Mark Carney’s sales pitch to Canadians is that he is an economist and the man who saved two economies in crisis.
But his claims don’t really live up to scrutiny, including a claim that he made on Thursday while responding to Trump’s latest tariffs.
I get a sense that Carney believes his honeymoon is permanent and Canadians will uncritically eat any shit he offers.
… At the eye of the storm is the Liberal Party of Canada and its new leader, Prime Minister Mark Carney. Many would argue that in the past decade, the Liberal government under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau increasingly empowered antisemitic elements. In the name of “diversity”, “equity” and “inclusion”, it has encouraged extreme radical ideologies and runaway antisemitism. It has failed to act decisively against imams who call for the shedding of Jewish blood. It has ignored incitement on university campuses, tolerated the spread of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish libels and defamation through public broadcasters that it funds. In the process, it has encouraged antisemitic opinions to intensify and be legitimized.
Liberal Leader Mark Carney said on Friday that his government would provide an initial $150-million annual funding increase to CBC and Radio-Canada as part of a new mandate for the public broadcaster.
“When we compare ourselves to the U.K., France or Germany, we see that our public broadcaster is underfunded,” Carney said in French during a campaign stop in Montreal. “That has to change.”
That initial funding top-up could rise, Carney said.

“Mr. Carney, at the teachers conference not long ago, you told about a program you have working at the Joseph B. Tyrrell (JBT) school in Fort Smith for culturally retarded children,” the host began. “First of all, would you define a culturally retarded child for me?”
The reply was unequivocal and direct.
“A culturally retarded child in the context of the Northwest Territories is a child from a Native background who for various reasons has not been in regular attendance in school,” said Carney.
Liberal MP Paul Chiang said something profoundly unpardonable. Liberal Leader Mark Carney was perfectly content to pardon him for it. But public outrage ensued, so Chiang fell on his sword and resigned. End of story.
Except it isn’t the end of the story. It’s only going to get darker from here on in, as China waits, hopes and plans for Canada to return to the Trudeau-era embrace of the motherland.
Chinese News (posting under 大中生活 on WeChat) releases a glowing endorsement of Mark Carney. It’s described as being headquartered in Toronto, with a Chinese Canadian audience of 800,000.

Canada’s universities and colleges risk losing their way as schools increasingly prioritize international recruitment over their core duty to educate Canadian students.
What began as a push for cultural exchange has morphed into a system described as a “visa-for-cash” model, sidelining domestic learners and straining school communities as third-world students try to impose their backward values.
Is there a “there” there when it comes to Canada’s newest PM? I just read his 600-page book and still have no idea
The Right Honourable Mark Carney is now Canada’s prime minister; and since he has neither held elected office nor spent much of the past years in Canada, we must turn elsewhere to divine his views about the country of which he is now the leader, as well as his outlook on the world more broadly.
No one calls out globalist politicians better than Marjorie Taylor-Greene. In 2024 the US congresswoman won her second landslide election, and she now chairs the influential DOGE subcommittee.
On Taylor-Green’s website she puts it straight: “Our government is supposed to work for the American people, not foreign nations.” She says one of her country’s biggest problem is that “globalist politicians in Washington, D.C. continue to put the American people last by putting their interests and the interests of other countries first.”
Canada may still be reeling from a bout of political and diplomatic shock—call it Post-Disruption Stress Disorder (PDSD)—following the April 2 announcement in the Rose Garden by President Trump.
But for both Canada and Mexico, the news was less damaging than feared. Despite the sweeping “Liberation Day” tariffs unveiled that day, our two nations were spared. So were American grocery shoppers.
Yes, poor gullible, fearful Canada. You were played.
Not by U.S. President Donald Trump. You were played by power-seeking politicians in this country. You were played by many in the press in this country.
Reality came to call one day after the date set aside for playing jokes on people.
Chicken Little was wrong. The sky isn’t falling. Canada’s end times are not upon us.
It’s not quite a presidential pardon, but we could call it a reprieve. Canada didn’t get any additional tariffs as U.S. President Donald Trump celebrated what he called “Liberation Day.”
Trump has been talking about new tariffs on Canada for months; he even went on a rant during his Rose Garden ceremony about how he sees Canada’s dairy industry as ripping off American farmers.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s mindless, and frankly pointless, comments about Canada becoming the 51st state have stirred up latent Canadian patriotism . But it also may result in Canada, which is already economically moribund, further aligning itself with the permanent European Union bureaucracy.
A tilt towards Europe would be natural for Liberal Leader Mark Carney , the former pre-Brexit head of the Bank of England. He’s an advocate of the very environmental, social and economic policies that have led the EU — and, to some extent, Canada — into economic and social decline.
If we look past all the name-calling, scandals and competing tax cuts, this election fundamentally comes down to one question: do Canadians trust the Liberals to do now what they have failed to do over the past decade? Judging by the party’s newly released housing plan, the answer should be a resounding “no.”
By any measure, Mark Carney’s resume is impressive. Mostly from Wikipedia, he was born in 1965, the son of a high school principal. The family moved from the Northwest Territories to Edmonton where his father was a Liberal candidate in the 1980 Canadian federal election. His mother returned to university to pursue a career in education when Carney was 10. He has an older brother and sister and a younger brother.
Despite an eventual resignation, the initial decision by Liberal Leader Mark Carney to back a candidate after learning he had made light of a Chinese government bounty on the head of a Conservative rival has diaspora community advocates on the front lines of the foreign interference threat saying they’ve lost confidence in the party’s commitment to protect them from transnational repression.
Yet, while Paul Chiang, the incumbent Liberal candidate in Markham-Unionville, Ont., eventually announced late on March 31 he would be standing aside so as not to “cause a distraction in this critical moment,” his delayed departure and Carney’s initial confidence have already caused damage.
