To this day Carney hasn’t done anything to justify why I voted for him aside from not being Pierre. This cabinet has been embarrassing.

Robertson as the Housing minister has been nothing but embarrassing sound bites on top of this stuff.

Though Robertson said he had asked the bank to reverse course on its decision, the bank’s CEO testified, “to the best of my recollection,” cancelling the loan was not discussed in their conversations.

Rather, Corey said, he explained to Robertson the logic of why the Canada Infrastructure Bank made the loan. He said its mandate is to invest in infrastructure across the country and to benefit Canadians.

What about people trying to get home. If they cut this loan off and it becomes a substantial delay for the new ferries the Liberals is going to pay for it in BC seats.

Freeland rejected that her responses were flippant, and said as minister of transport and internal trade, “I am doing everything that I can do within my jurisdiction to prioritize Canadian workers, and particularly workers in the steel, aluminum, and lumber industries.”

Also as usual even when given the opportunity to actually be helpful the Canadian’s the Conservative go out of their way to shit the bed.

Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis (Haldimand-Norfolk, Ont.) pointed out the Canada Infrastructure Bank’s mandate also includes promoting the Canadian economy, and said it should be disbanded.

Conservative MP Dan Albas (Okanagan Lake West—South Kelowna), a vice-chair of the House Transport Committee, used a maritime metaphor to describe the disconnect between Freeland’s letter and the loan.

“You’re like a ship sailing at night, seeing another one sail by, except those are our jobs, going to China, to a shipyard that’s owned and managed by the state,” he said. “Minister, why aren’t you saying, ‘No I won’t support this loan. It’s contrary to what the government’s intentions are and what Canadians are asking for.’”
