Mark Carney’s visit to Saudi Arabia revealed a narrowed vision of Canada’s place in the world

“O Canada” was played in Saudi Arabia this week for the first time in 26 years. That quarter-century silence tells the real story behind Mark Carney’s visit to Jeddah.

The last Canadian prime minister to visit Saudi Arabia was Jean Chrétien, in 2000, during a 12-day Middle East tour driven by a very different ambition: to reinforce Canada’s role as a credible participant in the Oslo peace process and to lead the international working group on Palestinian refugees. Canada then aspired to play a distinctive diplomatic role in the region and strengthen multilateralism.

Carney talks about Canada’s ‘energy sovereignty.’ But what does that really mean?

Soon after Donald Trump took office for a second time, with punishing tariffs and menacing talk of Canada as “the 51st state,” this country’s leaders began to invoke the idea of “energy sovereignty.”

It was a response to the fact that the biggest consumer of Canadian oil — the U.S. — was becoming increasingly hostile and erratic, an economic quandary that could only be managed by seeking new customers.

Carney? He still believes we should all be driving electric cars.

MACLEOD: Lich, Barber, and the dangerous criminalization of protest

Canada’s justice system has now sent its message, and it is not subtle.

Tamara Lich and Chris Barber were not murderers, arsonists, violent revolutionaries, or even criminals. They were two Canadians who helped lead a peaceful protest against government mandates during one of the most heavy-handed periods in modern Canadian history. For that, the Crown vigorously pursued them for years, seeking prison terms of seven years for Lich and eight years for Barber.

GOLDSTEIN: Flawed and costly vision of Canada’s Liberal anointed

In 1995, the great American conservative thinker Thomas Sowell authored a seminal book on the mindset of liberal elites — The Vision of the Anointed — Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy.

While obviously not based on the bizarre journeys of the Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney governments on the issue of climate change, it describes, with remarkable foresight what happened in Canada starting two decades later.

STIRLING: Canada is sleepwalking into personal carbon rationing

As Premier Danielle Smith and Prime Minister Mark Carney shook hands and smiled for the cameras for the submission of Alberta’s proposal for a West Coast Pipeline, a collection of climate change science jigsaw pieces was falling out of place.

Hey, big spender: Why we need to start giving Carney a bit less benefit of the doubt

Mark Carney is committing enormous sums of public money with little explanation, in ways that neither Justin Trudeau nor most other prime ministers before him could have gotten away with.

It can be easy to look past, because of the financial gravitas that Carney carries.

Easy, too, because his spending spree this summer has mostly involved priorities — fossil-fuel infrastructure, defence — that don’t tend to invite noisy criticism from fiscally conservative chattering classes in the same way as social investments. And it’s broadly been in line with a national appetite for spending to bolster economic sovereignty and national unity, and to decrease reliance on the United States.

Carney is a very talented grifter.

Mark Carney’s government loves memorandums of understanding. So, what are they exactly?

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s way of communicating and branding things is so distinct that some choice Carneyisms have crept into everyday Canadian speech over the year and a half he’s been a daily national presence.

We don’t have plans or policies in this country right now – everything is a strategy. Public money purportedly luring private investment is, of course, catalyzing.

At Canada’s biggest rodeo, the starting gun is fired in the fight over Alberta separation

Over a million people descend on the Calgary Stampede every year to marvel at the iconic chuckwagon race, a sport invented in the Albertan city where carriage drivers race teams of horses around the track to the sound of pounding hooves, or be amazed by the speed of bareback riders racing in First Nations horse relays.

The ‘Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth’ is the marquee event on Alberta’s summer calendar, a distinctly western Canadian spectacle where political leaders also have to test their mettle, judged on the quality of their pancake flips at community Stampede breakfasts and their ability to pull off a cowboy hat.

Jesse Kline: Mark Carney’s $70-billion U.A.E. deal to nowhere

Given that the Liberals long ago ditched Stephen Harper’s vision of transforming Canada into an “energy superpower,” Prime Minister Mark Carney has resorted to going cap-in-hand to actual energy superpowers to get some of their sweet, sweet oil money. The only problem: despite his promise to fast-track nation-building projects, Canada still doesn’t have anything to invest in.

The pain at the grocery store is real. Can Ottawa’s $3-billion food strategy actually help Canadians deal with food inflation

Lea Reambeault can walk to three discount supermarkets in minutes from her Toronto apartment above a Food Basics store. Still, grocery shopping is a chore she often leaves to her partner out of anxiety.

The 36-year-old mother of three has been out of work since the birth of her youngest daughter a year ago. Her family of five — squeezed into a two-bedroom unit — relies on her partner’s roughly $80,000 annual income and spends about $600 a week on groceries and household essentials. Sometimes the couple has to put off rent to keep food on the table.

SNOBELEN: Canada’s trucking industry rolling into a dangerous era

There is a pattern to building a respectable business.

Small family businesses mark milestones along a growth trajectory that builds over time into a mature, stable and sometimes profitable business.

Our little trucking business was like that. The first new truck. A bigger rented yard and shop. The first big company party. And finally, our first, heavily mortgaged and built-to-spec. truck yard.

Canada’s next defence fight won’t be over spending. It’ll be over trust

If there’s one catchphrase to sum up the dilemma facing Canada and other allies post-NATO summit, it might very well be: Show me the money.

It may be cliché. It may be somewhat worn out — after all, it’s a pop reference to the 1996 movie Jerry Maguire. But it probably best captures a stirring public sentiment.

Britain found out the hard way recently that being able to account for an avalanche of money going to defence and security is a live, visceral political and policy issue that is capable of causing damage and casualties.

Hubris Sinks Canada

Andrew Moran, the economics editor at Liberty Nation News, writes that Canada seems to be quietly revising the core tenets of its “climate change” religion. Under a headline that bluntly announces, “Canada Admits Justin Trudeau’s Climate Agenda Was a Scam,” and a lede that asks, “Is it too little, too late for the struggling nation?” Moran analyzes a seventeen-minute YouTube video that Prime Minister Mark Carney published on June 30.

Carney has had the worst first year of growth for a PM since 1963: poll

Canadians support Mark Carney’s approach to managing the economy, even though he’s presided over the worst first year of growth for a prime minister since at least 1963.

A Nanos Research Group poll for Bloomberg News shows 60% of Canadians think Carney has done a very good or good job of handling the economy. That compares with 24% who think he’s done a poor or very poor job.
