What Exactly Has Mark Carney Done for Canadians So Far?

The Libranos 32 Comments

Yesterday, I received a call from a longtime friend in Vancouver. He has a medium level TDS infection, unlike his brother, who has full blown TDS. This fellow is the King of Middle of the Road. His constant refrain is to not be too extreme in either direction. I would generally applaud this except for one thing: He is conveniently ignorant about the Radical Left constantly moving the Overton Window in their direction. Because he and his ilk don’t have a spine to ever push back (it would be too extreme in his mind), Vancouver and B.C. continue to drift leftward into oblivion.

We got to a point in the conversation where he pronounced that Trump is horrible and Carney is doing fine. I started getting nauseous from this blathering so I interrupted his rant and said: “Please name just one thing that Mark Carney has done in the best interest of the Canadian people.” He couldn’t name anything. He went on with a series of “ifs” that will take a year or two from now to determine if Carney has succeeded. I agreed that if all of those positive things he mentioned come to fruition, Carney will have done great things for Canada. Until then, I view Carney as chief blowhard and word salad maestro of Canada, very reminiscent of Obama.

But, in fairness, I did ask Grok to list Carney’s accomplishments as Canadian PM and it returned this.

What is your take on Carney’s tenure as PM so far?

P.S. It’s not clear how my friend would react to the comments about Carney here.

On a recent trip to Golf Town I noticed that new clubs are now locked in place so you have to get a clerk to get one out for you to examine. How long will it be before grocery stores are doing the same thing for steaks and roasts?

Police in Richmond, B.C., are investigating after a series of meat thefts from retail stores that they say may be “organized” crime.

RCMP say that there have been 39 cases of reported theft of meat from stores across the city since December.

Our Chinese-Installed Governor In Ottawa

Blacklocks; Prime Minister Mark Carney misled media on his private meetings with Chinese Communist leaders, Privy Council records show. Documents written by cabinet aides directly contradicted Carney’s claims that he raised human rights and foreign interference with his Beijing hosts: “On human rights, with the President, yes, we did discuss human rights.”

I would suggest a headline change to “Carney buys votes in Quebec and Ontario“. That aside, wouldn’t it be cheaper to just buy 155 mm artillery shells from places that already make such a commonly available munition? It’s also worth asking if this is a case of governments getting ready to fight the last war.

Ottawa will pump more than $1 billion in public funds into new facilities in Ingersoll, Ont., and Repentigny, Que., for heavy munitions used in artillery.

Making History

This is not the kind of history that any level of government should be making. But I guess it’s okay, as long as we call the spending “investment”.

The New Brunswick government says its investments in health care have helped push the budget into a record deficit. Introduced on Tuesday, the budget’s $1.4-billion deficit is the largest in the province’s history, according to Finance Department staff.

Speaking of investments…

The federal government is putting $200 million toward a Canadian-owned launch pad so it can send satellites into orbit without the assistance of other nations or other foreign third parties.

Strategic Partnering, Jan 16th

In a more divided and uncertain world, Canada is building a stronger, more independent, and more resilient economy. To that end, Canada’s new government is working with urgency and determination to diversify our trade partnerships and catalyse massive new levels of investment. As the world’s second-largest economy, China presents enormous opportunities for Canada in this mission.

Strategic Partnering, March 13th

Beaver Brook could be the largest North American producer of antimony — a critical mineral threaded through the entire spectrum of modern military hardware, from small arms and artillery shells to advanced missile seekers and night-vision goggles.

But China owns the mine and shut it down in early 2023 — one year before Beijing imposed export controls blocking antimony sales to U.S. military end users, driving prices from about US$5,900 per tonne to more than US$50,000.

“Trust us, we’d never lie to you.”

More than 30 soldiers based in Petawawa suffered frostbite injuries during a recent exercise in Alaska, prompting concerns about the quality of equipment military personnel are issued.

Soldiers contacted the Ottawa Citizen to complain that the Canadian Army was trying to cover up details about frostbite injuries to more than 60 troops who took part in “Exercise Global Resolve” in February. A number of frostbite cases were extremely serious, the soldiers added.

Juxtapose time.

The U.S. trade deficit narrowed sharply in January as exports surged to a record high and imports fell, a trend that if sustained, could see trade contributing to economic growth in the first quarter.

Canada’s trade deficit widened in January as exports of motor vehicles and parts fell to the lowest level in more than four years. Canadian goods exports decreased by 4.7%, the biggest monthly decline since April 2025, Statistics Canada reported Thursday. That pushed the country’s trade shortfall to $3.65 billion.

Kill shot: Economists surveyed by Bloomberg were expecting Canada’s trade deficit to shrink to $1.1 billion January from $1.3 billion in December.
