Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

OTTAWA — Canada has developed a dangerous habit: when reality collides with the prevailing political narrative, we increasingly question the reality rather than the narrative.

Call it political correctness, progressive orthodoxy, institutional risk aversion or, in the language now commonly used, “woke” politics. Canada has created a culture in which governments and institutions are often more comfortable managing the language surrounding a problem than confronting the problem itself.

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new sovereign wealth fund risks repeating the problems of a troubled British fund he helped create, a new report warns.

The report, released Thursday by think tank the Montreal Economic Institute (MEI), notes that Carney’s Canada Strong Fund echoes the United Kingdom’s National Wealth Fund, and argues that the resemblance should be a red flag for the Canadian prime minister and former Bank of England governor.

I bet Carney will do ok though.

On the prairies, progress is measured by simple, tangible work: whether the fence got mended, whether the crop came in and whether the next generation is better off than the last.

From that vantage point, watching Ottawa feels like looking into an ecosystem entirely obsessed with its own reflection. Pundits track every minor polling shift, dissecting Liberal policy moves, endlessly speculating about Conservative infighting and seem to care more about Washington than our own challenges. It makes for lively political theater in the capital, but it misses the fundamental question Canadians across the country are asking: Is Canada actually in better shape?
