For the week of Nov. 30, 2025:
Millions of Canadians watched Prime Minister Mark Carney’s coin toss at the Grey Cup. It was a promotion for CFL sponsor Coinbase, a cryptocurrency company in which Carney invested.
This week’s guest, Democracy Watch co-founder Duff Conacher, says that’s offside, but Carney is unlikely to be penalized because federal conflict of interest rules are lax and riddled with loopholes.
After a top Brookfield executive testified to a House of Commons committee last week, Conacher explains why blind trusts and ethics screens are insufficient.
Conacher also tells host Bob Mackin about a legal roadblock in the quest to hold Justin Trudeau accountable for the SNC-Lavalin scandal and discusses how the B.C. NDP spent taxpayers’ money to defend the 2020 breach of the fixed election date law.
As usual, Pacific Rim and Pacific Northwest headlines and the Virtual Nanaimo Bar.
