This association with Christian-based ultra right-wing extremism is also true of Danielle Smith's UCP Party, with its close ties to the people of PragerU. The UCP are carbon (no pun intended) copies of Trump's MAGA in USA.

Please remember that the modern/current Conservative Party of Canada grew out of Preston Manning’s religious right-wing Reform Party and Stockwell Day/Stephen Harper’s religious right-wing Canadian Alliance.

If Rosie finds it hard to believe that Carney has done everything he needs to remove conflict of interest - perhaps she should get her investigative reporter hat on and look into it. This performative bullshit is just lazy and self-serving.

RCMP videos show how extremist ideology fuelled armed Coutts protesters | CBC News
RCMP videos and evidence photos obtained by The Fifth Estate reveal the extent to which conspiracy theories fuelled men arrested at the 2022 border blockade in Coutts, Alta. While they were found not guilty of conspiring to murder RCMP officers, experts tell The Fifth Estate the case is a warning about the potential for violence posed by extremist ideologies.
