Ottawa is replacing former broadcast journalist Tom Clark as consul general to New York City.
The Trudeau government appointed the former CTV and Global journalist to the post in 2023.
The Tories criticized the appointment and Clark was called in to a House of Commons committee to answer questions about Ottawa’s decision to buy a $9-million luxury condominium in Manhattan.

I don’t pay much attention to politics, but Trudeau ,he was the young fella they had running the Country for a while.
I remember him now.A little light in the loafers he was.Sharp as a stick of warm butter as well.
This Carney, I don’t know much about him.Seems a bit of a Bawbag though
They like it in the butt, is that how they get those nice jobs?
Why? Isn’t our relationship with the US done? Are we not moving to the EU? What in the hell is going on Carney? Oh right, your beloved Brookfield headquarters is in New York. The corruption runs long and deeo. More wasted taxpayer money, kids, grandkids, great grandkids stuck with this absolutely outrageous deficit and you can’t stop spending.
Consul offices are taking on the site marks of political bone yards.
The corruption spreads..
