The PM was in New York, fresh from his speech at the Economic Club, while Pierre Poilievre disappeared after making a statement condemning antisemitism. Lianne Rood led off, and railed about restrictive foreign investment rules. Maninder Sidhu pointed out that foreign direct investment is at a twenty-year high. Rood accused the Liberals of creating a failing economy while most of Carney’s personal investments are in the U.S. Mélanie Joly responded by patting herself on the back for the Saab Global Eye contract. Mark Strahl took over to make the same bizarre accusations, and Tim Hodgson patted himself of the back for recent investments by Shell, before they did another round of the same. Gérard Deltell read the same script in French, and Joly pointed out that Canada is now the favourite destination for investment in North America before repeating the praise for the Saab deal. Deltell tried again, and this time Steven MacKinnon enthused about building mines and military aircraft.

Christine Normandin led for the Bloc to declare that the National Assembly unanimously condemned Carney’s statement about the Clarity Act, to which Lightbound countered that Quebec’s priorities are really things like mines and aircraft. Normandin demanded the Clarity Act be repealed, and Lightbound repeated his same points. Rhéal Fortin tried one more time, and Dominic LeBlanc went on a bit of a ramble about how there will be an election in Quebec in the fall.

Round two, and Rachael Thomas spouted some bullshit about a “streaming tax” which doesn’t exist (Myles: This is not a tax, and we have cut taxes, while this is about equity for creators and fair competition; The cultural sector generates billions for the economy and unites us as a country; MacKinnon: Canadians deserve to have production and their stories told in this country), Anna Roberts claimed the government ignores seniors as she read the “national credit card” script (McLean: Your plan was to do nothing; Zerucelli: You voted against all measures to support seniors), and Warren Steinley complained about the prime minister’s in-flight catering (Sidhu: The PM’s travel has delivered deals and jobs back to Canada; Hajdu: You voted against the measures to help families in your province).

Rachael Thomas continues to spout outright lies about the non-existent “streaming tax.” At least David Myles is countering reasonably effectively. #QP

Mario Simard needled that the government lost Steven Guilbeault over their climate betrayal (Dabrusin: Your leader did an about face when he supported fracking when he was provincial environment minister; We’re all the environmental caucus because we are all fighting climate change).

Jason Groleau returned to the issue of the PM’s in-flight meals (Lightbound: We signed 20 security and trade agreements around the world; You have been trying to deprive people in your riding of supports), Gabriel Hardy read the same script (Desrochers: We are hard at work to create affordability for Canadians), and Jacques Gourde decried the closure of agricultural research centres (MacDonald: We are working with provinces and academia to maximize research).

Round three saw questions on health benefits for asylum claimants (Diab: This limited health coverage for vulnerable people is coming down with reduced volumes; Anandasangaree: The CBSA removed 23,000 ineligible persons last year), the CEO of Health Infoway (Michel: I don’t have direct contact with the CEO because Health Canada has a representative on the board; This is an entity that is separate from the government), the spaceport lease (Romanado: Commercial space launch capability will be worth billions; Kelloway: Maybe you should explain why you’re anti-Nova Scotia; CPC should stand for the “conspiracy party of Canada”), the secret MOU with China on law enforcement cooperation (Anand: We entered into this agreement on the advice of intelligence and law enforcement agencies; We will ensure that the guardrails in place will continue), the excuse of health effects for forcing flight attendants back to work (Hajdu: The labour minister sometimes need to use tools to ensure labour peace when they are important things like organ transplants at risk), the climate file (Dabrusin: We announced new supports for fighting wildfires, and we are committed to the fight against climate change), and the future of Toronto’s waterfront as it relates to the Billy Bishop airport (MacKinnon: We will consider the view of people in the GTA if any changes to this airport are necessary).

Another day, and other racist question from Dan Mazier. #QP

Michael Cooper makes allegations of financial malfeasance with the spaceport lease contract. “Say that outside, big guy!” A Liberal backbencher chirps. #QP

Kelloway: CPC should stand for the “Conspiracy Party of Canada.”Adam Chambers did stand up to give a slow clap to that. #QP

Overall, it was a pretty low-energy day, marked by fairly bizarre questions—is the prime minister deliberately crashing the Canadian economy to bolster his American investments? Really? That’s your question? (My kingdom for an opposition party that can actually behave like responsible adults…) And we got more gutter racism on the questions around refugee healthcare, to which Lina Diab remains wholly incapable of responding to in an appropriate way that doesn’t further scapegoat or make it sound like she is sympathetic to the racist construction of those questions. How is this so difficult? I don’t understand why this is being allowed to stand, on either side of the aisle. And as for the spaceport questions, there might actually be a kernel of something to look into, but the Conservatives’ immediately leaping to “Why are you letting Liberal insiders get rich?” will immediately get responses like they got today like “Why do you hate Nova Scotia,” or “You’re really the conspiracy party.” Neither side is acquitting themselves, and these kinds of exchanges just keep hitting new lows.

Sartorially speaking, snaps go out to Christine Normandin for a dark grey jacket over black scoop-necked top and slacks, and to Mike Kelloway for a dark grey suit with with a pale check pattern over a crisp white shirt and a black and grey patterned tie. Style citations go out to Randy Hoback for a taupe jacket over a light blue collared shirt and faded blue slacks with no tie, and to Rosemarie Falk for a black top with white florals over black clam-diggers. Dishonourable mention goes out to Juanita Nathan for a faded yellow top under a black jacket and slacks, and to Rebecca Alty for a mustard yellow jacket with a white top and black slacks.
