Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government – Page 264

Has Canada Learned From Its Lost Decade?

‘Why don’t I become a circus clown?” That was Mark Carney’s sensible reply when asked in 2012 about ambitions to enter Canadian politics. On Sunday he was elected leader of Canada’s Liberal Party, soon to be sworn in as Prime Minister. Welcome to the circus.

Mr. Carney, a central banker who became a global face of “net-zero” and “ESG” environmental schemes, won 86% of the Liberal leadership vote. His big advantage: He was off in England, or globe-trotting as a United Nations climate envoy, or working for large U.S. firms rather than serving as a minister in Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government (2015-25).

Tasha Kheiriddin: Carney’s boomer bet could go bust

It’s official: Mark Carney has won the prize of prime minister. Now, he must figure out how to keep it. Carney comes to the job with a lot of pluses, chiefly his steady demeanour and economic experience, but also a pile of vulnerabilities. Already the Conservatives are gleefully exploiting them, branding him a liar, sellout, and globalist. They are saturating social media with memes and clever ads, trying to define him before he calls an election, which is likely imminent, considering the latest Nanos poll puts them a mere percentage point ahead of the Liberals.

HANNAFORD: There’s a lot Mark Carney has written that he doesn’t care to talk about

In the past few months, I have not been alone in suggesting that the people responsible for reporting on President Donald Trump’s tariff threats should read his book about negotiation. If they merely read the second chapter of ‘Art of the Deal,’ there would be a lot less amazement, and a little more confident commentary.

Now that Mark Carney has become the Liberal offering to lead Canada, does he have any books of his own to offer as a window on what he really thinks, that might matter to us, but didn’t come up in a leadership campaign during which little of him was revealed anyway?

Mark Carney aims for PM swearing in by Friday

OTTAWA — Liberal Leader Mark Carney is hoping to be sworn in as Canada’s 24th prime minister by the end of the week but there are some logistical hurdles like security clearances for senior members of his transition team that must happen first.

Mark Carney is wrong about everything

It can be very difficult to make Grok go that last revision

Canada’s new unelected prime minister is living, breathing proof that technocrats can’t be trusted.

Canadians have a new prime minister. After a leadership election in the ruling Liberal Party, it’s out with the woke globalist, Justin Trudeau, and in with the woke globalist, Mark Carney.

Extraordinarily, in an age where justified populist rage against an out-of-touch establishment is spreading across the globe, Canadians have ended up with a leader who embodies that very establishment. In many ways, Carney is the technocrat’s technocrat. A bone fide citizen of nowhere.

Canada Has a New Globalist Prime Minister (For Now)

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Jan. 6 that he would resign once the Liberal Party of Canada had concluded a leadership race. As of Sunday, March 9, the race has concluded, and the new leader of the party is Mark Carney.

As of March 10, 2025, Carney has not yet officially become the prime minister of Canada but has been elected as the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, making him the prime minister-designate.

Chrystia Freeland’s low Liberal support doesn’t tell the whole story

There was no real expectation that Chrystia Freeland would win the Liberal leadership race and make history as Canada’s second female prime minister. Even so, Sunday’s results must have been a blow. With Mark Carney’s landslide win, she placed second – with a mere eight per cent of the vote, compared to nearly 86 per cent for Mr. Carney.

In raw numbers, Mr. Carney received 131,674 votes; Ms. Freeland, only 11,134.

No way to polish that turd. Freeland was Trudeau’s toxic handmaiden.

Canadian governments fail to stop money laundering because they want the cash, says law prof

Politicians in Canada are mostly pretending they’re desperate to crack down on money laundering, according to the stark, well-constructed argument of a University of Calgary law professor, Sanaa Ahmed.

Ahmed says the real reason federal and provincial governments have not made a significant dent in the laundering of dirty money is, basically, because they like the cash in the economy.

Mark Carney is no ally of the oilpatch, says Alberta Premier Danielle Smith as she calls for election

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith wants the new leader of the federal Liberal Party to change its approach toward the oil and gas industry and its environmental policies.

Mark Carney won the Liberal leadership on Sunday evening with an overwhelming majority of the vote of party members.

On Monday, Smith re-iterated her calls for an election to be called so a prime minister is in place with a mandate from voters across the country.

Fewer than 40 per cent of 400,000 registered Liberals voted in leadership race

After the Liberal Party boasted in January of signing up nearly 400,000 registered Liberals, only about 38 per cent of them made it through the verification process and turned out to vote in the race that elected Mark Carney as the party’s new leader and Canada’s next prime minister.

The party said 163,836 people successfully went through the authentication process. Of those, 151,899 voted in the race, or 93 per cent, which is the percentage the party is using for turnout.

Mark Carney appoints Marco Mendicino as chief of staff — angering Muslim supporters

OTTAWA — A day into his new role, Prime Minister-designate Mark Carney has already managed to anger some Muslim voters and Liberal supporters by appointing former public safety minister Marco Mendicino as his chief of staff.

John Ivison: Carney is already having trouble not looking like Trudeau 2.0

Canadians, as new Liberal leader Mark Carney pointed out in his low-key victory speech , want change.

The question, perhaps the ballot question, is whether Carney can convince them he is an agent of that change, and distinguish himself from his predecessor, Justin Trudeau.

The task was not helped by the format of Sunday evening’s event, which served as both a tribute to Trudeau and a launching pad for his successor.

Cartels laundering drug sales though Canada’s trade system, RCMP assessment says

Drug cartels are using Canada’s trade system to launder the proceeds of drug trafficking, according to an internal police intelligence report obtained by the Investigative Journalism Foundation.

The 2022 assessment from the RCMP’s organized crime division says that “cartel drug trafficking” accounts for most of the money being laundered in Canada through trade, according to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).

Fake news Carney says Poilievre would ‘let our planet burn’

Newly minted Liberal leader Mark Carney isn’t wasting time when it comes to spreading fake news — following in the footsteps of Justin Trudeau and Steven Guilbeault.

During his victory speech on Sunday, Carney said, “Pierre Poilievre would let our planet burn. This is not leadership, it’s ideology.”

Audience members booed Poilievre.

The slogan that could doom Mark Carney

Mark Carney has won the Liberal party leadership contest by an enormous margin. He will soon be the prime minister of Canada. It’s a moment of triumph for the former governor of the Bank of England, the Governor of the Bank of Canada, a senior banker at Goldman Sachs based in the United States, Japan and Britain, for a former shapeshifting personage of the United Nations, for a Davos regular: for one of the most ambitious, globally ambitious, guys around. It’s a repudiation of the idea that a citizen of nowhere financier type educated at Harvard and Oxford could never rise to the top in our populist age.
