Not going to happen.
The journalist picked their title. I did not. That you object to it is your issue, not mine.

Actually, I have no issue with Trudeau criticism. If you don't like the idea of the Liberals using CPP as a means to fund things, that's legit.
Had you titled this "Liberals to use CPP for federal funding," I'd actually question nothing. Especially if you followed it up with your opinion on the matter. Instead you go with the provocative title and then disingenuously feed into it further with your post using innuendo that this was some secret that wasn't meant to get out. Not a direct quote from a senior Liberal to a media member that they are openly looking into this, and that this is a pretty common thing to do.
I don't object to your title. I just don't believe you when you say that it was to "Generate discussion on the CPP use."

Because they usually go to private companies or the Government has to take out a loan to do them. The thought is CPP is a giant, untouched pool of money. The government can give these contracts to the CPP which won't cost them money and then the CPP remakes the money on the tolls and other money generating schemes created on this infrastructure instead of a private company.
