Prime Minister Mark Carney, sworn in Friday, has a history with the World Economic Forum (WEF.) He is a member of its foundation board, the organization’s highest governing body, which oversees strategic direction. We may assume therefore, that he is in sympathy with the goals of the World Economic Forum.
A review of corporate documents reveals that Brookfield—the influential $900 billion Canadian investment fund from which Liberal Prime Minister-to-be Mark Carney stepped away from in order to replace Justin Trudeau as Canada’s leader—maintains over $3 billion in politically sensitive investments with Chinese state-linked real estate and energy companies, along with a substantial offshore banking presence. One of its major real estate ventures, a $750 million entry into high-end Shanghai commercial property in 2013, involved a Hong Kong tycoon affiliated with the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC)—which the CIA labels a central “united front” entity of Beijing.

Napoleon Bonaparte is believed to have said, “I found the crown of France in the gutter. I picked it up with the tip of my sword and cleaned it, and the people of France placed it atop my head.”
In the end, Old Boney lost. But boy, did he sure give it the old college try.
I recently received the following series of rhetorical exhortations from a friend who, like many Canadians, is unable to discuss President Donald Trump rationally. He wrote: “Imagine America deporting an academic from Columbia University for criticizing Israel. Imagine a President who repeats every morning that he is at war with Canada with the intent to achieve Anschluss. Imagine an American population that stands meekly by as its president acts as a dictator, internally and globally, no check, no balance, no accountability. Compare the quality of leadership in America with that of Russia and China these days.”
OTTAWA — During his leadership-race victory speech on Sunday, now Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney went off-script to take a shot at Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.
“I know the leader of the Opposition is into full disclosure,” he quipped, gesticulating with his hands and raising his eyebrows, an apparent retort to Poilievre and the Conservatives’ criticism of Brookfield Asset Management’s decision to move its head office from Toronto to New York, last year, when Carney was still its chair.
Let’s begun by debunking the myth – aided and abetted by the liberal media – that Prime Minister Mark Carney killed carbon pricing on Friday through a cabinet decree.
The most egregious example of this was buried in a CBC report on Thursday that Carney was “once a proponent of carbon pricing” implying he no longer is, which is an example of media disinformation of the type CBC is constantly warning us about.
Prime Minister Mark Carney should review a series of future appointments made by his predecessor’s government and shouldn’t automatically accept them, Green Party Co-Leader Elizabeth May said Friday.
In an interview with CBC News, May said appointments have to be filled but it was “a huge mistake” to make so many of those appointments in the final days of Justin Trudeau’s government.
“Any last-minute appointments of people who, I’m pretty sure, are likely to be Liberals, raises the worst possible political optics and it reinforces the idea that Trudeau was aiding and abetting his cronies throughout.”
New prime minister Mark Carney didn’t go out of his way to be a champion for women with his cabinet choices unveiled at Rideau Hall on Friday — and that could be a deliberate effort to walk back what critics called the “woke” feminist brand of Justin Trudeau.
It might also be a reflection of how Carney has been leaning on a team heavily weighted with male advisers, as many have observed since his leadership campaign launched.
The Star is already running damage control for Carney.
A similar Conservative cabinet would be described as a new Dark Age descending upon our blighted land.
It’s fortunate for Poilievre the Liberal media continues to overplay its hand with biased reporting.
Friday morning in Ottawa, long-Liberal-wooed Mark Carney was finally sworn in as prime minister. Before the ceremony began, his X account posted: “Today, we’re building a government that meets the moment. Canadians expect action — and that’s what this team will deliver. A smaller, experienced cabinet that moves faster, secures our economy, and protects Canada’s future.”
Faced with tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, some countries have, so far, responded by turning the other cheek, and not retaliating with their own duties.
Canada, however, continues to hit back in the trade war with its neighbour to the south. But it also raises the question of whether Canada absorbing the blows from U.S. tariffs, while painful, might be preferable to the overall economic damage from a full-scale trade conflict.
It’s an issue, perhaps unsurprisingly, on which economists have varying views. Some say Canada has no choice but to retaliate, even if imposing tariffs on U.S. goods will increase prices for Canadians. But others suggest those moves may have little impact on the U.S.
The people who flooded Canada with cheap foreign labour to undercut worker wages are the same people who shipped your job overseas at the first opportunity under free trade agreements.
Now these same folks, who only ever have your best interests at heart, want you to believe that all tariffs anytime not just Trump’s are Satan’s handiwork.
This is why I regard our current annexation hysteria with its accompanying ready-to-assemble Ikea flat pack patriotism loyalty oath kits with a jaundiced eye.
We need a Trump.
Why Tariffs Are Good
The claim that tariffs are inherently misguided and inevitably harmful does not stand up to scrutiny, especially when it comes to U.S. trade with China

OTTAWA — With the swipe of a sharpie, Prime Minister Mark Carney reduced the price of the consumer carbon tax rate to zero, meaning Canadians will no longer be paying it on fuels. In doing so, he also neutralized one of the Liberals’ most unpopular policies before a widely expected election call.
OTTAWA — The office of Canada’s independent Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) took the unusual step of putting out a factual update on Thursday, after critics, including Liberal Energy Minister Jonathan Wilkinson, questioned the findings of a PBO analysis linking the proposed federal emissions cap to deep job losses.
Canada, meet your new prime minister.
For the first time in history, Canada has a prime minister who has never held elected office.
Mark Carney – a banker, a globalist, and a WEF insider – was simply appointed.
And what else? He claims to be Catholic!
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to receive between $1 million and $2 million from federal archives to acquire his personal papers as he exits office.
Blacklcok’s Reporter says the payout follows a long-standing practice of spending taxpayer money to preserve the records of former leaders.

New Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney shut down President Trump’s talk of Canada potentially becoming the U.S.’s 51st state, characterizing it as “crazy” and vowing the North American neighbor will remain independent.
Carney, a former Bank of Canada and Bank of England governor who was sworn in as Canada’s leader on Friday, succeeding his predecessor Justin Trudeau, said Canada and the U.S. are “fundamentally different” nations and that Ottawa “expects respect from America and Trump.”
“We will never in any way, shape or form be a part of the U.S. America is not Canada,” Carney said.
