To be honest, some questions (not all) that are asked from like The Rebel I believe are legitimate questions meant to be asked to hold our elected representatives accountable, which is a good thing, especially when it comes to tax dollars being spent. It’s just that The Rebel is a far right outlet that automatically any question from them gets dismissed, which I don’t think is fair.
I was actually referring to the question about Mark Carney "Wasting taxpayers money, by flying to Europe, and Northern Canada, and is he going to repay the estimated $500,000 it cost?"

That is just disrespectful, and ridiculous question to ask him. Not only that, but the "reporter" kept trying to interrupt Carney. In spite of this, Carney was clear and concise with his reply, stating that due to the situation that is unfolding, Canadians have to form new alliances, and increase trade with other countries, and to find ways of extracting critical minerals, to provide for makets other than the United States .

I mean what does the Western Reporter expect? If the Government could not spend any tax money, nothing would ever get done.

So conspiracy theories about a Venezuelan refugee, who has spent countless hours fighting for the freedom of Venezuelan people.

What a bitch.

It was nice watching her address the conservatives flag day audience in Español and français and English.

Fingers crossed she never becomes the PM wife - I can only imagine the crap we will be exposed to.

When did espanol become an official language? Perhaps she could learn an indigenous one...

You're actually a Liberal guy complaining about multiple languages being spoken at a political event in Canada?

How is that even possible?

I'm actually pointing out the hyprocisy of Conservatives... if it were another political party or another language chinese, punjabi, arabic or espanol... cue the cons that would be outraged - but Pierre's Jenni Byrne replacement gets a pass.

Poilievre has literally spoken Punjabi at political events. You honestly have no clue.

Yup, a kind, intelligent, trilingual woman, who speaks out about corruption and dictatorships.

What a horrible person.

What is your take on why PP refuses to get the security clearance all other leaders have?

Sounds like a ripe spot for conspiracy theorists.

These guys are Peewee coaches trying to tell NHL players what to do.

Funny Carney is talking like a CEO, which is exactly what CPC supporters claim they want.
Canada may be the only country where required travel by the leader is criticized to the dollar amount (*GOTCHA!* "journalism") and the leader's residence, 24 Sussex, can't even be in proper condition because Canadians complain about the cost to fix it
(Margaret Trudeau said it was in disrepair decades ago )

It's easy to forget where a country of 41,000,000+ when we sound like a small parochial nation, hyper focused on largely irrelevant minutiae compared to running Canada and major problems we are faced with overall.

No doubt. $500k to fly around is nothing.

Unfunded liabilities of abandoned oil wells in Alberta is something we should be FAR more concerned about, if taxpayer money is a concern.

Actually I do... Pierre does these events and at the same time pushes our values, our home, our freedoms - which we know what he is referring to.

When he was speaking arabic or punjabi was he also peddling his barbaric cultural practices snitch line?

I suspect that smart Liberals with any power in the party will want to stay away from doing this.

They don't want too much attention on Mark Carney's wife or kids, either. (Not that there is anything wrong with them - but there is some stuff there that nitpickers could focus on.)

I don't think the "his wife is a secret Venezuelan intelligence agent" rumours have actually hurt him though. I think most people realize how ludicrous that is on face value.

The biggest downside is that it prevents him from going after Carney's unwillingness to disclose his assets without being faced with an easy retort.

Probably reading lines from Mein Kampf.

I don't have an opinion on Pierre Poilievre's wife but I do think Spanish is important for Canada. We should be pushing for strong ties with Latin America and a bilateral trade relationship with Mexico that is not mediated by the USA.

Latin America has potential complementary trading partners that produce things we don't.
