Frank McKenna: Justin Trudeau’s Man Behind the Oil Sands

1. I love how they showed a steam stack leading on peole to think it's a big stack pumping out carbon

2. One of my classes at université de Moncton was with Frank McKenna. I have nothing but fond memories of the times I hung out with him. Looking forward to seeing him again sometime even though I was the PC candidate for Moncton East the second time McKenna became Premier of New Brunswick, sweeping the election again with another huge majority. With Frank McKenna what you see is what you get. He’s a straight shooter and a supercool person. 🌎

3. Noe Leotards and Con-serve the Rothschild are two different heads on the same bipolar disorder coin. These people are all criminally insane. Shoot first ask questions later. We Canadians can borrow hollow point bullets obumanation bought for the 30 year war against North America.

4. Real news is that climate change doesn't exist. Now these fools all work for the Rothschild family and their banksters. How governce of more than one organization at a time gets you out of the appearance of being bribed is what truly is going on here. This reporting is just another Rothschild plot of disinformation.

5. Thanks for this piece, it confirms what some of us already knew. McKenna and the Irvings have had a lot of influence on the country economically & politically while trying to fly under the radar. Neoliberalism's poster boy.

6. The Bushes and the Clinton’s have been engaged in tons of financial partnerships. They are both as terribly corrupt.

7. Trudeau is a POSER! He can't fight OIL INTERESTS, or they WILL KILL HIM! He can dance like an idiot if he likes, but it does NOT change THAT FACT!

8. LOL The Irvings are Canada's Koch Brothers!

9. I think it's important to point out that Frank McKenna proved to be a master at gaslighting during his years as premier of New Brunswick. His tactic was to attack the granny state of the 1970's, with some justification, I must admit. Having discredited that form of government by claiming it had made people lazy, he then proceeded to describe poor struggling individuals as the authors of their own misfortune. He placed all the responsibility squarely on their own shoulders to overcome the real difficulties of their impoverished condition. He is the personification of neoliberalism.

   He never acknowledged the social contract between government and the people. He never admitted the impact of wealth inequality on the underprivileged. On the contrary, his attitude was the same as Hillary Clinton's, who called them a basket o f deplorables.

   Chris Hedges examines this phenomenon in his new book The Farewell Tour. He was on the Jimmy Dore show just recently. This very topic was discussed in the first few minutes in the second part of three segments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcH3_ssyX0o

   Frank McKenna is extremely opportunistic. He has not on his own created any wealth. He is merely riding on the coat tails of the very rich and powerful. He is exactly as this excellent short documentary byThe Real News has revealed; a fixer whose role is to bring corporate money and political power together.

10. Trudeau is a conservative not a liberal please use the definition that applies instead of the one they claim.

11. Frank McKenna wins elections even though he has come from a humble family. That means he is popular and people want him. TheRealNews lefties do not get public support. So, they are so hurt. These lefties are self-righteous zealots and arrogant.

12. wow… an out and out hit piece. i had thought better of "real news". i have no love (or even like) for mckenna but this one-sided "journalism" might as well be green peace propoganda. i encourange anyone who sees this to view it with a very critical eye.

13. great job

14. Thank-you very much for this program; the most important in today's media by a large margin. I am a Atlantic Canadian and lived in Frank McKenna's riding when he was an opposition member in the New Brunswick legislature in the early 80's. This report brings back personal not so good memories. The Kinder-Morgan purchase by the Justin Trudeau Liberal Government with public money is demonstration of the hypocrisy of the political system and an abuse of power. I will be watching to see what happens next in this story. …. Standing Rock II.

15. Neo Libs are on the same path as the GOP in the US. Death is to good for them.

16. Justin Trudeau is a fraud (and a groper to boot.) I fear the conservatives rising to power in Canada, but I'll be damned if I'll give my vote again to this coiffed neoliberal twerp!

17. If looks said anything about that man, he's a crook.

18. ..plus he sounds like Jordan Peterson
