Meet the new Liberals. Same as the old Liberals

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.

Carney says he may call early election if he becomes prime minister on March 9

Former central banker Mark Carney opened the door to an early election call if he is elected by Liberal members to replace Justin Trudeau as party leader and prime minister in a March 9 leadership vote.

Mr. Carney, the perceived frontrunner for the Liberal leadership, has been crisscrossing the country to introduce himself to rank-and-file party members and announcing some policy initiatives.

Jamie Sarkonak: Carney wants to punish Canadian steel, just like Trump

We’re all going to feel outrage at the 25 per cent tariffs that President Donald Trump just slapped on Canadian aluminum and steel — if we haven’t started already.

No one will take joy in the work slowdown that has already hit Hamilton, Ont. and the job losses, immediate and downstream, that ensue. Nor will anyone be happy to pay the higher price of American-manufactured items that spike in price due to the higher cost of raw materials within their country.

Consequences? That’s for the “Little People”.

GOLDSTEIN: Federal Liberals can’t be trusted with the economy

Given their dismal economic record after 10 years in power, it’s hard to comprehend why anyone would trust the federal Liberals to be responsible stewards of the nation’s finances heading into this year’s election.

Indeed, it’s an issue on which Liberal leadership frontrunner (and prime minister-in-waiting) Mark Carney and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre agree.

Liberal leadership race is contest that isn’t testing anyone

When Justin Trudeau finally announced Jan. 6 he would step down, some Liberals called for a quick anointing of former finance minister Chrystia Freeland as the party’s new leader.

But Gerald Butts, the Prime Minister’s friend and former chief strategist, argued against that on the grounds that the candidates needed to be tested in a leadership race.


Instead they’ve arranged for Mark Carney to be anointed.

A swamp dweller at home among the elites who have worked hand in glove with the Trudeau government to make Canada a 3rd World shithole.

Paying Gazans to come here while Israeli hostages rot is vile

We have seen so much of the Trudeau government’s perfidious hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy on the Israel-Hamas War that one would think he could do nothing more that civilized people would consider revolting. Well, we were wrong.

After all, how much more aid and comfort — moral and material -could he give to an enemy like Hamas than he has already? Yes, an enemy. What else would one call an organization listed as terrorists by Canada.

GOLDSTEIN: Trudeau’s absurd greenhouse gas emission targets impossible to achieve, study finds

One of the absurdities of lame-duck Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s pledge to have Canada achieve “net zero” industrial greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 is that since he won’t be in power then, he can say anything he likes now, regardless of its real-world feasibility.

Leger poll: Carney as leader would have Liberals tied with Conservatives

 

OTTAWA – A new poll suggests that if Mark Carney wins the Liberal leadership race, he would erase the massive lead the Conservatives have enjoyed for the past year and a half.

A Leger survey suggests a Carney-led party would boost Liberal support by six points to 37 per cent, putting them in a dead heat with the Tories.

It’s an online poll.
