Has there ever been a politician who has been worse at telling untruths, mistruths and falsehoods than Liberal Leader Mark Carney? Yes, yes, they all twist facts to suit whatever nonsense they are pushing on a given day, they omit important details that contradict their claims and they imply their opponents are guilty of the most heinous of crimes. But Carney is unique in that he is a virtual fountain of claims and comments that are easily disprovable.
Twenty alleged senior members of the Iranian regime have now been found living in Canada, immigration officials confirmed amid an election debate on how best to deal with the Islamic republic.
The most recent is an Iranian citizen scheduled to go before the Immigration and Refugee Board in June after the Canada Border Services Agency accused him of having served as a top official in Tehran.
Tell me the Liberal government isn’t complicit.
This is it. Canada’s federal election is Monday, and it’s vitally important that Canadians are made aware of the threat that they’re up against at the ballot box: a Carney-Ford alliance that’s not just a betrayal of both Conservative and classical Liberal values, but a potential death knell for Canada’s recovery.
This may well be our last shot to stop the decline, so let’s not mince words.
YIKES! @fancypants_s https://t.co/wXsawklitI

Canadians have been able to watch the Liberal leader up close during the election campaign. Many don’t like what they see
Monday will bring an end to one of the most volatile election campaigns in Canada’s history. The conclusion could potentially be even more astonishing. Liberal prime minister Mark Carney may be about to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
On some levels, it shouldn’t even be close. Pierre Poilievre and the Canadian Conservatives had maintained a huge lead in the polls for over two years. The gap with the Liberals had extended to 20 or more points as recently as February, presaging a landslide victory for Poilievre.
Interesting …
Seems to be lots of sketchy stuff going on with @Polymarket this was from last month.

Taxpayers can’t hope that any of the major parties in Monday’s election will balance the budget soon, not even the Conservatives.
Indeed, in most Western democracies politicians of all stripes have given up on the idea of making expenditures equal revenues. The best that can be hoped for is reducing the debt-to-GDP ratio.
What do you suppose it is like to be Michael Ignatieff right now? Gosh, he must really think the good Lord has it out for him. In 2006, as a stylish liberal intellectual with a star reputation in Europe, he rolled up his sleeves and ran for the Commons seat in Etobicoke — Lakeshore. His ultimate ambitions were no secret, but he thought he had better learn the ropes first, get yelled at on a few doorsteps and absorb the sights and scents of an actual Canadian neighbourhood. In 2009, the suffering Liberals turned to him as a new leader and anointed saviour, with other dignitaries flinging themselves out of his path to make way.
It started with Justin Trudeau’s father, Pierre, who destroyed accountability in Ottawa.
Then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded to President Trump’s suggestion that the threat of tariffs might prompt Canada to spend more on defense and border protection with a dire prediction: “Canada cannot then survive as a nation state.” Mr. Trump then quipped that Canada might be better off as the 51st state. It was Mr. Trudeau’s flippant, pathetic comment that made a mockery out of Canada, not Mr. Trump’s response to it.
Canada is the second-largest country in the world by land mass, endowed with vast natural wealth. With a smaller population of 40 million compared with its southern neighbor’s roughly 340 million people, Canada contributed handily to the Allies’ victory in World War II. And Mr. Trudeau thought a tariff renegotiation could be the end of his country?
When Stephen Matthews votes in Canada’s election on Monday, the country’s cost of living will be at the forefront of his mind.
“I’m a lifelong Liberal but I’m definitely leaning Conservative,” he said as he picked up his iced coffee order at a Starbucks in the bellwether constituency of Peterborough about an hour’s drive from Toronto.
The country’s topsy turvy election has shifted one way and then another.
Deficits, deficits and more deficits.
That’s Liberal Leader Mark Carney’s plan when it comes to budgeting, as he hopes to lead the nation for the next four years.
Many Canadians are alarmed at the sheer scale at which the Liberals have piled up debt over the past decade. Since the Trudeau Liberals came to power in 2015, the federal debt has more than doubled.
The response to my recent column on the Liberal government’s quiet interest in taxing your home equity was predictable — but revealing.
Instead of engaging with the facts, many online commentators resorted to the usual routine: Hashtags, name-calling, shouting “fake news” into the void, and hurling emojis like they’re making a serious argument.
Let that sink in.
Liberal Party Leader Mark Carney’s strategy depends on being different from former prime minister Justin Trudeau.
When it comes to budget plans, Carney is not only different from Trudeau, he’s much worse.
Carney plans to add $225 billion to the federal debt over the next four years, according to his recently released platform.
In New York, Frank Sinatra says, they want to be a part of it. Chicago, he claims, has all that jazz. But it turns out Toronto is where people are going.
Toronto was the fastest-growing metropolitan area in Canada and the U.S. for the second consecutive year and saw an estimated population increase of nearly 269,000 people from July 2023 to July 2024, according to data from Statistics Canada and the U.S. Census Bureau.
… In 2021, 47 per cent of Toronto residents were born in Canada. According to the Census, there were 1,286,140 immigrants in Toronto, or 46.6 percent of the population. In Canada overall, immigrants made up 23.0 per cent of the population.
OTTAWA — Liberal Leader Mark Carney is admitting that U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated his threat to annex Canada to the United States during their call on March 28 despite claiming publicly at the time that Trump “respected Canada’s sovereignty.”
Carney has already lied about the fact..
– That he’s against carbon taxes
– That he saved the Canadian and British economies
– That he “just got here” and hasn’t been the backbone of the Liberal economic platform for years...Now even CTV is questioning his honesty ♂️. pic.twitter.com/8CRSXPUqJb

Long before he entered politics, Mark Carney was a full-throated supporter of social engineering via progressive policy. His platform, released Monday, has confirmed that his government will be no different in that regard than that of Justin Trudeau.
Carney’s plan shallowly pushes diversity both in form and in substance. Form-wise, his platform alleges itself to have been “reviewed through an equity lens using a GBA+ analysis,” meaning that for each commitment has been mulled over extensively by the privilege police.
The costed Conservative election platform released this week largely eschews the hyperpolarizing language that had defined Pierre Poilievre until recently. The word “broken” shows up seven times in the 30-page document, but nowhere does the Tory platform apply that descriptor to Canada as a whole, as Mr. Poilievre had been endlessly doing until the federal election campaign began. Rather, the platform refers to “broken” Liberal promises and our “broken” immigration and health care systems. Hard to take issue with that.
