Embarassing CBC Fact Check On Pierre Poilievre · Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show!

  Speaker 1: In this clip here they fact check Pierre Polyev. All right,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: So Pierre Polyef said that Mark Karney had brought on
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: as a top advisor Mark Weisman, who was the founder
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: of the Century Initiative, whose goal is to bring Canada's
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: population up to one hundred million people. This is all
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: verifiably true, demonstrably true. So let's see CBC's take on
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: this now. Don't forget that Mark Karney promised them an
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: extra one hundred and fifty million dollars if he wins.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: When he wins, he says he's going to give an
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: extra one hundred and fifty million on top of the
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: one point four billion CBC already gets. But he's going
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to give another one hundred and fifty million just because
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: he's a good guy, just because he's a good guy,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and he definitely doesn't expect anything in return. Let's take
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: a look.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: So as we watch that debate, lots of things were said,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: and the CBC News fact check team was also watching
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: very carefully. Jonathan gatehouse Is joined us now to talk
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: about what it was that caught that team's attention. So, Jonathan,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: we heard one figure in particular that may have made
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: viewers sit up and take notice. It was about Canada's
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: future population. So just to remind people, here's what Pierre
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: PAULIV said. And I also have to say that I
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: reject the Century Initiative, which is a liberal policy to
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: balloon Canada's population to one hundred million people. That's extremely
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: so do the Liberals, Jonathan have a plan to increase
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Canada's population two hundred million?
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: The short answer is no. That number comes from a
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: twenty nineteen report from a nonprofit group called the Century Initiative,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: who are arguing that Canada needs to hit one hundred
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: million mark by the year twenty one hundred in order
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: to supercharge the economy. It's not a liberal policy. Carney
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: has attended Century Initiative events in the past, and he
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: recently appointed the group's co founder to his Council of
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Advisors on Canada US Relations, but Carney has never indicate
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: that he supports the hundred million figures.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Gee, I wonder if him attending their events and bringing
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: on Mark Wiseman as a top advisor, I wonder if
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: that might indicate something apparently not to the CBC curiously
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and curious about all of this. No, that's not a
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: liberal policy. Uh, well, I don't know. It seems a
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: little bit snug to me, doesn't it. It seems a
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: little bit too convenient to me. I mean, are you sure?
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Are you sure that it's Can you say it with
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: such certainty? I mean, yeah, sure he goes to their events,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and sure he made the founder of the company, the
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: founder of the organization, a trusted advisor, a top advisor.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: But there's nothing to see here. That means nothing. According
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: to the CBC, do they take us for fools? What
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: am I saying? Of course, they take us for fools,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: and just without the slightest hint of embarrassment in this
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the slightest hint of embarrassed embarrassment. I mean, geez, I
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: wonder if something's going on here? From Andy Lee. Mark
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Kearney has never supported Mark Kearney has never supported the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Century Initiative except in twenty twenty four when he was
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: a speaker with Mark Wiseman. And remember also he just
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: got here. Okay, let's see, So this is from the
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Century Initiative with the Globe and Mail. We are bringing
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: experts and leaders together for a hybrid event to discuss
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the solutions, partnerships and policies for the next generation of
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: housing and infrastructure in Canada. Let's see. Confirmed speakers to
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: date include Mark Karney, Mark Wiseman. This is from twenty
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: twenty four. You know, he might kind of like this
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: whole Century Initiative thing. Seems like he might considering he's
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: totally involved with them. That almost seems like he might
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: want this hundred million people in Canada thing. I mean,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: it's just it's embarrassing at this point. Anyway. That's all
