Matthew Lau: Is Carney just like Justin or lots like Kathleen

In the face of an erratic Donald Trump and because Justin Trudeau left our economy in shambles, Canada desperately needs solid leadership. But is newly crowned Liberal Leader Mark Carney likely to provide that? Or is he just like Justin?

That’s what the Conservatives say he is, and with good reason: Carney spent years in Trudeau’s policy circle, he has advised the government since 2020, he was hired by the Liberals to head the party’s economic “task force” last year, and last December Trudeau tried to make Carney his finance minister. Carney is now trying to disown the Trudeau government’s disastrous record, but his own policies on major issues like government spending, carbon taxes and environmental regulation are no better than Trudeau’s and probably worse.

Liberal government revives military co-operation with Ethiopia despite genocide allegations

Canada is supporting a regime that conducted an airstrike against a Kindergarten. Awesome!

Canada revives military co-operation with Ethiopia despite genocide allegations

Canada is resuming its military co-operation with Ethiopia, just months after the African country’s armed forces were accused of genocide and other crimes in the war in Tigray region.

The federal government suspended its defence collaboration with Ethiopia three years ago because of the Tigray war in the north of the country, where the Ethiopian military was widely reported to have killed thousands of civilians.

What would you expect of a genocidal state like Canada?

Carney puts together new team of Trudeau has-beens

Mark Carney is showing that he is the agent of change by appointing two former Trudeau cabinet ministers as his top advisers. Marco Mendicino is Carney’s chief of staff, David Lametti is part of Carney’s transition team.

Mendicino and Lametti were famous while in cabinet for joking about how many tanks were needed for quelling the Freedom Convoy in 2022.

Ottawa has failed to collect almost 40% of fines on companies that violated Temporary Foreign Worker rules

The federal government has failed to collect almost 40 per cent of the fines levied on employers for violating the rules of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, a Globe and Mail analysis has found.

Since 2017, federal inspectors have penalized nearly a thousand companies that rely on foreign workers, imposing more than $11.8-million in fines for workplace infractions.

The fines are in no way a deterrent, just the cost of doing business.

Mark Carney’s ‘Climate Tax Rollback’ is a Sleight of Hand

One of the biggest mysteries of the past decade or so has been the lingering of Justin Trudeau. Just how has he managed to stay in post for so long? Nonetheless, the political crises that are inevitably caused by victims of woke-green ideology’s disengagement from reality ultimately led to the Canadian Prime Minister’s resignation. Rather than taking the question of the legitimacy of his Government to the public, in characteristically cowardly style Trudeau suspended Parliament until his party had chosen a successor. Subsequently, the Liberal Party has chosen former Governor of both the Bank of Canada (2008-13) and the Bank of England (2013-20), Mark Carney. Among his policy commitments, Carney has told Canadians that he will abolish the country’s hated Consumer Carbon Tax. But is this about-face on climate policy what it seems, and what does it say about Canada’s new Prime Minister and the next?


I do not want this grifter as PM

Canada sounds alarm at G7: ‘Nobody is safe’ from Trump’s tactics

Joly shops

OTTAWA — Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly plans to welcome her G7 counterparts to Charlevoix, Quebec, with a warning: “If the U.S. can do this to us, their closest friend, then nobody is safe.”

On the official agenda this week as Canada hosts the G7 foreign ministers: Ukraine, the Middle East, Haiti and Venezuela, but nothing about President Donald Trump’s trade war or sovereignty threats. Yet Joly told reporters in Ottawa on Wednesday that she plans to raise the issue with the European and British members, while advising them that “Canada is the canary in the coal mine.”

McTEAGUE: Carney… how he got the top job is a national scandal

Well, the coronation is over, and it was exactly as anti-climactic as I expected it would be. The Liberals pulled out all the stops to get Mark Carney over the finish line, preventing real challengers from running, and carefully stage-managing the whole farce so that (with the notable exception of Frank Baylis) no one even attempted to discuss anything of substance.

Mid Mark Carney may not meet the moment

CALGARY—The Liberals have rallied around another cult of personality: Mark Carney.

On March 9, Carney became Liberal leader and the unelected prime minister-designate with 85.9 per cent of the vote. He’s yet another white man who flew above the normal barriers to political leadership that women and BIPOC would’ve had to slog through. As usual, white men are supported by an establishment that automatically places them at the top of a rigid hierarchy of power. Sucks for Chrystia Freeland, who only garnered 7.3 per cent of the vote.

I’m not impressed with Carney. I find him mid.

Our long national nightmare is over and a short one begins … Mark Carney to be sworn in as PM Friday, marking end of the Justin Trudeau era

OTTAWA — Justin Trudeau’s last day as prime minister will be Thursday as Mark Carney and a new cabinet will be sworn in by Governor General Mary Simon on Friday morning.

Rideau Hall confirmed Wednesday evening that Carney will be sworn in as Canada’s 24th prime minister at 11 a.m. on Friday, simultaneously marking the end of Trudeau’s nine year run in the job.

A smile at the memory of K’s favourite line “She’s gone where the goblins go below below below Yoho!”. A great way to avoid saying HELL.

The U.S. has covertly destabilized nations. With Canada, it’s being done in public says LPC propaganda outfit

Former senior Canadian intelligence officials say Canada needs to be on the lookout for campaigns aimed at destabilizing the country amid U.S. President Donald Trump’s escalating 51st state threats.

And they told CBC News that the most potent weapon wielded by the Trump administration to advance the cause of annexation would likely not be the intelligence agencies directed by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

“I would regard Mr. Musk as a problem,” said Ward Elcock, who headed CSIS for a decade including during the 9/11 attacks and also served as national security adviser. “I think that’s on a number of fronts.”

Mark Carney’s deep ties to US Democrat bigwigs exposed

New Canadian Prime Minister-designate Mark Carney is a creation of the establishment swamp with extensive ties to the Democratic Party in the US, which he’s going to great lengths to bury, The Post can reveal.

In particular, Carney is linked to John Podesta – appointed the controversial custodian of a $375 billion Democrat slush fund by ex-president Joe Biden – who has helped prop up the Canada’s ruling Liberal Party.

The link between Podesta and Carney — the new Liberal Party leader who has controversially been pictured alongside Jeffrey Epstein madame Ghislaine Maxwell — comes via Gerald Butts, a former political advisor to recently departed PM Justin Trudeau for more than a decade.

Divide and Con

“… Pierre Trudeau declined to serve in World War II and after the war, “traveled to Josef Stalin’s Soviet Union to participate in regime-sponsored propaganda activities.” The full account of Trudeau’s duty for Stalin would make an interesting read, but in 1989 the fledgling Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) destroyed the dossier on Pierre Trudeau. So it makes sense that, as Frum recalls, that Trudeau “tried to reorient Canada away from the great democratic alliance,” a reference to NATO. The prime minister also regarded the United States as the major threat to peace and the USA as a threat to Canada’s national identity.”

GREEN: Carney’s climate plan will keep costing Canadians money

Mark Carney, our next prime minister, has floated a climate policy plan that he says will be better for Canadians than the “divisive (read: widely hated) consumer carbon tax.”

But in reality, Carney’s plan is an exercise in misdirection. Instead of paying the “consumer carbon tax” directly and receiving carbon rebates, Canadians will pay more via higher prices for products that flow from Canada’s “large industrial emitters,” who Carney plans to saddle with higher carbon taxes, indirectly imposing the consumer carbon tax by passing those costs onto Canadians.

Trump is driving Carney’s Canada into Britain’s uncertain arms

The new Canadian PM is intimately familiar with Britain’s Left-wing elites. He may seek to exploit that to his country’s advantage

Mark Carney’s crushing victory in the Liberal Party leadership race means he will become Canada’s next prime minister. The former Bank of Canada and Bank of England governor won 85.9 per cent of the vote, with former deputy prime minister and finance minister Chrystia Freeland finishing a distant second on 8 per cent.

Carney will become the first Canadian PM to have never held elected office. His political inexperience could be a disaster of epic proportions, rivalling that of the inept Justin Trudeau. Yet, as fate would have it, this political novice is in a unique position to resolve one pressing problem.
