Liberal MP threatens National Post editor by saying feds fund her salary

Liberal MP Taleeb Noormohamed (Vancouver Granville, BC) has told National Post Comment senior editor Terry Newman to stop criticizing the Canadian government.

This is because the Canadian government has been providing the National Post with media subsidies to keep it operating.

“Your paper wouldn't be in business were it not for the subsidies that the government that you hate put in place — the same subsidies your [Donald] Trump-adjacent foreign hedge fund owners gladly take to pay your salary,” tweeted Noormohamed.

Noormohamed was commenting on Newman saying the Liberals and Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Minister Marc Miller have harmed Canada since coming to power.

“Incredible how much damage a party and minister can do to a country in nine years,” said Newman.

Quillette associate editor Jonathan Kay joked about Noormohamed doing a good job.

“Where’s her gratitude for all that Liberal cash, right?” said Kay.

“Oh and maybe remind the lady that you know people who can audit her taxes.”

Zayouna Law Firm lawyer Ryan O’Connor said Noormohamed was threatening Newman for criticizing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

“Liberal MP to media: our government pays your salaries, so shut up and stop criticizing the Prime Minister,” said O’Connor.

Trudeau said in February he is not trying to control the media with the various subsidies he has established.

To try to assist the media, Trudeau created a $595 million media bailout for various publications, provides the CBC with an additional $1.3 billion per year, and has spent money on subsidies for television stations.

“We’re trying to support journalism in this country and across this country, but no government can do it alone,” he said.

Berta Dad nailed it. Copied from FB.
Jeff Rath’s behaviour toward Danielle Smith is not a good look for this movement, and he does not speak for me.
When this started, I had respect for him. But as this has played out, it has become harder to ignore what appears to be a push for power inside the movement, not a sincere focus on Alberta independence.
Danielle Smith is a major reason Albertans were even able to collect signatures in the first place. Compared to any other premier in this country, I believe she has been the strongest one standing up for her province.
I will not forget her accomplishments.
She stood up for parental rights when others wanted schools keeping parents in the dark.
She took action against political ideology being pushed in classrooms.
She made sure kids got back to school when the system tried to hold families hostage.
She has strengthened Alberta Sheriffs and continued exploring ways to free Alberta from relying on the RCMP.
And that is only part of it.

WEF/UN/Globalists have proven they can’t be trusted now given the key to Canada. Are you awake yet Canadians??

REPORT: UN Climate Scientists Flip on the Climate Doomsday Narrative | Stand on Guard CLIP

WATCH Have they been lying about climate change this whole time? Are they cancelling climate change doomsday scenario for the data centers?

The UN climate scientists admit the high emission doomsday scenarios were overblown. UN climate change scientists flip: climate change not too bad anymore according to a new report. No doomsday on the horizon.

On this Stand on Guard clip, we question why the UN might be backtracking on previous dire predictions, suggesting a new agenda at play. We examine how this shift could be tied to the proliferation of data center construction and the increasing demands on our power grid from artificial intelligence. It's crucial to consider the broader implications for our communities and hold big tech accountable.
