“It’s all out war, now”
“The PMO is throwing their own DPM under the bus,” said one former senior Liberal. “Invoking Katie’s [Telford] name in doing it. Freeland has fought more battles for this government than anyone—she does not deserve this treatment.”
In a tweet, author Stephen Maher tweeted a page from his new book The Prince that suggested that leaks about Morneau were likely the reason why Carney never joined the Trudeau team.
“Seeing Morneau being treated so shabbily seems to have given Carney pause, and he did not allow himself to be seduced,” wrote Maher. “They spooked him by putting the shiv in Morneau.”
On social media, political insiders and pundits blasted the PMO for making anonymous negative comments, and suggested that Freeland should step down before she’s shuffled out of the portfolio.

Incompetent or Corrupt?
Something very sketchy occurred in Butler, PA.
In Government Incompetence Today…
Blacklocks- ‘No Records’ On $8B Blunder
The Canada Revenue Agency says it has “no records” divulging who made an $8 billion mistake in mismanaging a pandemic relief program, according to Access To Information files.
“Let me be clear, we are not perfect,” testified Hamilton. The Revenue Commissioner said an unidentified government official told the Revenue Agency to process claims, no questions asked.
Blacklocks- “Equality Fund” Lost Millions
The Equality Fund was to correct “the funding shortfall for women’s rights and feminist organizations in developing countries,” wrote auditors. “It was meant to provide a sustainable, predictable and flexible source of funding that would enable women’s rights and feminist organizations to advance gender equality and empower women and girls.”
“…we were expected to execute the basics or we would be fired.”

Ben Shapiro weighs in: a bold pick, a whole new generation… you cannot doubt his IQ, you cannot doubt he’s a bulldog.
With Trump feeling — literally — the wind of mortality on his neck, he’s going to want a backup who’ll carry the MAGA flame, not some milquetoast who might “balance the ticket” but who wouldn’t be worth it if he/she stepped into Trump’s shoes. Plus at best Trump can only serve one term; he wants someone who might follow him in office and carry the MAGA vision forward.
Earlier today, Trump called for RFK to get Secret Service protection, and a friend messaged me: “Haha, when they do that, our crazy orange former president official becomes shadow chief executive. Making the common sense calls the Biden admin can’t quite manage.”
And later today, they did that, with Sec. Mayorkas announcing that RFK will get Secret Service protection. To which my friend comments: “Prediction: Here through Jan 20 will be the first six months of the second Trump admin.”
The dynamism is all on one side here.
