The public system gets to pay for treating these patients seemingly made sick by a for-profit business and the investigation of said business. I'm so glad we let for-profit companies back into blood collection after kicking them out after the tainted blood scandal of the 1980s in which 1000s were exposed to HIV or Hep C /s

NDP MP Lori Idlout crossing floor to Liberals

if she believes this is the best way to represent her electorate and that’s her motivation, fine

I'd have liked to see a town hall meeting or other community consultation at the very least. Absent that, I can't help but think it's motivated by self-interest

Neither Corus Entertainment, the parent company of Global News, nor Mulroney himself responded to multiple requests for comment about whether The West Block host sharing video game footage in the middle of a war is in alignment with Global News’ journalistic standards.

The debunked video continues to remain visible on Mulroney’s X page more than 24 hours after PressProgress first contacted the media outlet and its host.

Corus and Mulroney did not address other social media postings by Mulroney over the weekend.

There are a lot of other posts...

Another post shared by Mulroney celebrated the military strikes and warned readers: “Don’t let the left fool you with their anti-war propaganda.” The post continued with “Long live America. Long live Israel. Long live Iran.”

Global News has previously fired its own journalists for sharing opinions about Palestine on their personal social media accounts. In 2023, Global fired Palestinian-Canadian journalist Zahraa Al-Akhrass, suggesting her social media posts violated the company’s policies and created a “perception of serious, journalistic bias.”

Internal emails reviewed by CBC News showed Global News managers had ordered the journalist to remove postings that included hashtags like #freepalestine, #gazaunderattack and #gazagenocide.

Corus provided no response to questions about why sharing content on social media with hashtags like “#freepalestine” could give rise to perceptions of bias but not posts that declare “long live America” and “long live Israel,” let alone posts suggesting left-wing “anti-war propaganda” is a lie.
