- Today at 09:46:36 AMMinister of Heritage Marc Miller just admitted the next Liberal media bailout could cost taxpayers up to $6 BILLION.
The Carney Liberals are preparing to massively expand their media bailout program.
By bankrolling the media, Carney has already compromised Canada's free and independent press.
But this is going to take it to a whole new, 6-billion-dollar level.
A free and independent press is supposed to hold the government accountable, not rely on government cheques to survive.

- May 08, 2026, 09:39:09 PMThe CBC really doesn't want you to know how many Canadians use its streaming service, CBC Gem.
Government records that show the CBC spent $59,000 on lawyers and legal bills going to court to prevent you from getting those numbers. And that's just how much CBC spent on legal bills so far. The total bill could climb even higher.
The state broadcaster is trying to hide information from you even though it's your tax dollars that keep its lights on. Remember: The CBC takes more than $1.4 billion from taxpayers like you every year.
The CBC refused to disclose the number of Gem subscribers when asked through an access-to-information request by Open By Default's Matt Malone.
The Information Commissioner ruled the CBC must hand over the numbers, but the CBC refused and instead went to court to try to keep the numbers hidden.
The CBC asked the court to disregard the Information Commissioner's order to release the numbers. The state broadcaster argued that keeping subscriber numbers secret is necessary to compete in a crowded streaming market.
That's a bit unusual. Most companies are eager to tell you how many customers they have – unless the number isn't impressive.
Even publicly traded companies disclose subscription metrics. Streaming giants like Netflix, Amazon Prime and YouTube report total paid memberships or subscription revenue in financial filings and annual reports.

- May 02, 2026, 11:09:29 AMQuote from: DKG on May 02, 2026, 09:35:41 AMCarney released his main budget in November. He said he would spend $588 billion this year.I am going to bankrupt Canada.
Carney just released his mid-year budget update and now he says he'll spend $594 billion.
Six months later and Carney is already on track to spend $6 billion over his own budget.
The fairest way to judge someone is by the standards they set for themselves. And Carney is failing his own standards on spending.
The most important number in the budget: $59 billion
Fifty-nine billion dollars.
That's how much federal debt interest charges will cost this year.
Let's put that into perspective:
Federal debt interest charges will cost you $1,400. That's the share of the cost for each Canadian.
The federal government is now spending more money paying interest on the debt than it sends to provinces in health transfers.
Or think about it this way the next time you're waiting in the check-out line:
Every dollar you pay in federal sales tax goes to pay interest on the debt.
Carney borrowing more than Trudeau
Carney will borrow $65 billion this year. He has no plan to balance the budget and stop borrowing money.
Let's compare Carney's budget update with former prime minister Justin Trudeau's last budget update.
From 2025 through 2029, Trudeau planned to borrow $112 billion. Carney plans to borrow twice as much – $242 billion – over those same years.
If taxpayers did a blind taste test, Carney's budget would taste worse than Trudeau's.

- April 26, 2026, 06:50:25 AMGlobal Affairs Canada spent $59,000 to decorate a consulate in Milan, Italy.
The department dropped $33,680 on seven pieces of "artwork" – an average of $4,800 each.
One is a pair of "upcycled" pink cowboy boots with some beads, "floral work" and "wire trail duster fringe." The artist said it's meant to symbolize his "personal relationship to queer history."
Four pieces of art are textiles by an Indigenous artist, made mainly from rabbit fur, beads and sherpa. One of those pieces is a mitten on a pole. Yes – a mitten on a pole.
