Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

OTTAWA — In the first weeks of the campaign, Liberal incumbent Helena Jaczek said decided voters she met at the doors were intent on voting for Mark Carney because they thought he was the best person to deal with U.S. President Donald Trump.

“As time went on and Mr. Trump was less vocal, and perhaps as (Conservative Leader Pierre) Poilievre softened his image somewhat during debates, I think then a lot of the people who hadn’t given the election much thought decided they really had to concentrate,” she said in a recent interview with National Post.

WE HAVE just had an extremely depressing Canadian election. The Liberal Party secured a fourth consecutive term of government, despite falling short of an overall majority, and Mark Carney is confirmed as Canadian Prime Minister.

This is in some ways an unlikely victory. Justin Trudeau, the previous Liberal Prime Minister, had become a widely mocked and despised figure, so much so that he lost the support of key allies and ended up having to resign.

New separatist movements threaten to rain on the Liberals’ parade.

In an election that seemed all but guaranteed to land Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives in government, Canada instead re-elected Mark Carney’s Liberal Party for another four years. Carney, former governor of the Bank of England, first became Canadian prime minister in March, taking over from the scandal-mired Justin Trudeau. The increasingly unpopular Liberals were set to be overthrown by the populist-leaning Poilievre, until US president Donald Trump’s threats to annex the country. This derailed the national discourse and caused liberal-left voters to rally behind Carney.

On Mark Carney’s final day of a gruelling race to be elected PM of vast and sparsely populated Canada I was with him.

It was his last push, not just to win, but also to get the majority he said he needed to stand up to the chaotic territorial and trade ambitions of his “neighbour to the south”.

For someone who had got to see Carney as a cerebral technocrat, a crisis-managing central bank governor a decade ago, the transformation into public orator was quite something.

I recall endless interviews trying to get the then governor to say something newsworthy, or something that would make a good headline.

‘Prime Minister Mark Carney will probably resurrect the Online Harms Act.’

The freight train of authoritarianism and censorship under the Carney Liberals is barrelling down the political tracks — and it’s far more serious than Alberta’s discontent within confederation or a possible sovereignty referendum.

It’s highly likely Prime Minister Mark Carney will resurrect the federal Online Harms Act Bill C-63 — a terrifying piece of legislation that will drive Canada toward the U.K.’s dystopia, where thousands have been arrested for “offensive” speech violations, primarily on social media.

Economists, commentators and casual observers alike predicted that the election of Prime Minister Mark Carney would do the economy more harm than good — and it seems that they’re already being proven right.

On Tuesday, Fitch Ratings, one of the great deciders of how much interest Canada pays on its debt, flapped a warning flag in our faces for electing Prime Minister Mark Carney the night before.

Carney and co. will rape Canada.

The Liberals won the federal election on Monday partly as a result of the perception that Prime Minister Mark Carney will move his government back to the political centre and be more responsible with taxpayer dollars. But in fact, according to his fiscal plan, he doesn’t think his predecessor, Justin Trudeau, was spending and borrowing enough.

To recap, the Trudeau government recorded 10 consecutive budget deficits, racked up $1.1-trillion in debt and recorded the six highest-spending years (per person, adjusted for inflation) in Canadian history from 2018 to 2023. Last fall, it projected large deficits (and $400-billion in additional debt) over the next four years, including a $42.2-billion deficit this fiscal year.

With Canada’s 2025 election campaign now over, Canadians can breathe a sigh of relief that we no longer have to hear Mike Myers and Prime Minister Mark Carney give us our daily TV reminder to keep our “elbows up” against U.S. President Donald Trump.

Carney largely rode on a wave of anti-Trump sentiment to earn a fourth consecutive Liberal term in government.

It’s a verdict that’s rapidly embedding itself as the answer to the riddle of the Liberal party’s revival from its vegetative state as recently as last December to this week’s election-day comeback, only a handful of seats shy of a majority in the House of Commons: Party standard-bearer Mark Carney owes his triumph to Donald Trump.

The notion is particularly popular in the United States. In Democratic party circles, especially, Canadians have lately become celebrated as plucky allies in the gallant resistance to their daft president’s jingoistic threats to break all the rules of global neoliberalism, annexing Canada along with Greenland in the bargain.
