Carney flew to Ankara and signed a statement saying Canada and Turkey share "human rights, individual liberties, democracy and the rule of law." 🤦🏻♂️
8 days earlier, police raided Halk TV, one of the last opposition channels, cut the live feed and put a government trustee in charge.
Erdoğan's main rival, Istanbul's mayor, has been in jail since March 2025.
27 journalists locked up or awaiting trial.
A comedian got almost 19 months for calling Erdoğan a "shy dictator."
Over 100 people arrested in September raids on LGBT groups.
Osman Kavala, 8+ years in prison, despite Europe's own human rights court ordering him freed.
Asked if he raised any of it, Carney said those talks work better "not reported out in detail."
Trade with them if you want. Just don't pretend they share our values.
Values matter, eh? 🇨🇦
Canadians certainly hired a master economist in @MarkJCarney who has managed to drive economic growth to lower levels than our competitors at speeds not seen before.

Listen to the full interview with Sam Cooper...
A sitting prime minister with 100+ conflicts, Canadian banks moving Chinese capital and fentanyl cash, shipbuilding deals near sensitive waters, CSIS warning about targeting First Nations leaders…
...and the official story is still “elbows up against America.”
WTF Carney is actually doing
This is surreal.
They keep telling you Canada is at "war" with America. Investigative journalist Sam Cooper (author of Willful Blindness, founder of The Bureau) says that's exactly backwards — and he has the documents to prove it.
In this episode, Sam breaks down Mark Carney's 100+ undisclosed conflicts of interest, the TD Bank fentanyl money-laundering scandal, China's bond purchases quietly flowing through Canadian banks, the BC Ferries deal with a Chinese shipbuilder near sensitive coastal waters, and why CSIS says Beijing is actively targeting Canadian First Nations leaders.
If you've been told "elbows up" against America, this conversation will change how you see the real hybrid war being fought on Canadian soil.

Trudeau’s Special Rapporteur and personal friend who says there is no foreign interference in Canada receives an honorary doctorate from Nanjing University for his work on establishing Confucius Institutes abroad in 2012.
They were later identified as national security risks.
Only one week before this meeting, David Johnston took an honorary doctorate from the Sec. of the CCP of Nanjing University in recognition of his leadership in setting up the first Confucius Institute at the UW in Canada. All photos have been forbidden.

🇨🇦 PM @MarkJCarney boasting about his enhanced strategic relationship w Turkey. Whatever that means. No time to negotiate w the US but he praises himself for courting an autocratic Islamist who doesn’t know what human rights are. Especially LGBTQ. Carney is a moral void.

I sure hope that the PM performed a land acknowledgment honouring that this mosque was originally a church on the traditional territory of the Greek-speaking Byzantine Empire

Why is Mark Carney pushing higher immigration levels when artificial intelligence is already threatening Canadian jobs?
I received a troubling message from a Canadian bank employee who told me AI is taking over jobs in his sector.
Canadian youth deserve a future with good-paying jobs, not more competition in an already difficult job market.

Every deal Carney does has a Brookfield connection. Where are those investigative journalists we pay so well with our tax $? What a sad joke Canada has become.
THIS is why Carney is in Turkiye.
September 8th 2026 they announced they are accelerating the switch to renewable energy.
Carney wants to get Brookfield in there because it pumps up the net zero BGTF1 fund he set up and pays him 3% carried interest

How can any Liberal MP in their right mind not want to go after the $434.8 million that was wrongly paid out for the Dental Plan. This is taxpayers' hard earned money. The Liberals have no right to not to try to get taxpayer monies back. This is the same as when Ms Joly said it would not be in the best interest of Canadians to recoup the billions "lost" in the Green Energy scandal.
When will the Elbows Up crowd get angry over the loss of tax dollars.
Canada has no values the same as this demagogue authoritarian who helps fund terrorist organizations. What the hell is Carney talking about.
#REPORT: Mark Carney says that Canada and Turkey share the values of "human rights, individual liberties, democracy and the rule of law."
Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has imprisoned more than 2,000 political opponents since 2025, including his main opposition figure.

Congratulations to Mark Carney on record-breaking growth in action verbs.
While Canadians struggle with rising costs, his government is busy trying to “deepen,” “strengthen,” “enhance,” “advance,” “foster,” “facilitate,” “encourage,” “explore” and “support” future cooperation.
Canadians have seen the speeches, summits and verbs.
We need action and results, not verbs, nouns or adjectives.

📄 Summary of Question Period today.
CPC - Food Banks are overwhelmed. 🇨🇦 can't feed themselves.
LPC - The IMF says 🇨🇦 will be the 2nd fastest growing economy in the G7.
CPC - 🇨🇦 can't feed themselves. Support our motion to cut diesel taxes so they can.
LPC - We gave them enough $ for a week's groceries. You voted against it. Dependency on gov't is good.
CPC - 🇨🇦 can't feed themselves...
LPC - The IMF said...
⁉️ How anyone can continue to support the Liberals when they're causing (& have caused) such an obvious decline is beyond me.

Carney said today that Canada being involved in political interference within the U.S. holds no merit.
These two clips of Joly’s suggest otherwise.
