Carney says Canada is ‘the most European of non-European countries’

A growing number of Canadians are interested in joining the European Union (EU) despite rising patriotism.

A recent Abacus Data poll indicates nearly half of Canadians are in favour of joining the EU.The survey was conducted from February 20-25, with a sample of 1,500 Canadian adults.

Canada’s false new nationalism: Mark Carney is the quintessential Davos Man

During his 1969 visit to the United States, Canada’s then-Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau held a news conference at which he described his American hosts in a memorable analogy. “Living next to you”, he said, “is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt”.

The phrase “sleeping with an elephant” has come to define US-Canadian relations in the minds of many Canadians. But since President Trump launched his second term in the Oval Office, the elephant has been neither friendly nor even-tempered. In fact, its twitches and grunts have recently become more like angry kicks and menacing roars, especially with Trump’s imposition of a 25% tariff on most goods from Canada.

Adam Pankratz: Of course the Liberals would brag about cancelling their own carbon tax

“Mark Carney got it done.” Let those four words wash over you and savour them. Linger on their delicious cynicism. What, you might ask is so momentous the Liberal Party would tweet out these five words as though the Messiah once again walked the earth? Was it his crushing Liberal leadership win? No. Was it his swearing in to official become Canada’s 24th Prime Minister? Try again. No, it was his signing of an order to “cancel” the Carbon Tax, a move of self-absorbed political narcissism the likes of which we may never see again.

A banker like Mark Carney? Don’t the Liberals hate his type?

Remember when the Liberal Party of Canada loathed bankers? And bankers like Mark Carney thought politicians were “circus clowns”? Liberals don’t. They just elected Canada’s most famous banker, Mr. Carney, as their party’s Leader and now Prime Minister.

Mr. Carney did not just head two central banks. Before that he had proved himself as an investment banker toiling for 13 years at the golden temple of global investment banking, Wall Street’s Goldman Sachs, a bank known for its “extreme profitability and market prowess.” He parleyed that into success at the Bank of Canada and later, at the Bank of England, cutting the most unique path to Prime Minister in Canada’s history.

Poilievre says he’ll scrap carbon levy on industrial emitters and consumers if elected defeating Carney’s lie

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he will scrap the carbon levy on industrial emitters as well as the consumer carbon levy.

In video statement released Monday, Mr. Poilievre says if elected to govern in the upcoming election, his government would repeal the entire carbon price law, including the tax on Canadian businesses and industries.

This means there would not be a levy on Canadian steel, aluminum, food production, concrete and other industries, he said.

Michael Taube: If you think Carney will be different from Trudeau, you’re mistaken

“Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.” This memorable line from The Who’s “Won’t Get Fooled Again” has been used in various ways for over 50 years. As Mark Carney, the newly-elected Liberal leader and now prime minister takes over from Justin Trudeau, we can add this side-by-side comparison to the discussion.

For if you think the former Bank of England and Bank of Canada governor will be vastly different from his predecessor, you’re only fooling yourself.

Pierre Poilievre has a bigger problem than Mark Carney. Much bigger

If Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives lose the next federal election, it will not be because the Liberals changed leaders. It will be because the narrative of the election changed, and Poilievre couldn’t find the right role for himself in the new story.

There are really only three roles in any narrative: the hero, the villain and the victim. When advising clients in crisis communications, we emphasize the importance of understanding which of these roles fits best for the purposes of public perception. Depending on the narrative, a person or organization in the middle of a crisis can make any of the three work well for them.


Valid questions raised but I suspect Carney is enjoying his Kamala Bump phase aided by the Left’s own distaste for Soiled-Himself Singh.

Carney stinks of WEF and is a committed globalist profiteer.

I suspect he will reheat his bromance with Xi and that may restore sanity to those currently conned by the ginned-up “Can’t be a Patriot without believing in the Great Annexation Scare”.

It’s not Brexit to blame for today’s inflation, Mr Carney, but you

SINCE Mark Carney became Canada’s Prime Minister-designate, much has been written about his stellar career, from Oxford PhD via Goldman Sachs to central bank supremo, first as Governor of the Bank of Canada (2007-2013) and Governor of the Bank of England from May 2013 to March 2020.

Before anyone jumps to the conclusion that Canada’s economy post Pierre Trudeau’s bizarre and destructive reign is in safe hands should perhaps think again. Carney is equally ideological as became evident during his pro-Green tenure in the UK. Today, as a reminder, we republish Ewen Stewart’s response to the deluded banker’s claim in 2023 that Brexit was to blame for inflation. No, says Stewart, it was Carney.

Nothing should be off the table when it comes to Canada-U.S. trade, says former Trump ambassador

Carney and unregistered lobbyist.

Donald Trump’s former ambassador to the European Union says nothing should be off the table when it comes to Canada-U.S. trade discussions and that the U.S. president wants immediate change on his irritants like dairy and auto manufacturing.

“You cannot have fair and multilateral trade by someone saying that something is not up for grabs,” Gordon Sondland said in an interview on Rosemary Barton Live on Sunday. “Everything is up for grabs. Everything.”

This is why Doug Ford is so buddy-buddy with Mark Carney. Where does that leave Pierre Poilievre?

Power breakfasts aren’t on the menu at Wally’s Grill most days.

The Etobicoke diner does scrambled eggs for everyday folks. It rarely unscrambles big problems for big politicians.

So when Doug Ford sat down this week with Mark Carney, he set the table for an unlikely alliance: Canada’s most powerful Tory and the country’s most powerful Liberal getting together to start a new day.
