It is the public service's responsibility to ensure the quality of the advice being given, and so there are internal checks on this.
https://twitter.com/donstewartTO/status/1922306184645578945IMO, a good minister is one who can challenge and give direction to the public service. The minister needs to weigh the advice given and decide what is in the public interest, an inherently political task.
https://twitter.com/WabKinew/status/1920141645825392882There are a couple of nits at the start. No post-nominals are included after Dr. Carney's name. Usually, they would be P.C., M.P.. In Dr. Carney's case, he is not yet a MP (although he will be one shortly), so perhaps it is forgiveable that no post-nominals were included.
https://twitter.com/nationalpost/status/1918674453531082919Courts have been extremely reluctant to enshrine any positive rights in their Charter decisions. The s. 7 right to life, etc., does not mean governments must *provide* bike lanes, safe consumption sites or similar things. But it *can* limit the ability to *remove* them.

https://twitter.com/MarcLevesqueEco/status/1901993333242593480We can expect that investments ("controlled assets" as defined in the Conflict of Interest Act) were transferred in-kind into the blind trust. So, Dr. Carney would know what the blind trust held on day one. What he doesn't know is what trades the trustee has since done.
https://twitter.com/sean_speer/status/1889471874486145136How the current government has handled a number of files certainly contributed to it becoming very unpopular, to the point that it might have been facing an incredibly humiliating defeat had an election happened at that point.

https://twitter.com/TLNewmanMTL/status/1884617432087642421President Trump's pronouncements are, to put it mildly, batshit. His grievances are devoid of reality. Addressing his grievances is like playing whack-a-mole; if we can close one, he will jump to another equally imaginary complaint.

Unlike Saint John Power, you don’t need to build a separate transmission line.

The effect may happen over a period of time, but it isn’t a continuous effect.
