Canadian Political Affairs update with Sun columnist Brian Lilley l February 04, 2025 l BCN

[@thomasmacdonald8248]

If they cared about canada and Canadians they would call parliament back right now and do the job WE pay them for

[@margyeoman3564]

Perfectly said.

[@CosmicCrow-m6g]

They would also pause the carbon tax, could you imagine it increasing in April while tariffs are placed on us?

[@eddobond76]

100%, Their vacation needs to be OVER by now !

[@jimsimpson1870]

👏 Hats off to Premier Smith, smartest and most practical of them all.

[@cliftonboyz1959]

Absolutely…makes the drama Queen, carbon tax Prince, the motley fool Doug like absolute fools without any interpersonal skills

[@cliftonboyz1959]

You telling me they left it till the 11th hour to find out what was needed to stave off tariffs…..so like Canadians who have absolutely no idea how to elect and hold a government accountable.

[@phillyarc5767]

100% smart lady

[@mary-loucleveland6991]

Exactly I am proud of how Danielle has responded and even had to endure some Albertans and other Canadians

[@LeRoi715]

CBC in this hour has 22 minutes called Ms Smith a traitor and showed 'her' impersonator in derogatory manner;CBC does not help Canada at all?

[@mattiwilson6542]

Thanks Brian for explaining these terrible situations!

[@glennaburke6915]

Brian makes sense !

[@kenison7415]

Thank you again Brian. Really appreciate 🙏 your reports .

[@Circagon]

Why are you not discussing Mark Carney claiming to be a Canadian Official? He is not an MP he is not elected he does not represent a riding. Why are you not talking about the letter Mark Carney wrote regarding how he was in close communication with our foreign affairs minister? This is something that needs to be investigated. He does not represent any Canadians. Again he is not an MP he is not representative in any way in the provincial federal or even municipal level. Why is no one talking about this undermining of our democracy?

[@MamaNature1983]

🤡Kearney is going to be appointed not elected. And yes, I miss spelt that on purpose.

[@sharonritchie6365]

I hope your comment gets some attention. People I work with love this guy without knowing any of his background. We’re surrounded by idiots.

[@Fefe559]

He us Trudeau 2.0 ! God I am kind of glad Trump is doing this - Canadians need to wake the F UP !

[@Ambridge-vl8on]

Oh I bet Pierre knows and is going to absolutely bring that to light when elections starting happening

[@pfaffman100]

What I've been reading now Lutnick, U.S. is going to head there to fix the mess. Wasn't Carney in charge of the bank of England.

[@sandyb6460]

I'm in Ontario and I'm grateful to Danielle Smith. She has been the best advocate of our Country. I only wish I could vote her in here in Ontario! Ford is a disgraceful man and a terrible leader. Thank you Premier Smith ♥

[@LindaRuiter-c4v]

Danielle Smith the smartest one out of the bunch

[@nicolamustard7232]

United State: “Help us stop the flow of deadly drugs into our country, it’s killing our people.” Canada: “No! Let’s have a trade war instead.”

[@willwong888]

Why are we so worry about the 25% tariff, when the 40% Carbon tax is coming on April 1... we get to choose what to buy if tariff apply, but carbon tax is apply on everything we need.

[@ErwinBraun-n9l]

And April 1 is pay raise for our hard working politicians, how appropriate , only problem is who are the fools

[@wurker1466]

Daniel Smith is the best Prime minister we never had.

[@JoelleBeaulieu]

There you be! Common Sense Conservatives, making all the right calls!

[@RonaldWuerch]

This is what you get for voting for the fool Trudeau 10 years ago...I never and never will vote for any Liberal or NDP.

[@tammyhayes4067]

As an Otarian, I have to say "Bravo to Danielle Smith", Doug Ford is a loser.... Brian Lilley deserves an award for "straight forward" journalism. Hats off to Brian!

[@RickCarroll-Canada]

Let's be honest. Danielle Smith did ALL the work and JustDIM walks in at the last minute and plays hero. She's the hero. Trudeau is still Canada's biggest loser.

[@clearview5281]

I believe Premier Smith is one of the few Canadians that is convinced that Canada has a Drug Problem (Fentanyl) and the US is concerned about it going South. Last Oct. when it looked like Trump may win, the Mex. Cartels moved some of their operations to Canada via BC, then across the Country. This is what Trump wanted Canada to clean up, not a Trade War.

[@jasonhagemans2511]

Stop lying, it's pathetic

[@clearview5281]

30 days and counting. No Parliament. Stupid times create stupid results. This country is a wreck.

[@clearview5281]

Said in a Honest Way.

[@ElainEmail-m7q]

For many parents today watching the tarriffs wars, the drug wars, the illegal immigration wars..... some of us wonder if Canada decides to DE- LEGALIZATION of hard drugs immediately. This helps to reduce rapid rises in drug addictions among the populations of all ages? Since the legalization of hard drugs was implemented by the Federal Liberals MPs government, Canadians witness the exponential rises in drug addictions in Canada.... is it time to remove the LEGALIZATION of hard drug immediately?

[@derekp.7831]

All for Pierre but good luck having a pipeline going through Quebec and the worst part is Alberta is force to give money for Quebec for support but they don’t want any pipeline passing through their province.

[@Woodchopper46]

Bob Rae is an NDP first and foremost, when that fell through he switched to the Liberals for a cushy appointment as Canadian Ambassador to the UN. A nice gig if you can swing it!

[@MamaNature1983]

It has nothing to do with Donald Trump 9:33 it has to do with Trudeau‘s personality.

[@Neel_44]

I have doubts about Canada fixing the problems. All talk no results. F around for 30 days and find out

[@MANUELALEXANDRE-ri1zk]

Daniel smith is the smartest one of all of them

[@bradsmith9189]

She kissed his butt and it made zero difference Trump will do whatever he likes. I agree fully with her on pipelines and we need to heed her and act right now !

[@jackshields606]

Bob Rae as our ambassador? Good grief.

[@pfaffman100]

Many thanks team. Danielle Smith all the way.

[@jojopags6667]

Government needs to be open so they get back to work They should not be paid if not working. Joli went to see Trump why not Trudeau doing this, I don't believe Trudeau or maybe Trump was not happy on non action. Love Danielle. Tired of being held hostage. We want an election now to have who we want negotiating.

[@Fefe559]

Who the hell would want to talk to that dumb girl ? God second hand EMBARRASSMENT

[@jonshannow7808]

Lower taxes and regs are a threat to Canada? That's a sad situation. Painful as it is going to be, this is the best opportunity Canada has had in a century.

[@RobertTorontoYYZ]

Joly went to Washington and spoke to Democrats and one Republican who is openly critical of Trump. That's who is representing Canada ...Shaking my head

[@Fefe559]

So embarrassing Screw it, I am moving to the states. The leadership here are losers

[@chriscrooks5610]

@@Fefe559US is becoming a mess. Trump is unfortunately just as toxic as Trudeau and right now they rather act like children than like leaders of our country.

trudeau putting a tariff on the US is not to hurt the US it's another way to hurt Canadians.

Really enjoy your podcasts. Brian Lilley is a legend. CTV Power Play should replace a few of their permanent fixture so called experts to comment on our politics with the expertise and intelligence of Brian likes. It would be a better Canada to hear what’s really going on our HILL.

[@BNBsBrainCancerJourney]

Smith for governor of Canada!!!!

[@mary-loucleveland6991]

Joly is not helpful

[@scott2773]

"Truth in Securities" law, the 1933 Act, and the Federal Securities Act-requires that investors receive financial information from securities being offered for public sale. This means that before going public, companies have to submit information that is readily available to investors.trudeau almost caused a crash yesterday because of false infomation to the public as trump didnt say terrifs war, he said fix two things or he would put terriffs on us. Big difference then what trudea was saying which caused the stock market to almost crash making people loose a lot of cash.

[@Chairman-w7q]

Unfortunately, Conservatives and conservative supporters caused a prologue by forcing Trudeau to resign and the party has to find a new leader. While there is a break with the tariffs, the lesson is here, since Canada didn’t give up anymore than the commitment months ago, sticking together is how you push back a bully because Canada would have caused massive manufacturing like auto companies to shut down and millions out of work and that’s why Trump backed down. If just one MP weakens the leadership in Canada can cause trouble for Canada overall and not for one province.

[@chriscrooks5610]

First off the government has been nonfunctional because Liberals did not release relevant information in the green slush fund. This was backed by the Bloc and NDP. Justin is resigning because his party finally realized how toxic he was and they basically forced him out. The only thing Conservatives have done is trying to make sure there is accountability which the Liberals have been sadly without starting with the (now declared illegal) emergencies act and ending with proroguing parliament.

[@jomara68]

[@MamaNature1983]

To be quite honest, and I don’t really wanna be part of the USA, but the best path forward for Canada is an economic union with the USA. There’s no negative to it. It increases our dollar value and it opens up our economy. I don’t wanna be the 51st date, but I am certainly open to an economic union. 7:17

[@Fefe559]

Me too !!! Canada has become a loser because of horrible leadership

[@Chromatic145]

So Canadian provinces can't do businesses with other Candian provinces or do I have that wrong?

[@Whiskeybare]

Yes, correct

[@clearview5281]

Yes, one truck can't bring material into another Province unless they have the approved fire-extinguisher in the truck. No other extinguisher will do!

[@Fefe559]

[@janetlepage8889]

Trump really needa to rethink his threat of tariffs to Canada because I know now in tourism alone the americans stand to lose 20 billion a year from us canadians. You see canadians love going to the states during our winters and we also love to go shopping. All of a sudden canadians do not want to go there anymore there cancelling there trips unless trump removes these tarrifs. So bye bye america.
