  1. What a sleaze. Paul Martin with his $1 shipping firm transfer and now a liberal is likely to get $10 bill. Among the litany of other shenanigans, like morneau-shepell for instance. We, Mckinsey, SNC Lavalin, an endless list of scams.

    By hook and by crook.

    Infuriating.

  4. It doesn’t take much to notice many Canadians disappointed Trump isn’t dead …….
    They are to wrapped up in their easy lives to even notice the malice for their well being right under their noses in their own country.
    Apathetic vegetables made people like Carney ,Trudeau, and all the rest in government that just don’t give a FK … They don’t have to.

    1. Correct. Canadians are conventional, trusting and complacent.

      They are a ridiculous ressentiment-addled little people

      And they somehow have this preening moral smugness about it to boot.

      Not sure why. Anyone?

      1. Eric,
        I’m not sure why, either, but I will offer this up as a probable cause…
        Canadians are, as you stated, largely trustful, conventional and complacent.
        To those dubious Canadian “qualities,” I would add that Canucks are also distracted and duped by big media, crap on the interweb, and all the usual tools and weapons that have transformed the unthinking masses into controllable sheep that OBEY and adhere to the latest thing. AND, they then feel SMUG about it.
        To be fair, that is not exclusive to Canucks, but true to all the blue pilled lemmings that have been successfully subjugated over the years since the advent of the internet and other devices post WW2.
        Excuse the ramble. Have a nice day.

        1. “…Canucks are also distracted and duped by big media, crap on the interweb, and all the usual tools and weapons that have transformed the unthinking masses into controllable sheep that OBEY and adhere to the latest thing…”

          That’s it right there!

          I spend a fair bit of time on YouTube (for reasons not related to politics) and the number of channels disparaging Trump is incredible. Almost every television talk show, from morning to late night, has been twisting events to make it seem like Trump is failing miserably or that he is a “threat to democracy” in some way, shape, or form. The number of viewers these channels get is staggering and when you factor in the impact of people watching multiple channels and seeing, hearing, and watching similar information on ALL of them, it becomes very obvious that the average Canadian or US citizen would rail against Trump.

      3. It started back right after the Plains of Abraham when the Brit’s realized that if they expelled the French colonists out of Quebec they would have to expend resources to administer and adjudicate the newly obtained territory plus they had to keep their native allies on side lest they create a war between them and the British colonists.
        And just like that the Quebec Act was passed through Westminster on the recommendation of the committee of plantations and colonies.
        The existing French settlers were allowed to stay with the caveat they pledge allegiance to the crown, and the British colonies barred from expanding west. The French colonists (well their elites) knew a soft touch when they saw it and grifted on. The British colonists (aka American colonists) were justifiably pissed after expending blood and treasure to fight the French Indian war only to be told sit down shut up and here’s another tax to pay our war debt.
        Over the century this sense of entitlement in Quebec has become ingrained to the point where their point of view is that the nation is a power sharing agreement where the power is split 50/50 Quebec gets 50% of benefits and the rest of the country gets 50% with all the responsibilities to pay for it.
        So if there is blame to go around for this, here’s a list
        King George III
        his parliament
        The nabobs and corrupt administration of the colony of Quebec
        The decades of representatives of Upper and Lower Canada that did nothing to correct it
        Subsequent governments after that who chose to allow the “two solitude’s” to perpetuate

        The only way it’s ever going to stop is when Quebec runs out of other peoples money.

        Here endith my rant.

        1. Your heart’s in the right place but you’re a bit off. The arrangements made for Quebec at the time of cession were entirely sensible, and so were those at Confederation. (It wasn’t exactly the French elite that stayed – it was the aristocracy and the peasants, with almost the entire bougeoisie leaving, to replaced by new English (often New English) colonists.) It’s hard for us today to gauge the extent that French Canada caused problems for Canada in Mackenzie King’s time, because Canada was centred on English Montreal then in a way it isn’t now, and the French caused lots of problems for English Montreal. But really, the Québec problem as we know it is entirely Pierre Trudeau’s doing.

  5. If Carney doesn’t resign from Brookfield, then the CEO Bruce Flatt should remove him for the apparent conflict of interest.

    Additionally, the Carney appears to have several other conflicts of interest, since he’s also involved in the following:

    He is currently the United Nations Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance and Co-Chair for the Glasgow Finance Alliance for Net Zero. 

    He is also Chair of the Group of Thirty and Bloomberg LP’s Board of Directors, as well as an external member of the Board of Stripe, a member of the Global Advisory Board of PIMCO, Harvard University, Rideau Hall Foundation, Bilderberg, the Peterson Institute for International Economics, the Blavatnik School at Oxford, and the Hoffman Institute for Global Business and Society at INSEAD, Cultivo, Senior counsellor of the MacroAdvisory Partners, and Advisor of the Watershed as well as President of Chatham House

    2. Ironic isn’t it?

      For him to be PM would be a demotion and he gets paid far less.

      Hence in spite of all the pundits claiming he is going to run for the liberal leadership they ignore the obvious that he doesn’t need to be the PM he only needs to control the PM.

      Wonder what he’s got on Trudeau?

  7. Mork Carney for the “win” on the largest “advisory” fee EVAH!
    Oh, and that photo of Carney and Goldberg is worthy of a metaphorical tableau of GRIFT.
    Laugh it up, Boyz.
    SPIT

  8. “If Carney doesn’t resign from Brookfield, then the CEO Bruce Flatt should remove him for the apparent conflict of interest.”

    Boyz, you don’t know how the game is played. Brookfield has been a major player in infrastructure in China. The CEO answers to the powers that be. And he’s already on the way out anyway.

  9. “unusual hiring arrangement”
    LOL
    I’m going to save that weasel-y euphemism and use it – pardon the pun – liberally

    1. “Unusual hiring arrangement” = “Yes, officer, I paid for a hooker. No, officer, we’re just having a nice conversation. I’m interested in her mind.”

  10. When Pail Martin – President/owner of Canada Steamship Lines – became Transport Minister, he assured Canadians that there would be no conflict because a blind trust had been set up. Joe Clark asked if it was a venetian-blind trust.

    1. If I recall correctly, the one change that was made to Cdn tax law when Paul Martin was finance minister was a tweak that allowed Canadian shipping magnates to move their assets from Bermuda to the Bahamas without triggering any of those inconvenient capital gains taxes.

  11. L – “Due to an unusual hiring arrangement,”

    What Trudeau et regime need is a list of countries lacking an extradition with Canada.

  13. None of this really matters very much. Justatwit and his collection of idiots will be gone at most a year from now. Carney’s political career will have vanished down the drain. He’s too old to survive the years ahead of a Poilievre government and hope to be leading a political comeback. The LPC will long since have moved on befoe any of that.

    So Carney’s chance of having a lasting impact on Canada is zero.

  14. Remember when the Bronfman’s moved billions out of Canada?
    It was lyin’ Brian who facilitated that one.

    It’s the Canadian way. A kleptocracy. The first question asked in every transaction is, ” What’s in it for quebek?”

    Quebek needs to be It’s own country. Please go.

  15. Put simply … our nations are being LOOTED by LOSERS who wouldn’t get hired to flip burgers in the Free Marketplace. The government is directing our tax dollars) into the pockets of complete LOSERS. When will we all wake up and erect the gallows for this de facto monarchy

  16. Its very enjoyable to see all commenters crapping all over Mark Carney on his LinkedIn page.

  18. How is this even a thing?

    “Gimme ten billion dollars and I’ll buy canadian stuff”

    Really?

    Effin’ scumbag Liberal crooks – every last one of those scum needs to be in prison. Lying, cheating scum.

    1. They won’t be going to prison either because they own the judges too.
      Eventually a more permanent removal method will evolve, all do to the general public’s despair.
      They also know this, hence the government policy attempts to control the purchase of certain items.
