⛪️ Dear Pastor Carmichael,

It is time to address the dust bunnies beneath your lectern.

Carney has handled with positively nasty journos from the UK, and has had tons of media training. He know how to deal with these attempts with aplomb

“I’m sorry but you can’t believe everything you read in the Globe and Mail,” Carney said.

He adds,after dismissing claims about a meeting, “check your sources before you write things like that”

Another BOOM SHAKALAKA 💥 moment from Mr. Carney😅

In Canada, I’m a leader who has built businesses, represented others in court, and now serve the public.

This can only happen here.

DOGE claims to have saved $115 billion, but we can confirm this figure is overstated by 77.3%, meaning the actual savings amount to only $26.05 billion. To verify this, we had to rely on internal connections, as Musk has obscured details of these claims on DOGE despite promises of transparency.
