The former CTV journalist who famously posed a question to Canada's scandal-plagued Prime Minister about his haircare was recently appointed to be the Consulate General of Canada in New York. 

As one of Canada’s most respected journalists, Tom Clark covered politics, economics, and more – and he developed a deep understanding of our country and its position in the world. As our new Consul General in New York, he’ll use that experience to continue serving Canadians. pic.twitter.com/73JIuvc77w

That's a lot of shampoo. 

Meet Tom Clark. He was a pro-Liberal journalist for years, until he became a registered lobbyist. Trudeau trusts him enough to put him in charge of CBC hiring.

So why on earth did the @CPC_HQ choose him to moderate their leadership debate? pic.twitter.com/OCCxgJxTlP

After he left journalism, Clark became a registered lobbyist for Global Public Affairs.

According to the order in council, who made the appointment official:

Her Excellency the Governor General in Council, on the recommendation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, appoints Tom Clark as Consul General of Canada in New York (United States of America), with concurrent accreditation as non-resident Consul General of Canada in Bermuda, and fixes his remuneration and certain conditions of employment as set out in the annexed schedule, which salary is within the range ($174,802 - $205,650), effective February 27, 2023.

Clark was bizarrely selected by the Conservative Party of Canada to moderate the party's last leadership debate, wherein his biting inquiries to candidates included "what TV are you binging?" and "what books are you reading?"

Tom Clark shows just how little he knows about Conservative or western issues. "Who would pay for the pipelines?" The pipeline companies have always paid for them, until Trudeau nationalized one. But an Ottawa Liberal lobbyist has no clue, and doesn't care. What a clownshow.
