#Wealthsimple has abandoned its "Get Rich Slow" roots. Partnering with X (whose owner wants to annex Canada) and pushing gambling-style prediction contracts is a dealbreaker. I wanted to support an innovative Canadian brand, but it’s clear they’ve lost their way. Thinking of moving funds, any recos?

A party that abandons its values to gain seats doesn't actually hold those values, it merely performed them when convenient and a majority built by removing the bar on human rights is not a mandate, it is a shameful compromise. @liberalca.bsky.social @mark-carney.bsky.social #cdnpoli #canpoli

The pearl clutching about NYC feels so antiquated…the most conservative city (Calgary) in the most right wing province in Canada (Alberta = our Texas) elected a gay Muslim mayor — not once but THREE times — and he remains a beloved Canadian politician.

It’s not surprising that Smith read the room wrong on this again. That’s what happens when you listen more to Trump supporters than Albertans. And when you’re always acting in your own interests, not Alberta’s or Canada’s.

Rosemary Barton: “It’s very difficult to believe.” Well, then that’s a “you” issue and that’s some pretty personal and heavy torque. Carney has followed the rules to a T with the ethics commissioner. Did she ever put it that way when asking Poilievre about no security clearance?

Journalists have a duty to us, the people, to present fair and balanced reporting. They should not be rude or disrespectful. They should not have an agenda. They should accept the answer, and not call out our leaders for the fun of it. This leads to misinformation. And sound bytes to be abused.

For anyone else who was disturbed by Rosemary Barton's extremely unprofessional tone today, please let your voice be heard. cbchelp.cbc.ca/hc/en-ca/req... I do NOT want that kind of narrative-pushing journalistic-garbage from my news. Feel free to use something similar to what I've said below.
Screenshot of a feedback message. 
"I just watched Rosemary Barton's interview with Mark Carney and I'm shocked and appalled at how your reporter behaved. It truly seemed like Ms Barton was on a biased narrative-driven witch hunt, and it did NOT come off well. This kind of biased journalism is beneath the CBC. Barton's approach today was embarrassing and unacceptable. As a Canadian who relies on the CBC for trustworthy reporting, I expect much better than the same, low-brow politicking that we have come to expect from our neighbours south of us. Please do better."

Barton asking Carney these questions is wildly frustrating. Carney spent many successful years in finance - being wealthy isn’t suspicious; it’s expected. Meanwhile, Poilievre is a career politician worth many millions, I don't see her grilling him with questions. Why the double standard, Rosemary?
