This is pathetic. Jacques wasn't fired. He didn't "expose" anything. His term expired, and he disqualified himself from the permanent post because he decided he wanted to play for the cameras. But that's why Poilievre wants him on the job, because for him, Parliament is a clip factory.
Pierre Poilievre:
The Prime Minister is firing the interim budget watchdog for telling the truth about his Liberal record of doubling deficits to the highest outside COVID, cooking the books, and breaking his homebuilding promises.

Reinstate the watchdog. Restore accountability: [link]

People keep saying that this goes against the Davis speech. It does not. Carney said the rules based international order was always hypocritical, is now dead, and we live in a time of rupture. I disagree with support but this is not against what he said. The sign is gone. GONE GONE.

So let’s get this straight. If Alberta can’t balance its budget without increasing g taxes and fees while oil prices are high and oil production volume is highest ever, how is this independent Alberta going to be tax free? Reality vs. Fantasy #ForeverCanadian

Some hard truths for provincial separatists: * A province doesn't "belong" to its provincial government. * A province doesn't "belong" to the people who live there. * A province belongs to all of Canada and Indigenous treaty members. * Referendums have no legal status in Canada. #cdnpoli #ableg

Alberta's Smith government erased hundreds of probable measles cases. "The new data show Alberta, not Ontario as previously understood, has the highest case count of any province, despite having a much smaller population" #GiftLink 🧵 #abpoli #ableg www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/90e3098...
The Alberta government rejected expert advice to expand public reporting of measles to include probable cases, despite the measure being supported by local and provincial public health officials, documents obtained by The Globe and Mail show.

Since the outbreak began in Alberta last spring, only confirmed cases of measles have been publicly reported. New data provided through a Freedom of Information request show at least 450 probable cases of measles have also been identified in the province, bringing the total to nearly 2,500.

These numbers provide a more accurate portrayal of a crisis that has gripped Alberta, one of the two provinces at the centre of a countrywide outbreak that lost Canada its long-held measles elimination status last month. The new data show Alberta, not Ontario as previously understood, has the highest case count of any province, despite having a much smaller population. Ontario publicly reports probable cases.
