So, Justin Trudeau, a former part-time drama teacher and snowboarding instructor, resigned as leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. He was the Prime Minister. The Liberal Party has selected a new leader, Mark Carney. Mark Carney has a record that goes back to the United Kingdom, which is a fascist secular left country that bans free speech and prosecutes peaceful pro-lifers.
Let’s find out more about Carney, from this excellent article on Breitbart News:
The Justin Trudeau era is coming to a close in Canada, with the governing Liberal Party selecting former central banker Mark Carney as its new leader and eventual prime minister on Sunday.
Conservative leader reacts:
Critics, such as Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre, have accused the former Goldman Sachs investment banker of being “sneaky” and of representing a doubling down of the failed economic and environmentalist Trudeau-era agendas.
Never ran a campaign, never elected to office:
While never elected to public office, likely the first prime minister to have never been voted for at any level, Carney has been deeply involved in politics in Canada and internationally for nearly two decades. He was first installed as the head of the Bank of Canada during the 2008 financial crisis.
Anti-Brexit, pro-EU:
Carney later became the first non-British person to be selected to lead the Bank of England in 2013. During his tenure as governor of the UK’s central bank, Carney frequently faced criticism for spreading “project fear” warnings of a potential financial crisis due to the Brexit withdrawal from the European Union.
Fascist views of opposition to COVID lockdowns:
During the Chinese coronavirus crisis, Carney served as an advisor to Boris Johnson’s government in Britain and later to Justin Trudeau’s government in Canada, both of which instituted some of the strictest lockdown restrictions in the Western world.
Carney publicly branded the Canadian “Freedom Convoy” uprising against the draconian measures, including vaccine mandates, as representing “sedition” against the government in Ottawa and advocated for the government to go after those who funded the protest movement.
“By now, anyone sending money to the convoy should be in no doubt: You are funding sedition. Foreign funders of an insurrection interfered in our domestic affairs from the start. Canadian authorities should take every step within the law to identify and thoroughly punish them. The involvement of foreign governments and any officials connected to them should be identified, exposed and addressed,” he wrote in 2022.
You might remember that Canada froze the bank accounts of peaceful protestors, leading to a flight of capital and investment for their little third-world Banana Republic.
He’s also an eco-socialist – using global warming alarmism to push for higher taxes, more spending, more regulations, and larger government:
Carney has also been at the forefront of the international green agenda, having served as the United Nations Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance from 2019 until January when he stepped down to run for the Liberal Party leadership.
Additionally, Carney led the Net Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA), an initiative to advance climate policies throughout financial institutions throughout the West. The institution has recently suffered significant blows, as top American banks, including J.P. Morgan, withdrew from the scheme in the wake of the re-election of President Donald Trump, who has vowed to combat so-called Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) policies.
If he wins, I would expect some sort of Chinese social credit system, but along the lines of complying with green energy socialism. Expect the sort of economic contractions that we see in France and Germany, where you have leaders crowing about supporting Ukraine, as they purchase all their (dirty) energy from Russia, because they don’t make any of their own. Carney is a huge supporter of carbon taxes, and will likely want Canadians to to pay more for “green” appliances, “green” vehicles and “green” homes. It’s a convenient way to squeeze the last bit of self-sufficiency out of voters, so that they have to agree with the central government in order to be able to afford to live.
Right now, the Conservative Party candidate is in the lead, but Canada has about 66% secular leftist voters. Which means that any candidate from a secular left party is going to have a lot of votes from this majority. It’s not a good country. Not a good place to live. Not even a good place to visit. And definitely not a good place to invest. They simply don’t understand basic economics.
The lliberals are down in the polls even with media pushing a Carney message.
But Toronto and Montreal are stupid in politics and believe the liberal party makes them better off and with enough votes from those two areas it is enough of a boost for the liberals to get a chance.
The only good thing is Carney looks and talks like a boring old banker, so they can try to sell his image but he is really boring to watch.
