Well, it is a waste of O2. Oddly enough I even feel a little sorry for her getting thrown under the bus just because the message she is forced to regurgitate is out of touch with reality. All she ever really wanted is to be famous and have a solid gold pension.
Two years into the Trudeau 2.0 Minority Term, which day will Justin call the election that only he wants?

LEDREW: Dear Justin Trudeau, please stay in office until the 2025 election — Toronto Sun
I urge you to stay so you can’t blame the defeat on the lack of Liberal Party support or on the faults of your successor
Last December, the CBC said it planned to cut 600 jobs, eliminate 200 vacancies and slash $40 million from its production budget to help mitigate a projected $125-million shortfall. This despite the Liberals handing over $1.38-billion to the public broadcaster in 2024-25 (which is a significant uptick from the $1.29 billion the CBC got for 2023-24).
1,194 eligible employees working for the public broadcaster would receive bonuses in a year when 141 employees were laid off and 205 vacant positions were eliminated.
On Monday, the Canadian Press reported that bonuses will be paid despite members of Parliament saying it would be inappropriate to do so after hundreds of jobs were eliminated.
“The board and the senior executive team acknowledge the views expressed by some that performance pay should not be awarded at CBC/Radio-Canada in times of financial pressures and associated workforce reductions,” the board said in a letter dated June 25.
In response, the board, which would not comment on how much money was being paid to the 1,194 eligible employees, said it would be assessing future compensation arrangements.
“This review will be conducted by a third-party human resources consulting firm, and recommendations to the board will be shared with the public,” the board promised.
But CBC/Radio-Canada president and CEO Catherine Tait, whose annual compensation ranges between $472,900 and $623,900, cried poor saying the public broadcaster was woefully underfunded, even though it shelled out $14.9 million in bonuses in 2022-23.
Last year, data from the non-profit Angus Reid Institute indicated that one-third of Canadians want to see the CBC’s funding cut off.
'I can’t wait to defund the CBC': Pierre Poilievre doubles down on plan to axe CBC after board approves bonuses — Toronto Sun
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has renewed his pledge to “defund the CBC” after the board of directors for CBC and Radio-Canada has approved bonuses for some staff for work they did in the most recent fiscal year. The move, which was confirmed Monday, came amid outcry that 1,194 eligible...
They should not get bonuses period . Perhaps if they were run at a profit they might be more appropriate . Other wise it is simply a salary raise in disguise.Last December, the CBC said it planned to cut 600 jobs, eliminate 200 vacancies and slash $40 million from its production budget to help mitigate a projected $125-million shortfall. This despite the Liberals handing over $1.38-billion to the public broadcaster in 2024-25 (which is a significant uptick from the $1.29 billion the CBC got for 2023-24).

If the CBC this year has a projected $125-million shortfall, on top of the $1,380,000,000.00 given to it by the government regardless of advertising dollars…doesn’t that really equate to a $1,505,000,000.00 shortfall?
That would be a one billion, five hundred and five million dollar shortfall if they didn’t already have a huge government handout, so that’s worthy of bonuses to 1,194 employees (which I’m assuming means executives for the most-if not all-part), and thus the CBC/Radio-Canada president and CEO Catherine Tait wants a larger handout from the current government.
It’ll be interesting to see her request not this year but the next one…
$30 billion which could easily double given government ineptness going to public transportation.
Good thing they waited until Bombardier sold the rail division to the French due to lack of support. Guessing the impact on NW Ontario will be less than insignificant given the bus schedule has been cut back.

Federal Labour Minister Seamus O’Regan resigns from Trudeau’s cabinet — The Globe and Mail
He will stay on as MP, allowing the Liberal government to avoid another by-election, but does not plan to run again in 2025
Mr. Trudeau said Mr. O’Regan is stepping down for “family reasons,” but will stay on as an MP.
In a statement posted on social media, Mr. O’Regan said he made the difficult decision to resign from cabinet effective Friday and not seek re-election next year in his Newfoundland and Labrador riding because his family comes first.
“I need to be a better husband, son, uncle, and friend, and this job means, and deserves, a lot of time in order to do it well,” Mr. O’Regan said.
By staying as MP until the next election, the minority Liberal government will avoid another bye-bye-election amid flagging popularity for both the party and the Prime Minister…’cuz they know which way the wind is blowing.
The new Minister of Labour and Seniors will be sworn in at Rideau Hall on Friday, Mr. Trudeau said…& since we were in there tweaking cabinet positions…kinda like when Jody Wilson-Raybould became the not-minister of Justice & the not-attorney General of Canada….In a balancing act of cabinet positions, etc…others may get juggled and…thanks for coming out.
In 2015, the Liberals swept Atlantic Canada in a red wave that helped tipped the election into a majority victory. But the Conservatives have slowly notched their way back and last year opened up a wide lead in public-opinion polling across Atlantic Canada after the federal carbon pricing backstop took effect across the region.
In response, the minority government’s East Coast caucus launched a lobby campaign for changes to the climate-change policies and the federal government agreed to a three-year carveout for home heating oil and an expanded heat pump rebate program, etc…
Despite the Liberals recently narrowing the gap with the Conservatives out East, Liberal MPs on the ground are concerned about their prospects in the next general election – a fear that was only heightened by the Liberal by-election loss in their Toronto fortress last month.
Mr. O’Regan’s announcement makes him the third out of six MPs in Newfoundland and Labrador who are not seeking re-election in the 2025 election, and several Liberals on Thursday said they expected more such announcements.
It ain't just conservatives. I watched her facing off against Vassy Kapelos the other night about the capital gains tax increase. All it proved was Freeland was WAY out of her element. It got so bad Freeland's handlers decided to "whisk" her out of there. She couldn't really explain the economic/financial impact it would have. Just kept going on about "tax fairness" failing to comprehend (or care) this will also be another hit to the middle-class.
Can't really talk about tax fairness either while the carbon tax is also kicking the shit out of the lower class.
I wouldn't know. I live in a country where a firefighter's widow pays a higher rate of tax on his salary for the week he died than people like convicted felon Trump pay on the proceeds of the trust fund Daddy left them.
I live in a country where all the leftard 1%ers in govt keep blithering on about taxing the rich and tax fairness.
You do not! I do!
Yet somehow it never happens.
I've said this before. "In any tax code over 10 pages long, the excess overwhelmingly favors the rich."
The U.S. Tax Code comes in at right about 4000 pages.
A-HOLE
raising the further risk, never has 29rked, but Leftards cannot understand why.
The rich just move thiier money out of the country.
Thy very seldom move it back.
Comissar JT andhis mindless gang of wreckers have driven old and new money 8n all versions out of Canada.
I am hopeful re. Poilievre, but it will take many election cycles to get us on a staple and prosperous path.
OTTAWA — Newly sworn-in Labour and Seniors Minister Steven MacKinnon is confident that the Liberals can bounce back from their poor showing in the polls for the past year by drawing a sharper contrast with Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s policies??? Seriously?
MacKinnon, MP for Gatineau, Que., took on his new role on Friday, replacing Seamus O’Regan, who announced Thursday he was leaving Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet, citing personal reasons.As MacKinnon faced reporters on the steps of Rideau Hall Friday morning, his welcome was a flurry of questions about the calls for change from several Liberals and what, if anything, Trudeau’s office should do about it.
His answers seemed to indicate that he thinks the government should change nothing.
“We are resolved to continue the work and continue on the path that we have set for Canadians,” he said?? Oh goody…
I’m sure this has absolutely nothing to do with the Liberals potentially being decimated in Atlantic Canada, potentially having a hope of holding some seats in Quebec, but that’s a different story…
MacKinnon rejected the suggestion that Canadians are rejecting the Liberals’ programs in a “harsh way” and insisted that the government is “very confident” in the policies it has set.
“We’re also very confident that the contrast between our policies and the policies of our opponents is one that we will continue to make, and one that Canadians, I think, will bring into sharper relief as the year goes on,” he said. God, let’s hope so…
Newly appointed minister Steve MacKinnon says Liberals can bounce back without change
“I've seen things go up. I've seen things go down... What we assume to be true today will not necessarily be true tomorrow,” said MacKinnon.
“In politics there are always going to be ups and downs,” said Trudeau during a party meeting. “Sometimes you’re up and sometimes you’re consistently down to ‘Conservatives are about to win a super majority’ territory in every poll for nearly 3 years.”
“You can’t let it get to you. And you certainly can’t do anything differently to change it.”
The Liberals have been down in the pollsagainst the Tories since April 2022. But Trudeau backers are quick to point out that polls fluctuate all the time in politics, and that any day now a poll could come out showing them 18 points up instead of down.
“You can’t just trust the polls. There are so many other things to look at to gauge support like by-elections, fundraising and attendance at campaign rallies. And sure the Conservatives are beating us at those things as well, but…you know. They exist too!” said Katie Telford.
Trudeau assures Liberals they just need to ride out this 28 month polling dip
OTTAWA – Facing pressure to step aside, beleaguered Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has encouraged his party’s MPs to hold and see if they can just wait out their current 2 plus years of bad poll numbers. “In politics there are always going to be ups and downs,” said Trudeau during a party...
