Brian Lilley: We Still Need Evidence On Carney’s Corruption

Brian Lilley, columnist with the Toronto Sun, joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss Mark Carney, the Vancouver condo bailout controversy, government secrecy, trade talks with the United States, and whether the Prime Minister is running the government he promised Canadians.In this episode, LeDrew presses Lilley on the question of corruption, especially around the Vancouver bailout. Lilley pushes back, arguing that he does not like using the word “corruption” without clear evidence — but says the Carney government has not been transparent enough with Canadians.They also discuss Carney’s political instincts, the appointment of Tom Pitfield to the Senate, the Chicoutimi by-election, trade negotiations with Donald Trump, and whether Canadian politicians are using Trump as a political excuse for problems that existed long before the latest tariff fights.This is a sharp conversation about politics, accountability, secrecy, and whether Carney is better at playing the political game than delivering results for Canadians.Topics covered in this episode:The Vancouver bailout controversyWhy Brian Lilley pushes back on “corruption”Carney’s lack of transparencyTrade talks with the United StatesTrump as political coverCarney’s PMO and political strategyThe Tom Pitfield Senate appointmentThe Chicoutimi by-election calculationCanada’s weak business climatePolitics versus governing Hosted on Acast.
