OTTAWA — The federal Conservatives are amping up criticism of Mark Carney, the Liberal leadership contender they appear to assume will replace Justin Trudeau as their chief opponent in the next federal election.
The criticism comes as the party stages a “Canada First” rally in Ottawa on Saturday, aimed at pitching Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre as the best answer to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff threats.
A comment in Kelowna by Liberal leadership hopeful Mark Carney that fentanyl is a “challenge” in Canada shows how out of touch he is with reality of the drug crisis, Kelowna-Lake Country Conservative MP Tracy Gray says.
“Carbon Tax Carney came to Kelowna to tell people they should ignore the damage caused by nine years of the Trudeau-Carney Liberals, to downplay the fentanyl crisis, and to promote his new and bigger shadow carbon tax that will make Canadians even poorer,” Gray said in an email to The Kelowna Courier.
You are a stupid and evil punk. It is amazing to witness the depth of your delusion. Watching you wrap yourself in the flag of the nation you ruined is sickening. Your legacy will be the everlasting contempt held for you.

Canada’s history is one written largely by its industrious immigrants. Having said that, in this past decade, the Liberal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has turned this national strength into a chaotic social upheaval. There is no other way to describe the fact that the Liberals have implemented an immigration program that has purposely transformed the country’s ethnicity and its character. Canadians have yet to fully realize what has transpired. And still, the Liberals continue to permit plane loads of migrants to land at the Toronto and Montreal airports.
It is instructive to look back at the genesis of the Liberals immigration policy to understand exactly what has occurred to Canada’s population through the past decade. Accelerating the flow of people into Canada is an immigration strategy formalized in the Trudeau government’s early years. In 2016, the federal Advisory Council on Economic Growth, which was chaired by Dominic Barton (then-McKinsey & Co. global managing partner and later the Canadian ambassador to China), recommended that there be a 50 per cent increase in annual “permanent resident” immigration levels so that in five years (2021) the number would reach 450,000. Barton was also a co-author of a paper advising the government that the country’s population should be 100 million by 2100.
It was an evil act for which Trudeau and his Liberal party must pay.
It wasn’t enough for Chrystia Freeland to drive Canada off an economic cliff as finance minister, ushering in heaps of debt and deficits more intense with the year. She wants to do it all over again — just from the prime minister’s seat.
And really, that’s all she can do. Freeland can’t offer change because, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s no. 2 since 2019, the Trudeau government might as well have been her government. What she can do is stuff his most working-class friendly ideas — in appearance, at least — into a bouquet, adding to them a few proposals plucked from other parties elsewhere to fool onlookers into thinking it’s all new.
In just under a month, Liberal Party members will choose their next leader, who will automatically become Canada’s next prime minister. At least until the next election.
Candidates vying to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on March 9 are starting to flesh out their visions for the country.
This unusual leadership race has seen the main challengers pivot to confront the existential threats to the Canadian economy lobbed by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Mark Carney told an audience of supporters in British Columbia that fentanyl isn’t a crisis in our country.
The Liberal leadership contender, and likely next prime minister of Canada, was giving a speech in Kelowna the other day when he turned to the issue of dealing with Donald Trump.
Since late November, Trump has been demanding that Canada do something about the fentanyl crisis, claiming the drug is flowing south from Canada into the United States.
Not surprising given the LPC is a branch plant of the CCP.
Renee Merrifield did not mince her words while talking about Liberal leadership frontrunner Mark Carney on this week’s episode of Beyond the Ballot.
Speaking with NowMedia video host Jim Csek, the Kelowna businesswoman and former MLA said she finds Carney “very disingenuous.”
Mark Carney needs to stop talking about American President Donald Trump because the likely soon to be prime minister is going to lead us straight into economic oblivion, if not into a full blown annexation crisis. The best way for our leaders to deal with Trump’s toxic threats to absorb Canada, or to wipe out the auto industry, is to essentially stop talking in public immediately. Instead, Liberals are gleeful at the opportunity that after nine years in office, they get to campaign against Trump.

The same bastards staging a faux patriot flag day tomorrow are the real enemy, the real cancer.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau congratulated Syria’s interim president today, despite him leading a group Canada still designates as a terrorist organization.
Ahmed al-Sharaa leads Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, a group Canada has listed as a terrorist organization since 2013.
That group, often called HTS, toppled the regime of Bashar al-Assad last December, ending a brutal dictatorship that was supported by the Russian government.
Does the Government of Canada need a U.S. style DOGE financial audit?
Franco Terrazzano, federal director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, would say yes. Terrazzano released a series of bombshell tweets revealing extreme waste in Ottawa.
“Global Affairs Canada (is doling) out $223 million to the “private sector” in South America for climate change mitigation and gender-responsive, sustainable economic development,” he wrote on X.
This is criminal.
Niccolò Machiavelli once said, “Never waste the opportunity offered by a good crisis.”
The comment could be a line in the Liberals’ playbook given Canada’s recent history.
At a campaign event, Mark Carney, who is on the cusp of becoming Canada’s next prime minister going into a federal election, said he supports the use of “emergency powers” to fight back against the Americans in a trade war.
I’m still in shock that this globalist said this out loud. I hope people who consider voting for him listen to this and wake the hell up. And just imagine what he’s been saying behind closed doors. pic.twitter.com/QxVfoJWNqX

Abacus Data Poll: Conservatives lead by 19 as Liberal vote share rises at the expense of the NDP
If an election were held today, 46% of committed voters would cast a ballot for the Conservatives, 27% would vote Liberal, and 15% would support the NDP. The Bloc Québécois sits at 7% nationally, while the Greens are at 3% and the People’s Party at 2%. Since our last survey two weeks ago, the Conservatives are up 3, the Liberals up 5 while the NDP is down 3.
Despite an October pledge by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to drastically reduce immigration, the country’s population continues to grow at a high rate, a new report finds.
The Feb. 6 economic study from Desjardins titled ‘Is Canada’s Population Slowing According to Plan?’ finds that while international student admissions have decreased in the last four months, Ottawa is still allowing about the same amount of temporary foreign workers and permanent immigrants into the country.
The bottom line, the report authors say, is that the population growth isn’t about to change without “more aggressive reductions.”
A central theme of the Liberal leadership race, based on what the candidates are saying, is that they all represent a new iteration of the party and are not like those other Liberals who have been in power for close to a decade and who, you know, got so much wrong.
And that’s fine. Front-runners Chrystia Freeland and Mark Carney are perfectly welcome to try to distance themselves from a deeply unpopular government and label themselves as outsiders with fresh ideas. That’s politics.
URGENT:
Carney will NOT SCRAP the Carbon Tax
Carney’s team laughs at axing the Carbon Tax
He says on tape he’s just CHANGING the Carbon Tax
HOW MUCH will Carney’s changed Carbon Tax cost Canadians?
⛽️At gas pumps?
On your heating bill?
In farmers’ fields?
