“Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.” This memorable line from The Who’s “Won’t Get Fooled Again” has been used in various ways for over 50 years. As Mark Carney, the newly-elected Liberal leader and now prime minister takes over from Justin Trudeau, we can add this side-by-side comparison to the discussion.
For if you think the former Bank of England and Bank of Canada governor will be vastly different from his predecessor, you’re only fooling yourself.
Mark Carney’s first act as a prime minister of Canada was to lie to the Canadian people. That may seem like a bold allegation, but there are no two ways about it.
Carney held a cabinet meeting, invited the TV cameras in and held a Trump-style executive order signing that was nothing but a charade.
If Canadians are saddled with yet another Liberal government, they can thank Donald Trump.
Friday, Abacus Data released a poll showing that on every major issue — except Trump and the environment — Canadian voters favour Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives, often by a wide margin.
If Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives lose the next federal election, it will not be because the Liberals changed leaders. It will be because the narrative of the election changed, and Poilievre couldn’t find the right role for himself in the new story.
There are really only three roles in any narrative: the hero, the villain and the victim. When advising clients in crisis communications, we emphasize the importance of understanding which of these roles fits best for the purposes of public perception. Depending on the narrative, a person or organization in the middle of a crisis can make any of the three work well for them.
Valid questions raised but I suspect Carney is enjoying his Kamala Bump phase aided by the Left’s own distaste for Soiled-Himself Singh.
Carney stinks of WEF and is a committed globalist profiteer.
I suspect he will reheat his bromance with Xi and that may restore sanity to those currently conned by the ginned-up “Can’t be a Patriot without believing in the Great Annexation Scare”.
SINCE Mark Carney became Canada’s Prime Minister-designate, much has been written about his stellar career, from Oxford PhD via Goldman Sachs to central bank supremo, first as Governor of the Bank of Canada (2007-2013) and Governor of the Bank of England from May 2013 to March 2020.
Before anyone jumps to the conclusion that Canada’s economy post Pierre Trudeau’s bizarre and destructive reign is in safe hands should perhaps think again. Carney is equally ideological as became evident during his pro-Green tenure in the UK. Today, as a reminder, we republish Ewen Stewart’s response to the deluded banker’s claim in 2023 that Brexit was to blame for inflation. No, says Stewart, it was Carney.
Donald Trump’s former ambassador to the European Union says nothing should be off the table when it comes to Canada-U.S. trade discussions and that the U.S. president wants immediate change on his irritants like dairy and auto manufacturing.
“You cannot have fair and multilateral trade by someone saying that something is not up for grabs,” Gordon Sondland said in an interview on Rosemary Barton Live on Sunday. “Everything is up for grabs. Everything.”
Prime Minister Mark Carney has signed an executive order eliminating the so-called “consumer carbon tax,” leading many Canadians to believe they will no longer feel its financial burden.
But make no mistake – the most damaging aspect of the carbon tax for our food economy remains intact.
Power breakfasts aren’t on the menu at Wally’s Grill most days.
The Etobicoke diner does scrambled eggs for everyday folks. It rarely unscrambles big problems for big politicians.
So when Doug Ford sat down this week with Mark Carney, he set the table for an unlikely alliance: Canada’s most powerful Tory and the country’s most powerful Liberal getting together to start a new day.
Prime Minister Mark Carney, sworn in Friday, has a history with the World Economic Forum (WEF.) He is a member of its foundation board, the organization’s highest governing body, which oversees strategic direction. We may assume therefore, that he is in sympathy with the goals of the World Economic Forum.
A review of corporate documents reveals that Brookfield—the influential $900 billion Canadian investment fund from which Liberal Prime Minister-to-be Mark Carney stepped away from in order to replace Justin Trudeau as Canada’s leader—maintains over $3 billion in politically sensitive investments with Chinese state-linked real estate and energy companies, along with a substantial offshore banking presence. One of its major real estate ventures, a $750 million entry into high-end Shanghai commercial property in 2013, involved a Hong Kong tycoon affiliated with the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC)—which the CIA labels a central “united front” entity of Beijing.

Napoleon Bonaparte is believed to have said, “I found the crown of France in the gutter. I picked it up with the tip of my sword and cleaned it, and the people of France placed it atop my head.”
In the end, Old Boney lost. But boy, did he sure give it the old college try.
I recently received the following series of rhetorical exhortations from a friend who, like many Canadians, is unable to discuss President Donald Trump rationally. He wrote: “Imagine America deporting an academic from Columbia University for criticizing Israel. Imagine a President who repeats every morning that he is at war with Canada with the intent to achieve Anschluss. Imagine an American population that stands meekly by as its president acts as a dictator, internally and globally, no check, no balance, no accountability. Compare the quality of leadership in America with that of Russia and China these days.”
OTTAWA — During his leadership-race victory speech on Sunday, now Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney went off-script to take a shot at Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.
“I know the leader of the Opposition is into full disclosure,” he quipped, gesticulating with his hands and raising his eyebrows, an apparent retort to Poilievre and the Conservatives’ criticism of Brookfield Asset Management’s decision to move its head office from Toronto to New York, last year, when Carney was still its chair.
Let’s begun by debunking the myth – aided and abetted by the liberal media – that Prime Minister Mark Carney killed carbon pricing on Friday through a cabinet decree.
The most egregious example of this was buried in a CBC report on Thursday that Carney was “once a proponent of carbon pricing” implying he no longer is, which is an example of media disinformation of the type CBC is constantly warning us about.
