- Sun political columnist Brian Lilley on how the Justin Trudeau Liberals freak over Elon Musk's Starlink service, after giving $2 billion to a competitor.
Sick of trudeau and his financial corruption.
I would wager there've been kickbacks to the Liberal Party, just as with the Sponsorship Scandal. It should be investigated.
So should the TransMountain2 pipeline, _which has cost taxpayers $35 billion._ 🤯
If it was just financial.........
@@egSmith-sp9gl on paper yes. but who knows...it could be another arrive cam, can? or the liberal government trying hiring contractors that weren't necessarily. and some of those were just family and friends or connections being paid a ton tax payer money.
they look legit on the surface. but with all the scandals, i wouldn't be surprised if trudeau behind the scene is giving more tax payer money to his corporate buddies. im not saying he is doing this right now, we don't know. but it could happen, it's a possibility.

Trudeau cannot stop wasting the taxpayers money!!!!!!
I'm so done with him and his minions!!
Those idiots that sit behind him in the house nodding their heads when he talks. Bobbing like bobble heads. 😠🤬
Well, for sure he is not done with us. Get out and vote people
He should be fired 2 terns ago by all Canadians. And sued all trlhe money he spent of ours.
I hope you're not just figuring this out now, anybody who ever voted liberal is a moron idiot.
Agree, me too!
Wow aren't we tax payers generous. Handing money out like a drunken sailor.
Fractional reserve banking. Things changed after 1974. Cant say more or else get flagged.
Don’t be drunk libby. You are funding them libby.
Don't worry, much like more than 50% of the Transfer Payments, it's going to kbec, you know the province with the Second Largest GDP in Canada.
I was thinking more like an 18-year-old at a strip after he gets his first cheque from working 2 months at a camp job.
@@glen1arthur that is funny. 😁 Is that knowledge by experience?
Paying Quebec for support to keep Liberals in power. Plain and simple.
Quebec also wants to send their unwanted gimmegrants to the Maritimes and Western Canada,
@@edgar-edgarton Yes I seen that. Glad provinces are saying NO
That's absolutely what it's about, I just seen another recent news post saying the bloc won't back conservatives.. big surprise
If you are plain and simple you've come to the right shitmagnet.
yep Quebec wanted none of the conservatives which is very disappointing.
Another waste of my tax money and I don’t remember voting for this. I want my tax money back.
Justin Trudeau has no shame. I am very tired of looking at that narcist.
narcissist*
3.5 BILLION to this company all the while disabled, senior, and veteran Canadians struggle to feed themselves. October 2025 can't come too soon.
I’m hearing early November 2024🤞🏻
@@guyincognito7442I’m hoping.
All the while the same system is already in place.
Remember "they're asking for more than we can give right now "
I'm disabled and retired. My life is actually better under the Liberals than it was under Harper. As low income earner,I actually have more money in my pocket now.
As each day goes by, Canada sinks deeper into the abyss.
that's the intention
Will he be put to prison? Its a clear corruption sample.
Trudeau and his corruption is getting sickening How much kick back are they getting for this rotten deal
There is nothing rotten about this deal. The constructor and many of the subcontractors are Canadian owned and operated. The constructor is actually MDA Space, the company involved with Canadarm and also the company where the announcement took place. Long story short, the vast majority of the economic fallout will directly improve the Canadian economy. The industrial capital will be local, the intellectual capital will be local *and* the jobs will be local and not through the public sector. This is also a loan that has to be paid back with interests. It's one of the rare times when this was actually done properly. All of this is rare good news coming out of a mouth no one wants to hear them from anymore. I am also absolutely part of those people who don't want to hear those news from either the Liberal of the CAQ in Quebec. There have been so many scandals involving the Liberals at this point that it's actually weird to see this kind of good news.
@@Not.a.bird.PersonBS Elon Musk company could have provided a he same services for half the cost and he’s a Canadian You must be a brain washed fool that lives the corrupt Liberal’s
@@Not.a.bird.Person It is all about Quebec and nothing else
@@larrysearle7590 I agree 100%: it's all about Quebec...the province that has always enjoyed special privileges and loads of money not given to other provinces. I'd be happy to see Quebec separate from the rest of Canada
We need to cut JTs access to taxpayer money. Like, allow him to spend no more. He’s done. The country is completely broken and we need to rebuild it without a LIb or NDP in sight. We need adults back in the room
I agree
Don't get me wrong, I hate JT about as much as everyone here, but this investment is actually one of the rare times where there was an adult present in the room to oversee what was happening. Canada badly needs industrial investments and this kind of strategic investment is actually very good to bolster local industrial capital. It's also of strategic interest in the sense that foreign constellations are not going to be reliable in an increasingly isolationist world. Hell, the DoD had to twist SpaceX's arms to get them to keep Starlink operational in Ukraine, that's not exactly a good sign in a market where they dominate with 60%+ of active satellites and 90%+ of the launch market. It's not wasted money either, it's a loan with interests. Canadian taxpayers will not only make money on the government's balance sheet but will also make money off of the jobs and the industries this helps. This is the kind of investment that adds industrial capital, intellectual capital and that provides good jobs to Canadians that are not from the public sector.
@@Not.a.bird.Personassumptions.
@@Not.a.bird.Person A case full of holes. (1) The US didn't "twist SpaceX's arms." It was Musk's idea to aid Ukraine in the first place, _with a costly donation of equipment and services which literally kept Ukraine on the map when it otherwise wouldn't have stood a chance._ Number of other companies in the US or the world which did anything like it: Zero.
The sole occasion Musk demurred was when Ukraine asked for special adjustments to help it counterattack Russia in ways which even the US govt. had not allowed Ukraine to do with its donated weapons. He publicly stated that if the US govt. had instructed him to agree, he would've obeyed. They did not tell him to. And the White House never contradicted him on this point.
(2) The Liberal govt. under PM Peter Pan hasn't only given loans to Telesat, it has also given it cash gifts, as Brian stated.
(3) Please specify what guarantees there are that this funding will "make money on the government's balance sheet," rather than going down the drain. In only 34 months the company has lost three-quarters of its value, the shares falling from $41.52 to $10.82 today. Clearly it impresses no one.
Btw, I notice you have no clear idea what a balance sheet is. It's not where loan interest income shows up.
(4) If this were a moneymaker, as you assert, private money would've been beating down Telesat's door. That's how private capital works: it flows to advantageous, profitable opportunities. But it didn't in this case. That speaks volumes.
(5) Pray tell, who was this "adult in the room" to whom you refer? First and last name, please.
@@Not.a.bird.Personabsolutely, but with Elon
If Trudeau supports telesat, then I will never use their service.
Agreed.
Agreed. Nothing that ever passed their fingers
It's not like you're actually going to have the option to use it anyway, and that's not the point to this money. This money is not supposed to result in a telecommunication service, this money is supposed to transfer money from the pockets of Canadian taxpayers to the pockets of rich Quebecers. That is the only goal of this.
Don't get me wrong, I hate the Liberals as much as about 75% of Canadians but it's one of the rare times where this is actually a good move. Canada is in dire need for productive industrial investments and this investment supports a project with Canada's strategic interests at play for once. Foreign made constellations are not going to be a reliable infrastructure in politically turbulent times of isolationism. Hell, Ukraine lost its Starlink connection on a whim and SpaceX had to have its arms twisted by the DoD to give it back. That's not a good sign of things to come with a hyper monopoly controlling 65%+ of satellites in space and controlling 90% of the launch market.
Paying double isn't a solution
Once again, I find this completely disgusting. As a Canadian citizen, I do not agree with my money. Tax dollars Being spent this way. Liberal government needs to go.
Most Canadians when it comes to telecoms, cell phones and cable have adopted the mantra "Gough me, I'm Canadian!". It's a shock to Canadians when traveling out of Canada, to find out how much more these services cost in Canada than the rest of the civilized world.
We subsidize places that have 300 people in bum f nowhere.. they pay the same as someone in DT TO.. hows that possible.. 6 million in infrastructure for 300 people???... plus those towers need maintenance and power 24/7..
When I was in Egypt I bought a sim card for my cell phone. It cost $20 US at a kiosk, and the phone had unlimited everything. Minutes, times, data, none of it mattered. My understanding is that they didnt have plans there. The only thing you couldnt do was video chats or calls. Anything video comms was restricted. Oh, it was good for 6 mos
@@dads1962many small towns have no service. As for small towns, these are the real Canadians who fought for, died for and single handedly belt a once good country, which the simpletons from the filthy, violent ugly dump known as Toronto destroyed.
Congrats you ignorant crackhead!
Is there an uglier more filthy city in north America than Toronto?
Same old, Massive, Criminal Corporate/Liberal/Totalitarian/Trudeau/French Mafia Crime Family Grand Theft of Canadian's Present & Futures. Pay Quebec Separatists to prop up gov't with alliances from hell with Trudeau.
RCMP & CSIS are OWNED or they would've Guantanamo'd this Mother F#cker long ago. They have all been bought and now work for the DEEP STATE/WEF/ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT/NEW WORLD ORDER.
Oh Trudeau, when will you just go away!
You’re to nice, I am sure I would be more direct
Musk does not kissTrudeau's ring, he is a man that thinks for himself!!!!!!
Musk could buy the little shithole called Canada tomorrow. Trudeau has already been bought.
Also, Musk believes in meritocracy and freedom of speech....things that are not in JT's toolkit, so to speak
Elon Musk Canada needs your help
so true
He knows he's busy trying to deal with it along with a bunch of other stuff.
Elon wants to build high speed rail montreal to TO. It would then form a triangle in USA, and up the eastern sea board. He probably is putting it off until CS'er Trudeau is out and Democrats are out. Doesn't want em to parade and take credit
BS... its just a bunch of upper middle class self indulged idiots that need help...
So done with the Libs !!!!!
Elon pointed out his totalitarianism during covid. Trudeau's feelings were hurt so Canadians have to pay more to satisfy his ego.
I watched a video today of Musk doing an interview with an Australian media and she was saying that the price of energy was so high that people were at the breaking point. He was so genuinely surprised that he said how can that be you have so many plentiful resources to make super cheap energy, he looked very thoughtful for a moment and then said, we will work harder. As if it was his responsibility to fix it. What a man.
40,000 homes 75k per home. What a bargain.
This may be a Canadian company or whatever. I've never heard of them and I'm Canadian.
I've lived here my whole life.
Used to be, but sold off years ago and now owned by American shareholders.
Telesat is 90yrs old. No longer relevant like the CBC.. no purpose anymore
The fact that you've never heard of good Canadian companies is not necessarily a bad indication on them, but maybe one that you know nothing of the sector. Just saying...
There is also more to just Telesat here. Telesat is the operator, not the constructor. The constructor and many of the subcontractors are Canadian owned and operated. The constructor is actually MDA Space, the company involved with Canadarm and also the company where the announcement took place. Long story short, the vast majority of the economic fallout will directly improve the Canadian economy. The industrial capital will be local, the intellectual capital will be local *and* the jobs will be local and not through the public sector.

EVERYTHING, IS ALWAYS FOR QUEBEC, ALWAYS. WE HAVE OTHER PROVINCES IN THIS COUNTRY.
Untrue, its Natives and Quebec.
The rest of the country is simply a tool in the governments eyes.
How has he seriously not been tossed out by now, with all the insane crap he's done, and will continue to do?!
Vote PP❤🇨🇦❤️. Vote Trump❤🇺🇸❤️
Vote NDP - Vote Kamala
Nobody ever accused Trudeau of making good business decisions😅 jokes aside, this is infuriating! Stop wasting our tax dollars!!
My goodness…the level of idiocy overwhelms.
It has nothing to do with idiocy this time. It's about votes in Quebec
@@jimdent351 The project was well under way in Quebec well before those loans were announced. Telesat chose MDA Space because it was basically the only company in Canada capable of making what they wanted. While the politicians are definitely trying to gain votes from this, people here should leave this project alone. It's one of the rare projects coming out of Canada that everyone should be proud of. Keep in mind, I say this as someone who cannot stand the Liberals, I just legitimately think this is misplaced anger at the Liberals that is infecting everything they touch.
@@Not.a.bird.Person They're Liberal insiders.
@@Not.a.bird.Person At no surprise to me they deleted my comment that said "they're Liberal insiders".
@@Not.a.bird.Person Why do you suppose they keep deleting my comment to you that says, "they're liberal insiders"? The truth hurts I guess.
As a Torontonian, born and raised, spot on sir. The decline of the city is incredibly sad to watch. :(
Its happening in all our population centers.
FJT and F quebec
And F Brampton Ontario! Anyone care about the crime coming out of this community?
Telesat is 80% American owned
Trudeau can’t control starlink , imagine if Trudeau was your internet provider? Shut down for hurty words
Just further economic suppression of Canadians in support of the WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM AGENDA TO DICTATORIALLY RULE CANADIANS ! It may be bad financially but it is INTENTIONAL.
Exactly Sparkle Socks is throwing away money to other countries and his own pockets to make Canada monetarily vulnerable
I work in air cargo here in Canada, and I see StarLink equipment being shipped up north by federal government departments all the time.
I love it when average Joe’s rat out this government and expose these fools for the utter hypocrites they are. Thank you!
If you are rural in Canada and you need internet, then why not get Starlink??? Why should the government pay anything??
Exactly!!!
Probably to be granted predominantly to reservations, would be my own cynical guess. Can't let those folks get any ideas of self sufficiency
It’s so their government can control it
Because relying on foreign made assets in an increasingly isolationist world is dangerous and unreliable, that's why. The DoD had to twist SpaceX's arms into continuing to serve Ukraine with Starlink, all it takes is some random politician invoking some national security concern (as the US often does) and poof, no more internet in rural Canada. That's why this is a good national security project. There's also the misunderstanding here that the government pays for anything... this is a loan with interests, not some handout. Those types of loans exist to prop up local industry and to keep industrial capital, intellectual capital and skilled workers in the country. There is legitimately nothing bad about this.
@@Not.a.bird.Person so we have to pay more for this. Remember too the ownership is American.
Trudeau is incapable of not screwing up every thing he touches. Most every day people could not screw up as much as he has it’s unbelievable.
No to Teiesat! I do not agree to giving taxpayers money to Teiesat when Canadians can’t afford food! I’m in a rural area and StarLink works great.
Pretty typical of our current Government. How much more of their "investing in Canadians" can we afford...?
Turdy now plans to give $10 BILLION of the Canadian Pension Plan to his buddy, Shardy Carney, "to invest" in one of his (Carney's) investment portfolios! Bet both of them pocket a hugh "finder's fee" for that transaction and the next generation of Canadians will have no CPP
This is our money.
Agree, Trudeau spend it, we will have to refund it.
Another contract awarded to quebec with no other bids....Telesat has been losing share numbers over the past few years. BTW, the majority shareholders are American and not Canadian Trudeau....moreover Elon Musk is also Canadian.
I've never seen such a combination of complete incompetence and smugness in a government. Trudeau, Freeland, Miller, Fraser...etc etc....all completely inept, yet talk down to Canadians on a daily basis.
Get back to us with full name, gutless puke.
Great reporting Brian. This is about national security but is for 40,000 rural homes. Something does not compute.
Corrupt to the core!
Where is the money for our pension increase and housing??
Yet another reason for the Bloc t o give him really big hugs and kisses.
And to vote with him in the non confidence vote now that jagmeet has left.
In exchange for loads of taxpayers' money and special privileges for quebec. Disgusting
Over 3 billion to connect 40k homes. Wow talk about bang for your buck
Yeah, only $75k per house 😡
And folks wonder why we pay so much.. Rogers/Bell/Telus dont instal, power and maintain for free.
You realize constellations fly above more than just Canada? Even if this was only for 40k homes in Canada (and it's just factually not, this is just blatant misinformation about the use cases of such constellations), the constellation can deliver services across the entire planet. Do you think Starlink only offers services to the US?
It's also not 3B$, it's 2.1B$ from the federal government and the remaining 400M$ portion comes from the provincial government of Quebec because the facility to build those satellites is in Montreal.
The only thing going Bang is Canada’s bank account managed by the Trudeau Liberal government
Corruption continues. No checks or balances. Follow the money...
Telesat CEO Dan Goldberg is friends with Mark Carney.
I have Starlink in northern Canada and it work’s awesome
It sure does!
Elon Musk is Canadian he’s his prime minster too.
Elon Musk is global in an altruistic way!❤❤!
He 's not the sharpest knife in the drawer.... But, it's not his money after all. It's the tax payer's money, Yours and mine! It's fiscally abhorrent to pay twice as much than what another company can provide at a significantly lower price and with much better quality mind you. It's a no brainer if you care about the Canadian citizens. However we know what Trudeau thinks of us.
Yeah but then how is he gonna launder the other half to payout his cronies and go on Vacation
Please Please keep up the great reporting !
jail him
Wellllll , because Elon won't launder the funds for the Great Leader .
He also constantly exposes him.
Elon is a patriot and for the people.
Trudeau must go
Permanently!
It’s funny because last month I ordered star link and until now I never knew Telesat was even “trying” to be a competitor.
It might be.a winning issue in Quebec and help him keep support. In the end, its just the same old play that the Liberals always do, which is to shower Quebec with money at the expense of the rest of the country.
The lack of competition, and low populations numbers combined with the large coverage area in our consumer communications is why we have such high prices. If you want to give this contract to another company who will only service Canada, we will be in the same boat again. There will be little doubt that the monthly costs will be far higher than Starlink. Starlink already has a huge user base which keeps costs down. It's a no brainer.
Elon Musk already provides this service to 200,000 Canadian customers which is why he could do the job for half the price. But Turdy is jealous of Elon.
Brian just said pver 400k
Large coverage area and low population is a weak excuse. Australia pays half what we pay and that’s a massive country with the bulk of its population in a few cities that are nowhere near each other. Finland, Sweden, Norway all pay a fraction what Canadians pay, and they all deal with similar conditions. But you said “the lack of competition” there’s where our problem lies! We have (soon to be) 2 telecom companies that work together to drive prices up, rather than compete to drive prices down. If they ever allow foreign companies to compete in this market, you watch Telus and Roger’s dramatically drop their prices in order to retain costumers. I for one will be with AT&T (or whomever) as fast as I can. Even if Telus does drop their prices to below what AT&T can do. I’ll be gone immediately. For the simple reason that Telus has absolutely ripped me off for 20 years.
@@SecretAgentMan. Australia is nowhere near as big as Canada. Neither are any of the other other countries you have listed, in fact the last 3 are not even close to the same size. I'm not denying the current canadian telecom companies dont have a part in keeping costs high, but comparing European counties and Canada doesnt work. I do agree with you, I welcome any US telecom companies to set up in Canada. I try to support Canadian business but how can one support a business thats been Fking Canadians for years.
i pray each night please give us an early election to kick out the pompous princess
Can we vote Quebec out. Provinces in favour..?
If I had any say then yes!
Please include Toronto. Canadas first 3rd world city.
On behalf of BC, I vote for Quebec to separate from the rest of Canada.
It’s called shoring up the balance sheet so they can be listed! Then it’s called Gov funded business that can’t compete!!!
Supporting telesat, is supporting Trudea
Taxpayers are used to build a project, then the political parties sell it off. This has been going on for a long time, BUT!!! Think about it, does a political party have the right to sell anything that has been paid for by the taxpayers? Not without the taxpayers permission. So why is this not a big topic or is it that everyone has been blinded into thinking that a politician has the right to do so because they were voted in. How crazy is that? Where does this thinking come from?
This is what Trudo mean when he said his Lieberal party are investing for Canadians! Another example of hard earned tax payers money down the drain!
funneled into the drain called quebec
Brian, this is one of your best-made cases ever. 👏Outstanding.
Don't stop here. Please keep hammering on it.
PM Peter Pan is just trashing our country. He and his finance minister Tinkerbell.
Trudeau doesn't care about Canada or Canadians just his rich cronies .Why doesn't every Canadian see this? Elon Musk is Canadian last I checked. Trudeau is good at one thing,spending other people's money.
I just checked and he's got dual citizenship with US and Canada.
Good information…..I will be switching to Starlink now.
A way to steal from taxpayers
Isn’t Trudeau tired of getting caught in these scandals yet? Time to go!
this is a nail in the coffin for Liberals; discriminate against Canadian Mr Musk! wow...
Are they nuts
If it's run by the government or supported by the government you know it's a failing proposition.
Remember also that $50.00 American is about $1500.00 Canadian 😢😢😢
We have Starlink. Rural community in Nova Scotia. It's great. Got tired of overpaying Bell for pathetic service.
Absolutely Right! Thank You
You are awesome Brian. I share something from your channel almost every day. That doesn't mean I always agree with you but so what? There is no one I agree with all the time and you and I agree most of the time and that's great.
Do you want Communism Quebec and Ontario? You got communism
The whole of canada has communism whether we like it, or asked for it, or not. Very disturbing.
The amount of $ this government has wasted would make any person go grey
That sure sounds like an American company to me. Why are they getting my tax money again? Why does the government not have to ask voters where to spend Our money.
I DID NOT KNOW Musk was Canadian.. wow did we lose out when he left
Ouch this is a painful and clear representation of how our government operates. What a waste.
If this Liberal party was offered a complementary cup of coffee they’d find a way to pay three times the cost of it using taxpayer money somehow write it off as a business expense, and pocket the reimbursement. Sick of this sh*t.
Follow the money. Who is Trudeau related to, or friends with?
Kickbacks
Who does Trudeau want to prop up in that company? Follow the money!
it's time this PM and his thugs get removed permanently
We as Canadians could come together and agree to stop paying taxes until the government is held accountable and fiscally responsible!
Any truth that the carbon tax carny has his mitts in Telesat ,, it came up in committee yesterday ??
Very astute question, please investigate
Here we go again...
If Elon makes a cell companies and internet sign me up! We need our privacy and money protected.
Of course they are. No desire to reduce CDN bureaucracy and control over media, the Internet etc…
Trudy getting trolled by Musk... how funny😂
Trudeau just being what he is best, a lil snot
Find out who's connected to him and paying him back?
Truduh control of us Canadians is slowing coming to an end . He wants to control what we watch and listen to .
Pro free speech Musk vs woke anti free speech Trudeau
Who are the major Canadian shareholders?
Dig through police court case witness lists and you’ll have 76% of them
None. It is traded on the NYSE and most are Americans
More than 80% of shareholders are American.
I was told Carney has shares
@@skimoredays Seems my comment was deleted, make a list of witnesses in court cases and witness testimonies and you’ll have 76% of them
More corporate welfare for Trudeau beloved Quebec
Elon don’t give up on Canada
no he will not as HE is a Patriot not J.T. and his entourage...we are aware of that!
The lesser of 2 evils.
Prime Minister is not worried about all Canadians citizens only for his friends. it is a shame that he is not prime minister for all of us. We have to vote next election what is good to all of us!!!!Thanks for your honesty sir.
PLEASE publish the cost per subscriber metrics for both alternatives: TELESAT and STARLINK - for all Canadian taxpayers to see exactly what's going on.
Start link.I have heard about them.
Oh yeah it's that canadian guy elon mustn't runs it or owns it
Thanks Brian for approaching it from an investment perspective. Paying double is stupid no matter what! It just doesn't make sense.
Trudeau couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag
Trudy’s never seen a dollar he didn’t want to double to spend
