  1. He didn’t say what he would replace it with, but he has said in interviews that it’ll be a shadow tax, one we can’t see.

    Splendid.

    1. Carney has been clear. He is going to replace the consumer carbon tax with, what he calls, his “Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism”, whereby any products coming into Canada that do not meet his green standards will be subject to a tariff/tax, to protect Canada from what he deems is International Carbon Leakage. In a recent town hall in Kelowna, B.C. Carney stated he would use whatever means including the Emergency Measures Act to forward his policies.

      1. GRM
        You are correct about the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. But Mark Carnage has also said he’ll replace the Caron tax in Canada with a tax, or a carbon credit scheme, on so called “big polluters” (his term not mine). This means extra taxes on oil and gas developments, steel plants, cement plants, etc.

        1. I think the Holy See tried something like this back in the renaissance to pay for the renovations on St Pete’s basilica.
          They even had a nifty name for it.

          Called it selling of indulgences.

          Of course if you didn’t pay you risked excommunication and being deemed a heretic.

          Is history repeating?

  2. Did you vote for this guy? I didn’t for this guy
    Has my MP voted for this guy? Has any MP voted for this guy in Parliament?
    As far as I can tell, a bunch of Chinese 14 year olds voted for this guy.
    Yet now, the Greatest Economist Ever (TM) is now Prime Minister of our benighted Dominion.

    Seeing some of what the Greatest Economist Ever (TM) has had to say, I honestly think, I didn’t believe it to be possible, is actually stupider than Le Dauphin.
    “Canada is the largest supplier of semi-conductors to Canada”
    Raising the price of Canadian Steel on top of tariffs initiated by the United States won’t kill jobs?
    God in heaven, please help us all

    1. No one voted for Carney ever. He’s never won any kind of elected office for anything. He’s the first Prime Minister of Canada to hold no seat in the House of Commons since Mackenzie Bowell in 1896. He’s the first Prime Minister of Canada to hold a non-Canadian passport.

      1. Though John Turner had previously held a seat and was the Minister of Finance under PET, he went into the 1984 election against Brian Mulroney – who famously said during the debate, “you had a choice sir, you could have said no” to Turner rubberstamping PET’s patronage payoffs – without then holding an MP seat.

        Bottom line, Carney is not a real PM, nor a real Canadian, about to launch us into an unreal campaign of Trump hobgoblins, false face net zero lies and stealing all of the Conservatives’ best policies and platforms.

        But, he did arrogantly hint at a Fall.25 election. I hope he goes for it because if he went now, he will have the Trump hobgoblins to play pinata with and the NDP with their self-inflicted wounds from specious Singh.

        By the Fall the Trump trade war would be over and Carney exposed as an unelected dystopic dilletante.

        He might even embarrassingly lose yet another “safe Liberal seat” as he contests an April Halifax byelection.

    2. Chris – it’s a new kind of democracy -the kind where the people have no imput. Actually as parliament is suspended, our elected officials have no imput also . So much for responsible government.Move on nothing to see.

  3. Gerald Butts was all smiles at the coronation. Only two cabinet ministers west of Thunder Bay.

  4. PM and Premiers are not elected in Canada. The prevailing party in the Commons nominates a person that the King of England then invites to form a government in His name.

    1. Is this news to you; it isn’t to the people who vote in elections? Do you have a point with such an obvious quip?

    3. Funny thing about that Westminster model

      When a first minister resigns their successor is chosen by a vote in caucus because the PM isn’t directly elected by the commoners.
      That way they never end up with a PM that has no recognition in the House of Commons.
      If he doesn’t represent a riding he has no more authority than Jo blow 200 yards from the hill.
      But I digress
      If he is actually going to do something he either tables a throne speech and gets the confidence of the House, or advises the GG he needs an actual mandate.
      The clock is ticking.

  5. I have a relative with extreme TDS. She considers Trump to be Hitler Mk. IV (he’s so evil that he skipped Adolph Mk. II and Adolph Mk. III), so I guess that she’ll be comfortable with Carney. It’s better to become the next province of China than America’s 51st state.

    I don’t plan on speaking with her any time soon.

  6. we are watching the final stages of a commie take over of cana_da!
    welcome to venezuela! …

  7. What does “op-ed” mean in Canada? Because I kept reading, and reading, waiting for the OPINION about Carney … but all I got was a shopping list of his policies. Are opinions too risky in your fascist State?

    1. You beat me to it.
      And while we’re at it “further” is a verb— the proper adverb is farther. I’ll go farther to say, as an adjective “furthered” (not “further” because that’s a verb) means not farther but “pushed farther”.
      “If I have seen farther than others, ..” Newton certainly knew his English.

  10. Carney exudes all the energy and dynamism of a turtle. His insistence on carefully micro managed campaign events can’t last. He’s not gregarious in the least. He’s going to have to rub shoulders with John Q Public sooner or later and he won’t like it. And his wife looks like she would rather be flogged than sit through a campaign stop.

  12. What an amazing form of government. One that prevents Canadians throwing out the ruling class that oppresses them.

    Now I completely understand why Canadians don’t want to become part of the US.

    1. Says one who lived through the post-Reagan years without a “throwing out” until 2016. We Canucks were well on our way to turfing out the Lieberals until Trump’s ill-considered bombast got low info voters’ backs up. Thanks a lot.

      1. That’s only because Canadians actually believe the idiotic drivel that their media spews at them.
