You can tell Rob Russo is the journalist on the “PnP” power panel as he sits making his notes (on his knee, not even on the table - dedicated & experienced) while the others are speaking.
Love to see that.

Andrew Scheer true to form in his interview on “Power & Politics”.
Same old playbook.
Challenged, rightly, on his position & when asked about the new approach Lantsman mentioned at their retreat & told it sounds like nothing’s changed. Scheer? No plausible reply.

Looking forward to the interview with Norwegian PM Jonas Gahr Støre later today on “Power & Politics” - though a little apprehensive about his concerns regarding Poland/ Russia.
These days the news of world can be utterly exhausting.

I listened to Fred DeLorey last night on “Power & Politics” - his displeasure & dismay were palpable. He was highlighting the writing on the wall for Poilievre.

So. AI.
Like Frankenstein.
If you build it - it will come for you?

I don’t feel completely comforted listening to Joelle Pineau, Chief AI officer at Cohere on “Power & Politics”.

“How worried should we be?” asks David Cochrane

I’d like to know who is minding the store?

#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

Jim Acosta at CNN (at the time) is the journalist who sued and won to get his White House press credentials returned. So yes Trump has tried banning journalists before.

#pnpcbc #uspoli

Opposition parties need to critique but conservatives have just thundered & thrown out accusations (my words).
Fred DeLorey says all of the critiques could be done “in a responsible & mature way.”
He’s nailed it.
That is everything that is missing when Conservatives speak.

Excellent comment/insight from @gregmaceachern.bsky.social on “Power & Politics” about the Prime Minister’s trip to Europe - showing that “Canada has more than one front door to the world.”

#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

“Uplifting” way to end the week on “Power & Politics” with an upcoming segment “could AI kill us all?”

Happy weekend. Don’t waste a moment!

#pnpcbc

Don’t envy Lana Payne the job she has & she must be exhausted, but man, listening to her in discussion tonight on “Power & Politics” she’s strong & she’s not letting Stellantis off the hook - she’s going to hold their feet to the fire.
A woman I’d want fighting in my corner.

#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

Bless Michele Cadario for her comments on “PnP” about the Conservatives (Duncan this evening) sounding “Trumpy” about immigration and migration and things that haven’t even happened yet.
Such a strong panel voice on many issues.

#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

Eric Duncan speaking for the Conservatives on “Power & Politics” said “we don’t know the details yet” about the government’s proposals with the EU.
Yet there he was putting forth all the party’s talking points - preemptively - shining the light on the party’s divisiveness.
#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

Thank you David Cochrane for pushing back on the comments Eric Duncan was making about the EU and immigration.
Unbelievable the rhetoric the Conservatives will push forward in their zeal.

#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

Eric Duncan speaking - rapidly in his agitation / on “PnP” uses pointed language - saying repeatedly “the Prime Minister is not being honest.” Repeatedly.
Transparency which he also used repeatedly is one thing. Calling someone dishonest is completely different.
Give me strength.

#cdnpoli #pnpcbc

Gods bless David Cochrane for trying to push back against the dumbest of Conservative talking points on this EU stuff, while new critic Eric Duncan is just mindlessly repeating the three talking points his leader gave him. #PnPCBC

Listening to the controversy being discussed about Kerry-Lynne Findlay in B.C. (and all that happened with John Rustad) on “PnP” I’m wondering - Is there a Conservative Party anywhere in Canada - federally/provincially that isn’t mired in something shady/suspect or questionable?

#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

“Conservatives remain skeptical” of the government’s plan to form a closer partnership with Europe. - “Power & Politics”.

It is tiresome to hear their constant negativity.

I look forward to hearing the Conservatives offer “constructive” criticism that can be worked with.

#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

Niigaan Sinclair’s comments tonight on “Power & Politics”about Stephen Harper’s closing remarks at the Investment Summit this week were smart,
sharp and insightful about the former Prime Minister.

#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

“Jamil Jovani is running his own operation” - David Cochrane.

Absolutely on point.

And who is going to suspend that operation before it picks up speed with support?Because it doesn’t look like it’s going to be the leader of the party.

#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

A made up title - “associate member” in the EU (the discussion on “PnP” power panel).

Hasn’t every title in every area of life at one time been “made up” somewhere by someone?

I realize I’m being pedantic but everything begins somewhere.
