On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, guest host Kris Sims breaks down the growing threats to freedom of expression in Canada. Kris explains how free speech is being squeezed from both sides — with government money flooding the media and new laws threatening to criminalize dissent. She exposes how millions in subsidies and tax credits have put mainstream media on the government payroll — destroying public trust in journalism. Then she unpacks the Liberals' latest censorship push — from Bill C-11's online speech controls to the Online Harms Act, which could allow anonymous complaints, steep fines, and even house arrest for speech that makes someone feel “unsafe.” Later, she's joined by journalist and former CRTC vice-chair Peter Menzies, who explains what these laws really mean for journalism, tech platforms, and anyone who dares to criticize the government.

He was also an adviser to Mark Carney during his time as governor of Bank of Canada.He talks to host Jayme Poisson about the controversial piece of legislation, Bill C-5, that would allow the government to fast track projects, but also exempt them from environmental laws and with some exceptions, acts of Parliament.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

“Dad went to war last night” read Vance Boelter's text to his family in the early hours of June 14. This was sent after his shooting rampage aimed at Democratic lawmakers, which left two dead and two critically wounded.  Turns out Boelter is an ordained pastor in a church associated with the New Apostolic Reformation, which sees the world as a spiritual battlefield and whose leaders have preached that political enemies are possessed by demons.  This is not some small fringe movement. Key figures in the Trump administration are adherents. We revisit this apocalyptic evangelical Christian cult and consider its political violence and religious extremism.

On Friday, the Liberals' controversial Bill C-5 was passed by the House of Commons — it's the only legislation to pass, ahead of Parliament rising for the summer.Bill C-5, the One Canadian Economy Act, aims to remove barriers to interprovincial trade, fulfilling Prime Minister Mark Carney's promise to do so by Canada Day. But the legislation would also give Carney's cabinet the power to quickly approve big industrial projects deemed to be ‘in the national interest,' exempting them from some federal laws.Carney has said the legislation will not weaken the government's duty to consult Indigenous rights-holders, but many are worried.The Decibel is joined by Assembly of First Nations National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak.

This week, our guest is Mark Maki, Chief Executive Officer of Trans Mountain Corporation. The original Trans Mountain pipeline was built in 1953, and the Expansion Project was completed just over one year ago, nearly tripling the pipeline's capacity to 890,000 B/d (from 300,000 B/d).  Here are some of the questions that Jackie and Peter asked Mark: How much do you expect to pay your shareholder (the Canadian Government) in 2025 and 2026? What are the logistics of moving the oil by tanker? Where are the tankers going, and what type of crude is shipped in the pipeline? How has the pipeline improved Canadian oil prices? What is the expected timing for a resolution on the tolls, as a Canadian Energy Regulator (CER) hearing is currently underway that could adjust the cost for shipping oil? What is the potential to increase pipeline flows, and is there potential for a northern leg as proposed in the early days of the expansion? The Federal Government has stated it plans to sell the pipeline; do you have any updates on that and the potential timing? What are your thoughts on Bill C-5 and the potential for this type of legislation to avoid the high costs and many delays faced by the Trans Mountain Expansion?Content referenced in this podcast: Globe and Mail, “Trans Mountain expects to pay federal government $1.25 billion in 2025” (May 2025)Financial Post, “Canada must maximize existing pipelines before building more, Guilbeault says” (May 2025) Financial Post, “Northern Leg to Trans Mountain pipeline attracts interest amid brewing trade war” (February 2025)Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

Ottawa's moves to fast-track resource projects with Bill C-5 are resurfacing concerns about Indigenous consultation. But what does it actually look like when Indigenous people push back against resource projects and take control of climate stewardship on their land? To find out, we head to the heart of Tsleil-Waututh traditional territory near Vancouver. The work they've done to restore local ecosystems is not only good for the climate, it's also a way to assert their rights. Then, we'll hear from an Anishinaabe expert who says this is just one example of how taking land back can be climate action.

It's the first day of summer and Canadian politics is already heating up. Prime Minister Mark Carney is hoping to pass Bill C-5 before the House breaks, but the legislation is drawing serious pushback from Indigenous leaders and others. Meanwhile, the G7 has wrapped — was there any progress on tariffs? Plus, a Conservative Party leadership review and by-elections in Alberta. It all makes for a busy summer in Canadian politics. Our national affairs panel — Rosemary Barton, Stephanie Levitz and Kathleen Petty — join us to break it all down.

It was one of Carney's shiny campaign promises with a deadline of Canada Day, but the way Parliament has hit the ground running on it has various groups across the country sounding the alarm.Bill C-5, 'An Act to enact the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act and the Building Canada Act', is the Liberal government's latest effort to breakdown any barriers to interprovincial trade in light of Trump's tariffs. However, several Indigenous, environmentalist, and other underrepresented Canadian groups are speaking out against the speed at which it's being passed, and the lack of power their voices have in the process. Host Maria Kestane speaks to Sonia Aslam, 1130 NewsRadio Vancouver journalist about what these groups are calling on the Carney government to do, and the potential outcomes that could arise if Bill C-5 gets passed by July 1. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes. You can find us:Through email at hello@thebigstorypodcast.ca Or @thebigstoryfpn on Twitter

Iran attends nuclear talks with European leaders as the Israel-Iran war persists. Israeli airstrikes target facilities near Tehran and Iranian ballistic missiles send millions of people to bomb shelters in Israel. While the conflict shows no sign of easing, many fear the plight of Gazan civilians and Israeli hostages held by Hamas is forgotten.And: Wine sales overall are down across Canada. But there is something to raise a glass to — domestic wines are defying the trend and having a moment with no U.S. competition.Also: Like the 60s, 70s and 80s music has played a key role in political protest movements. And today is no different. No- Kings marches across the United States are galvanizing the anti Trump movement and creating a soundtrack while doing so.Plus: New details on the rockfalls that killed two in the Canadian Rockies, the House of Commons rises for the summer with Bill C-5 being passed, Truth and Reconciliation recommendations on healthcare, and more.

Both halves of Bill C-5 passed in the House of Commons before it rose for the summer on Friday, but Liberal MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith broke with the party to vote against measures to enable the fast-tracking of major projects. Conservative deputy leader Melissa Lantsman tells Power & Politics why her party supported the legislation, and says 'no one group has a veto' to projects despite many Indigenous communities' objections to the bill and B.C.'s objection to a bitumen pipeline.

Today on The Social, is Bill C-5 – the controversial legislation meant to fast-track major projects and break down interprovincial trade barriers – necessary or an overreach? And, Grammy-winning artist Bad Bunny says that it's silly to complain about your job unless you’re a doctor or a teacher! Then, singer SZA told 'Interview Magazine' that she was a ‘freakazoid’ as a child. Plus, Pamela Anderson says people are becoming boring-looking.

The Grain Growers of Canada is not happy about the passage of Bill C-202.

This rant is about our Liberty. The Mark Carney Liberals have put forward a Bill that will allow the Government (without a warrant) - to go through your mail, your internet history, and find out everything that is going on with your banking or business... or lovelife. Even taking into consideration that the bad guys are getting more sophisticated - and that the government and law enforcement need more tools at their disposal - we must not give up all of our liberties to the Bureaucrats. Even when CSIS was created the government went to great lengths to protect the liberties of the individuals. With this Bill the Carney Liberals have crossed a line - and we must speak up about it.

This week on APTN News InFocus, host Cierra Bettens looks at what's at stake for Indigenous communities as governments across Canada move to accelerate energy and resource projects. In Nova Scotia a ban on uranium mining and fracking has been reversed. Quebec is proposing changes that could make it easier for companies to clear-cut forests. Manitoba is talking about a pipeline and Ontario's Bill 5 aims to create ‘special economic zones' for development in the Ring of Fire. At the federal level Bill C-5, the One Canadian Economy Act, proposes a powerful new office to select projects of national interest. Karyn Pugliese covers Parliament Hill for APTN News online and explains what it all means. We also hear from Sol Mamakwa, Ontario NDP deputy leader, who shares his concerns about the province's Bill 5 and what it could mean for Indigenous Peoples. • • • APTN National News, our stories told our way.

The Justice Foundation for Constitutional Freedom's (JCCF) John Carpay joins me for an in-depth discussion of Bill C-2, the Stronger Borders Act, and how it could make Canada a surveillance state. And the Conservatives score with their criticism of the Liberal plan to outlaw gas-powered vehicles. Mark Carney's true agenda is putting freedom at risk, and Canadians need to know the truth. In this episode of Stand On Guard, we break down the political catastrophe unfolding under Carney's leadership, from toxic bills like C-2 and C-5 to alarming moves toward censorship, surveillance, and a cashless society. Is this the beginning of an era where privacy, free speech, and civil liberties are systematically eroded?We're not afraid to ask the hard questions—why does this government keep pushing policies that threaten our rights? Why is censorship disguised as safety? And how far will this overreach go? With insights on polling about U.S. involvement in foreign wars, the truth behind arson-linked wildfires blamed on climate change, and how independent journalism is under attack, this episode isn't just news—it's a call to resist.Stay informed.

Parliamentary secretary to the prime minister Kody Blois defends his party's effort to rush its bill on projects of 'national interest' through the House of Commons this week, despite mounting concerns from Indigenous leaders, environmental groups and other Liberals. Then, Nishnawbe Aski Nation Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler explains his objections to both Bill C-5 and an Ontario bill that allows the province to suspend municipal and provincial laws to speed up projects, and why he says it will be a 'long, hot summer' if the federal bill passes.

In this explosive episode of The Richard Syrett Show, Richard Syrett delivers a fiery monologue tearing into Bill C-2, the “Strong Borders Act,” exposing it as a globalist plot led by Prime Minister Mark Carney to impose a cashless, surveilled Canada. He dissects Section 136's sinister cash ban and its ties to Carney's obsession with Central Bank Digital Currencies, warning of a future where every transaction is tracked. In the News Not in the News segment, Richard tackles four stories ignored by mainstream media: a poll revealing 52% of Canadians reject the “stolen land” narrative, corporate giants ditching Toronto's radicalized Pride parade, a parent silenced for opposing school board dogma, and Canada's chaotic immigration system with 500,000 undocumented migrants. With sharp analysis and unapologetic truth, Richard exposes the erosion of Canada's freedom and identity. Tune in for a fearless take on a nation at a crossroads. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Food Professor Podcast closes out its fifth season (sort of) with a sizzling, two-guest double feature and a feast of food industry insights.Co-hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois kick things off with a robust news round-up, starting with the Competition Bureau's lawsuit against DoorDash. The case alleges deceptive pricing practices that could set a major precedent in Canada's rapidly evolving food delivery sector. Next up is a conversation about GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, and their surprising ripple effects across the food and restaurant industries. With major players like McDonald's flagging GLP-1's impact on consumer demand, the hosts unpack how appetite suppression could force chains to rethink menus and marketing.Turning to politics, the duo dives into the return of Bill C-202, which aims to legislate permanent protection for supply-managed sectors like dairy. Sylvain, fresh from testifying before Senate, challenges the notion that legislation ensures economic security, arguing that this approach stifles innovation and shrinks global opportunities for Canada's dairy sector. The conversation highlights deeper questions about food affordability, trade readiness, and long-term resilience in Canadian agriculture.The episode then shifts to the guest segment, welcoming Daniel Vaughn, Texas Monthly's Barbecue Editor and the man behind the publication's iconic “Top 50 Barbecue Joints in Texas” list. Daniel shares his personal journey from Ohio to Texas BBQ fanatic, reveals the meticulous tasting process behind the prestigious list, and highlights innovations shaping the future of craft barbecue—from smoked lamb to Vietnamese fusion. He also reflects on the human side of the industry, including stories of pitmasters overcoming illness, personal loss, and economic challenges, all while pursuing culinary greatness.Wrapping the episode, Ransom Hawley, CEO of Caddle and presenting sponsor of the podcast, joins to share exclusive insights from a new back-to-school consumer study. He reveals that two-thirds of Canadian parents begin planning in late spring, and that private-label grocery products are increasingly popular—especially among families with younger children. He discusses emotional purchase behavior, the importance of online research, and how grocers and retailers can tailor promotions for maximum impact.With bold opinions, brisket, and back-to-school tips, this finale serves up equal parts smoke and strategy. The Food Professor #podcast is presented by Caddle.

This week on the podcast, we discussed Jackie's recent visit to St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, to attend the Energy NL conference. Energy NL is the province's energy supply and service sector association, which annually hosts the province's flagship conference on conventional and clean energy. This week, Charlene Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Energy NL, joins the podcast to explore Newfoundland and Labrador's energy potential and the discussions at the conference. Among the topics covered were potential nation-building projects, such as the Churchill River hydroelectric development—a joint $33 billion potential initiative by Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro and Hydro-Québec that aims to add nearly 4 GW of new electricity generation capacity on the river. Another significant project discussed was Equinor's Bay du Nord offshore oil development, which could open a new offshore basin 500 km off the coast of Newfoundland. In addition to covering the conference highlights, Jackie and Peter recapped the past week's events, including the constructive First Ministers' meeting in Saskatoon on June 2nd. During this meeting, Prime Minister Carney outlined the criteria for nation-building projects. Furthermore, on June 6th, the Carney government tabled new legislation, “Bill C-5: One Canadian Economy: An Act to enact the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act and the Building Canada Act.” The goal is to pass the bill into law by Canada Day. Content referenced in this podcast: Visit Peter Tertzakian's art show at the Elevation Gallery in Canmore, “Persistence, Obsolescence and Renewal: A Visual Inquiry Into the Lifecycle of Energy Infrastructure.” Alberta Electricity System Operator (AESO) approach to extensive load connections (Data Centres), June 4 Avik Dey, President and CEO of Capital Power, LinkedIn post regarding AESO's approach to data centre development, June 4 Prime Minister of Canada Office, “First Ministers' statement on building a strong Canadian economy and advancing major projects,” June 2 “Bill C-5: One Canadian Economy: An Act to enact the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act and the Building Canada Act,” tabled June 5 “Insiders say Mark Carney could compromise on the emissions cap,” Toronto Star, June 6 Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

Now here's your hosts, Alan Hall, Joel Saxon, Phil Totaro, and Rosemary Barnes.  Allen Hall: And welcome back to the Uptown Wind Energy Podcast. I'm here with Rosemary Barnes, Joel Saxon, and Phil Ro. Uh, crazy week. Again, I don't know how else to describe it. The, I was just telling our producer this morning that there's so much news coming out where it seemed like to be a little bit of a lull after the US House bill, but it's picked right back up again. And one of the more exciting things that's happened is A owns closed a $62 million series B. Uh, led by Activate Capital and S two G with, uh, revenue growing at Aeros by about 300% in 2024, and they are getting a lot of requests from [00:01:00] operators in the United States and elsewhere to fix their wind turbine blades. They have been working pretty closely with GE Renova and NextEra. Over the last, what Joel say two years, maybe a little bit longer on a number of problems.  Joel Saxum: Yeah. A couple years they've been doing, uh, bespoke solutions for both of them. They've also been doing their, you know, standard things that they're rolling out to the rest of the market. But I think this is a good thing. In one article that I was reading, there is like a tier one operator starting to adopt it, right? So. Everybody was kind of approaching that robotic thing, like, yeah, it looks like it's the future and, you know, but a little trepid, right? Dipping a toe in or dipping a finger into the water, trying it out. But now it seems like, hey, we got an LEP campaign, coones, we've got this robotics problem we wanna solve, collar owns. So they're starting to get more and more adoption and, and that shows, right, 300%, uh, revenue growth in 2024. So that's, that's huge, right? To, to hit that kind of number. So now it's up to, uh, scaling up. Uh, the only thing that can cap that number is the amount of robots that they can put outta the [00:02:00] factory over there in Riga.  Allen Hall: And we visited their facility in the United States about a year ago. It was just outside of Dallas, near Lake Dallas of all places. And it is a decent sized facility, but at the time we, when we walked around out back, you just noticed a whole bunch of, uh, parking lot spaces with trailers and capabilities for robots and thought, wow, that there's a lot of robot, uh, sitting in the parking lot. And, uh. But then they had, when I asked they, they said, oh, they had a ton of crews already out in the field working. So they do have the ability to get to a number of turbine sites. I, I guess maybe still not enough from what I hear, there's, the demand has gone through the roof.  Joel Saxum: Well, it's, it's a really interesting, or really cool, I guess, opportunity for technicians. So that's one of the things that robotics does is it addresses the technician shortage. You got a technician shortage, great, let's use robots. Then we can start, uh, having that force multiplier, right? Because you could run robots on two turbines from one control van.

Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with Bill C. Potts, a business leader, entrepreneur, father of three, healthcare consultant, cancer mentor, five-time cancer survivor and author of “Up for the Fight. How to Advocate for Yourself as You Battle Cancer.” Bill talks about his story as a 5-time cancer survivor - currently working on number 6 with the priority of helping others. His inspiring book serves as a guide and a framework, like a “What to Expect When You're Expecting,” but for cancer. Bill knew that his book would change lives, but he didn't expect that it would save lives, too. Bill also talked about diet for cancer patients, how he spends more on experiences and not stuff, and counseling cancer patients about their relationships. He also touched on the power of hope and the importance of faith. Yet while cancer is a part of Bill and it surely shaped him, cancer is not who he is.

This episode of The Food Professor Podcast, recorded live at the SIAL Food Innovation Show in Toronto, opens with co-hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois breaking down the week's top food and retail stories.First, they tackle the evolving Canadian political stance on supply management. Prime Minister Carney's reversal in support of Bill C-282 suggests renewed government protectionism in agricultural trade, potentially complicating future international deals. Sylvain, who testified against the bill, argues for a smarter, more competitive dairy sector rather than entrenching status quo inefficiencies.Next, they examine the return of Trump-era tariffs, including a 50% levy on aluminum. This move could squeeze margins in the canned food and craft beer sectors. Sylvain praises the Canadian government's decision not to retaliate immediately, calling it a strategic pause rather than knee-jerk nationalism. Then they discuss NielsenIQ data revealing that Canadians are cutting back on U.S. goods—not necessarily out of patriotism, but due to anti-American sentiment—while failing to significantly boost local Canadian brands.The final news item highlights the surprising global shortage of black pepper, linked to poor climate and farming shifts. As Sylvain jokes, barbecue fans like Michael may want to stock up on their secret weapon: 16-mesh pepper!The spotlight then shifts to special guest Vince Sgabellone, Food Service Industry Analyst at Circana Canada. Vince shares compelling insights from the frontlines of Canadian food service. A major trend? The explosion of global cuisine. Whether it's falafel shops, Nepalese momo dumplings, or Ethiopian cafés, Canadians are craving authentic international flavors—even from mainstream chains like Recipe Unlimited.Vince attributes much of this shift to immigration and younger generations of diners. One-third of all restaurant visits now come from people of color, and that number is even higher among Gen Z. These consumers are reshaping the restaurant landscape, fueling growth in fast casual dining and independent eateries with strong ethnic roots.He also reveals that dining out remains resilient in Canada, especially compared to a softening U.S. market. Delivery and takeout are climbing again, even as lunch remains the industry's weakest segment due to remote work. The growing popularity of solo dining, driven by changing social patterns and younger demographics, is creating new design opportunities for restaurant operators.This episode is rich in data, spiced with insights, and ends with a wild story about an elephant raiding a grocery store in Thailand—a perfect reminder that food always finds a way to surprise us.

Welcome back to another episode of Tank Talks! Host Matt Cohen is joined once again by John Ruffolo to dissect the major headlines shaping the tech and political landscapes. From Google's surprising search decline to Alberta's political maneuvers and OpenAI's evolving partnership with Microsoft, this episode delivers in-depth analysis and thought-provoking insights.Alberta's Exit Threat: Political Reality or Empty Rhetoric? (00:04:20)* In a passionate speech, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith called for significant changes, including scrapping Bill C-69 and easing pipeline restrictions. While her stance highlights Alberta's grievances over federal policies, talk of a potential referendum on separation looms large.John's take: Alberta's frustrations are rooted in a decade of feeling undervalued, but the talk of separation could harm Canada's stability on the global stage. Is this a legitimate political movement or a pressure tactic to get Ottawa's attention?OpenAI's Partnership Drama: Can Microsoft Keep Control? (00:09:36)* OpenAI's revenue-sharing deal with Microsoft faces renegotiation, as the AI giant's financial projections for 2030 are far lower than initially expected. With Microsoft holding critical infrastructure leverage, how will OpenAI balance growth aspirations with strategic partnerships?John's take: The entry of a new executive at OpenAI may signal a strategic pivot as the organization navigates both its nonprofit roots and commercial ambitions.Apple vs. Google: The Browser Battle Intensifies (00:13:45)* Apple's decision to challenge Google's default search dominance has sent shockwaves through the tech world. As the DOJ moves to bar Google from maintaining exclusivity on third-party browsers, could this spark a major shift in browser market dynamics?John's take: Apple's track record with AI has been inconsistent, but disrupting Google's foothold might be a game-changer in the long run.Is Google Losing Its Search Dominance? (00:15:09)* Google's recent sell-off raised eyebrows, fueled by statements hinting at a decline in search usage. John Ruffolo dives into the implications of Google's search being “under attack” and the strategic shifts at play. Is the rise of AI-powered alternatives like ChatGPT fundamentally altering how people search for information?John's take: Google's maneuver might be an attempt to alleviate DOJ antitrust pressure. If Google's dominance in search truly falters, what could this mean for the future of the tech giant?Education Disrupted: The AI Cheating Debate (00:16:52)* A viral article from New York Magazine claims students are increasingly using AI tools like ChatGPT to bypass traditional academic tasks. Is this cheating, or a natural evolution of how technology reshapes education?John's take: Comparing the rise of AI tools to the introduction of calculators in schools, John questions whether the educational system needs a fundamental rethink to adapt to the digital age.Investing Evolution: CO2 Opens the Doors to Smaller Investors (00:19:27)* A new fund from CO2, backed by Bezos and Dell, allows investors to contribute as little as $50,000. Is this democratization of venture capital a positive trend, or a risky dilution of strategic investment?John's take: This could signal a growing divide between massive investment conglomerates and boutique, specialized investors. Is the barbell approach to investment here to stay?Tune in to hear Matt and John's nuanced perspectives on these unfolding stories, and stay ahead in the ever-evolving world of business, technology, and policy.Connect with John Ruffolo on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/joruffoloConnect with Matt Cohen on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/matt-cohen1Visit the Ripple Ventures website: https://www.rippleventures.com/ This is a public episode.

"He's going to have a hell of a time getting a budget done if he keeps telling everybody we're going to ram down carbon taxes on every business in Canada,” says Kevin O'Leary, aka Mr. Wonderful, in an exclusive interview with Daniela Cambone following the Canada election. He warns of serious challenges ahead for Mark Carney in his effort to “rebuild” the Canadian economy. Unless Carney repeals elements of the Liberal legacy—such as Bill C-69 and carbon taxes—it will remain a struggle to attract investment back to Canada.O'Leary also describes Carney's win as “historic,” but attributes much of the victory to Trump's antagonism toward Canada. “A unique opportunity for Carney... let's forget about the Liberals' track record and let's focus on the enemy within North America, and that was Trump.” Finally, O'Leary highlights the fragility of Carney's position, noting that minority governments in Canada typically last only 18 to 24 months. Watch the video to hear O'Leary's full analysis. Key Facts: O'Leary called Mark Carney's victory “historic.”Carney faces a tough road ahead.Past Liberal policies damaged Canada's economy.Pierre Poilievre “will probably be an effective opposition leader.”What does the future hold for Canada under Carney?
