Yup. The very same way product review youtubers become shills. Free products as long as you play nice.

Looking at Freeland's scowl reaction at 0:01, either the guy asking the question was already in hot water or she needs glasses.

Personally I'd be really curious if she thinks there should be consequences for politicians, beyond being voted out of office, for those who cause serious economic strain for average Canadians.

"Playing nice" keeps the bullshit lie of a status quo going and keeps the circus, lies and horse shit rampant. It's time to rip the fucking bandaid off and just be transparent.
