  2. The Liberals have in 9 years more than doubled the deficit to 2 trillion ,200 hundred billion! Have pushed the corrupt notion of Anthropogenic climate change with their corrupt carbon tax! Have tried to destroy agriculture, and the energy section ( Oil, and LNG) and Carney has supported this destruction!

    Tom Mulcair says Poilievre attacks too much, I say to Tommy boy he tells the truth and the truth has been so bad it sounds like an attack! ( By the way how many parties did blow heart Tom run for— NDP then —Liberals)

    The liberals have profited by fentanyl being brought into Canada and then Laundered!

    1. PP doesn’t attack enough by an order of magnitude. And what he does attack on isn’t usually the correct issues, anyway.

      Anybody yet heard him say a thing against Globull Warmening?

      1. Tom Mulcair is an effete, bearded, part time university lecturer and radio voice. And failed NDP leader, succeeded by Jag for f3uck sakes!
        Full of sound and fury, and stories about how he failed. But Vassy likes to hear his wisdom on a stupid radio panel etc.
        AS for PP, he should learn how to say “China” out loud.

        1. Mulcair is a POS communist.
          Years back I heard him on the radio say he was outraged at Ford’s pardon of NIxon. Where was he at the time? Studying in Moscow.

    3. despite the last nine years Canadians will drink the Kool-Aid and elect Carney next election, they never learn

  3. well not everything everything. just everything SO FAR.
    gotta give the greenhorn some time to really cause some damage.
    hopefully lots of it on the heads of those who vote for it.

  4. Myers nailed this Carbon Tax Carney perfectly. What he also has shown is that Carney is a light-weight. He gets easily bored when he’s wrong or contradicted by what actually happens. As was the case with Brexit.

    So this sad, dilettante is what the LPC has chosen overwhelmingly to be their leader. Carney will also be the first Canadian Prime Minister NOT to sit in the House since 1896. Which means that Carney will forever be associated with the most useless PM Canada ever had – Sir Mackenzie Bowell.

  5. Carney has been a bureaucrat for over 15 years.
    Someone once quipped about how after being in Ottawa for a couple of years they tend become Ottawashed.

    Carney is one of the Ottawa hall monitors that cheered when bank accounts of the unwashed were frozen.

  6. I don’t trust headlines like this. I don’t think Pierre Pollievre is wrong about everything, nor Carney, not even Singh (and I say that while holding my nose).

    The way a leader behaves is dynamic and dependant on the times that they face. Trudeau (in my opinion) was wrong about a lot, especially fiscal management, but not absolutely everything..very glad to see him go though. Can they please announce the date already?!

    We’d all do well to not be so tribal and partisan. I hold Trump, Pollievre, Carney, etc to the same scrutiny that all politicians deserve. The moment you think any of them give a crap about you, is when you’ve lost the plot.

    For at least 8 years Kate wrote posts with the title “I miss W.”, now most here would toss him out as some kind of establishment globalist, never fully considering how many wars these free-trade, economic entanglements have delayed or prevented entirely.

    Anyway, my plea is to be curious, not partisan and assess policies by their virtues or lack thereof. I don’t give a sh*t what party proposes something. Weigh it on in its merits without running to the alter of your favourite politician/party de jour.

    This isn’t meant to announce support for Carney, far from it, just can’t handle black and white worldviews.

    1. Ivan

      This blog is now only about confirmation bias. Any challenge to accepted orthodoxy is met with mean spirited slurs, ad hominem attack and one line sarcasms. There used to be some pretty good dialogue here. Guys and gals who’d thought about the issue and had something to contribute, but no longer.

      Have at ‘er

      1. Hey KKKrapper, you just joined the BooHoo school girl brigade?????

        Musk, Lake, Trump , Sheryl Atkinson , all put their self on the line to fight for their country, at a great price, but some in here denigrate them and then whine that they are not treated as they feel they should. Let us know when you intend to GROW UP!

    2. The joke is that as bad as W. was, his successor was so much worse that it made us nostalgic for W.

      And we do hold all Canadians politician to the same level of scrutiny. They’re just all so far to the left there’s nothing to distinguish them. Except Max, who can’t get a seat.

    3. Ivan, there’s nothing wrong with being partisan if you are on the right side of an issue.

      Also, what makes you think folks here aren’t curious. Just because they hold strong opinions on matters they consider important? There’s no virtue in being curious about things you know are rubbish.

      One example: I have absolutely no curiosity about what a greenie climate cultist thinks or says.

  7. “Mark Carney is the last man [Canadians] need to be PM.”

    I’m not so sure. I dare say he may be the last man they have as PM before President Trump puts the Líbranos out of business for good.

    If Carney ends up going down in history as the man who finally made North American unification possible, well. We won’t be able to say that Mark never did anything for us, will we?

  10. He should call for election and put himself in nice seat to be elected as a mp.

    One can only hope that the party or him are not re-elected.

  11. I will repeat my comment from yesterday

    There is a character that we meet at the start of Joseph Heller’s wartime comic novel “Catch 22” (he’s basic training commander to Yossarian, the book’s protagonist) named Lieutenant Scheisskopf, a scheming, striving, politicking brown-noser whose SOLE obsession is organizing military parades, a skill at which Scheisskopf excels. We run into him again mid-way through the novel where, based on his singular skill, he has been promoted to Colonel Scheisskopf (remember, there is an actual war going on) and he finally appears near the book’s end where – of course (and again, based solely on his singular skill in organizing military parades) – he is now General Scheisskopf.

    Carney IS Lieutenant Scheisskopf, one of those earnest, ambitious, spit-polishing, platitude-spouting, superior-flattering boys from the provinces who always seem to fail upwards.

    We shall see how long his kingship lasts…

  12. I see the hag running his transition is a former clerk of the privy council. Is there any senior bureaucrat not a Librano? Pollievre if elected should go on the assumption the answer is no and fire every one down to the director level at minimum. Then 4/5’s of all the rest, good start to right sizing. The bloat and waste Musk has found is absolutely criminal, and our civil service is 2.1 times bigger on a proportional basis. That is not a typo. For every useless drone in the US civil service we have 2.1, and they have a lot.

  14. Carnage lacks Turdhole’s gorgeous hair and banging rear end.. He talks taxes when most of us are still reeling from the Covid 19 debacle.. Comes off like a mortician or a creepy clergyman.. I don’t see him winning anything..

  15. Do we actually have a new PM?

    I thought the Prime Minister has to be a sitting MP.

    Who knows. The post-national WEF clan makes it all up as it goes along. Then dons its #TeamCanada hockey jersey, and the simpletons obsequiously bow.

    1. No, Trudeau’s still PM. He hasn’t resigned as PM yet even though he’s been replaced as Liberal leader by Carney.

      It’s constitutionally suspect whether a person who has neither a seat in the Commons nor a seat in the Senate should be invited to form a government and sworn in as PM, but such details have never stopped Liberals before nor will they this time. They just obliterated what was supposed to be the convention that central bankers stay out of politics, and politicians leave central bankers alone, and nobody batted an eye at that.

      The wisest constitutional course of action would be for Trudeau not to resign but instead advise the GG to dissolve Parliament and call a general election. Then Carney would enter the campaign only as Liberal leader, not as PM; Trudeau would technically stay on as PM in caretaker mode. But of course that won’t happen; see above.

  16. “He(Carney) does not even currently hold a seat in Canada’s House of Commons.”

    So what? There is no Parliament.
