Independent you say?: The Trudeau government named eight news associations and groups that will decide how to dole out its $600-million media bailout package, including News Media Canada, the Association de la presse francophone, the Canadian Association of Journalists and Canada’s largest union representing journalists, Unifor. That last one went over with Conservatives about as well as you might expect—Unifor has been running a stop-Scheer campaign since last November.
National insecurity: Pence will no doubt also want to talk about Canada joining its ban on China’s Huawei telecom technology. Mark Warner, the vice-chair of the U.S. Senate intelligence committee, tried to soften up the Trudeau government for that pitch earlier this week, acknowledging it’s awkward for America to ask one former-national security threat to ban another national security threat: “The hurt, angst and rightful indignation that that designation created was a real, real problem.
Trash talk: Speaking of national security threats, it looks like Canada’s war with the Philippines has been averted. Hours after Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte ordered up a ship to haul 69 containers of rotting Canadian waste back to Canada and dump it in Canadian waters, Environment Minister Catherine McKenna said Ottawa signed a contract with a shipping company to bring the garbage back to Canada.
Maclean’s, he isn’t taking an anti-Trudeau show on the road. He is for-filling his promise to Albertans that he will fight for us. We paid a crushing carbon tax for 3 years, was supposed to be a pipeline licence, we got nothing. MSM gets angry when people are helped, that’s awful
This should be the easiest show to put together. This gov't has been an abject failure!

That old Liberal story: the 'hidden agenda' - Macleans.caAndrew MacDougall: Why are Liberals tweeting and petitioning and fundraising about access to abortion, which is not under threat in Canada? They're in panic mode. Or maybe because American States are passing radical laws supported by religious fundamentalist PC MPP’s here in Ontario. Seriously Maclean’s,. Get your journalistic shit together. With respect AGMacDougall, it’s trending that way in the US, and the party leading in the polls here supports an anti choice position. This is demonstrably true. Words saying “the debate won’t reopen” is a far cry from supporting choice from a party using US RW tactics. cdnpoli Has MacDougall got his head buried in CPC Propaganda or just ordinary BS? The Risk is Very great! Look to US, esp Alabama. In Canada CPC & PC MPs are attending Anti-Abortion Rallies. Fed CPC win + 7 PC provinces & Constitution can be opened & Charter Rights removed! cdnpoli
