heritage minister, Pascale St-Onge, gave forth the outlines of her plan to reform the CBC and adapt it to the future. You might think such an exercise would involve asking questions about the CBC’s prior performance, or whether a state broadcaster is really necessary in the 21st century, or exactly what parts of it are essential.

The random tweet of a Liberal MP does not, of course, represent Liberal government policy. But when Liberal Whitby MP Ryan Turnbull tweeted it was ‘scary’ that a ‘Poilievre-led government would end subsidies to mainstream media and defund the CBC,’ you can bet he is channeling Liberal water-cooler conversation.
