Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

Quebec’s provincial government released its 2025-26 budget on Tuesday.

“Wow, Lorne, please tell us more!”

OK, it might seem a bit of a stretch to start a column for Albertans with news about Quebec’s provincial budget, but the Quebec budget has implications for Alberta.

Canadians have a right to know before election day how Mark Carney’s past work life could intersect with his role as prime minister, and not four months from now, when the ethics commissioner finishes his report.

There are several potential issues that could arise under a Mark Carney government. Most are connected to his time at Brookfield Asset Management. These include potential conflicts of interest with investments tied to the firm’s performance, his former business relationship with China, and his net-zero work, which calls into question his commitment to Canadian energy. These could be potential issues for any government leader, regardless of party.

OTTAWA — Liberal Leader Mark Carney has been accused of taking other people’s ideas as his own in the federal election campaign.

It isn’t new.

The National Post obtained a copy of Carney’s 1995 thesis for his doctorate in economics from Oxford University titled “The Dynamic Advantage of Competition.” It shows 10 instances of apparent plagiarism, according to the judgment of three university academics who reviewed the material.

The battle lines have been drawn and based on the polls, policy, and the eye test, each side’s foot soldiers have been made clear.

For the Conservatives, who have opened with high energy, a message of “hope and change,” the power of happy-warrior positivity, and the highlighting of very real threats to Canada’s recovery and the reclamation of the Canadian Dream, their packed halls and overflow rooms are made up of a younger support base than ever before.

Mark Carney’s campaign is something out of a time machine. Thin on actual substance, he’s opted to emanate vibes instead, with cultural references to 1950s hockey, 1960s music and 1980s CBC programming, and imitations of nationalism by cheering on the stereotype of Canadian niceness. It’s quaint — but impossible to relate to.

As punishing Chinese and American tariffs threaten Canada’s exports, Sask. farmers expressed anger and frustration over what they called U.S. President Donald Trump’s “stupidity.”

But for all the vitriol they have toward the U.S. leader, they also showed disdain for former prime minister Justin Trudeau and his successor, Mark Carney.

“Everything is for the east,” said Carl Jensen, who farms in Invermay, Sask., about 250 kilometres east of Saskatoon, during Canada’s Farm Show last week.

Dear constituents,

I am delighted to announce today that upon careful reflection of national and regional polling, I have decided to throw my hat in the race and run for re-election. This was a tough choice. I know that I said back when the word “Liberal” was radioactive that I would not be running in the next election in order to spend more time with my family. But my party has now found its potassium iodide: its name is Mark Carney, and though he is also tightly constrained and only deployed in emergencies, he works! And so, after much soul-searching – mostly about which cabinet position I want – I have come to the conclusion that my family can wait. Please consider supporting my campaign as I embark on this selfless endeavour.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is facing renewed questions over his past role with the Bilderberg Group, a secretive annual meeting of global elites that has long sparked theories about hidden agendas controlling world events.

Carney, who joined the Bilderberg Meetings’ steering committee in 2011, attended sessions with figures like Henry Kissinger and Jared Kushner, including the 2019 gathering in Montreux, Switzerland.

Canada is in danger of replacing one prince with another.

Justin Trudeau did not think the rules applied to him and it took more than nine years for Canada to come to terms with that glaring truth. Now Liberal Leader Mark Carney is going down the same road.

Carney is in need of a safe seat to run in and, as if by magic, one has just opened up in Ottawa Nepean.

It’s a hard line to straddle. Are the Liberal MPs who announced they were heading for the exits when the polls were down but now want to contest their seats political opportunists? Or are they answering a call to duty?

On Tuesday, Sean Fraser, the Nova Scotia MP and former minister of housing and immigration, announced he’d changed his mind and would stand for re-election. “I will be the Liberal candidate in Central Nova during this federal election,” he posted on Facebook. “Yesterday, Prime Minister Mark Carney called and asked me to join the team that will be responding to this unprecedented economic threat from the United States. I said yes.”

Mark Carney says that he’s all in and elbows up for Canada, but it seems the firm Carney used to oversee liked foreign countries better. Not only did Brookfield Asset Management move its headquarters from Toronto to New York when Carney was its chairman, he set up $25 billion worth of Brookfield funds in a Caribbean tax haven.
