  1. Canada is like a 40 year old hippie who needs to quit sleeping on America’s couch, eating America’s food from America’s fridge, and get a job with those multiple humanities degrees as a barista at Tim Hortons.

  2. Carney authoured a book. Who knew?

    Here’s a one star review…I know what you’re saying – anyone can find a bad review and post it. True – but try finding a review in Canada that doesn’t slobber all over him. Besides, this guy read the book so you don’t have to.

    Mark Carney’s Value(s): Building a Better World for All attempts to wrap itself in the moral prestige of Adam Smith. It’s a clever ploy—use the name of capitalism’s most famous philosopher to justify a technocratic, climate-driven reinvention of the global economy.
    But a closer reading shows that Carney’s book isn’t a restoration of Smith’s moral capitalism—it’s more of a hijacking.
    Adam Smith believed that markets work best when embedded in culture and constrained by virtue.
    Not imposed virtue.
    Not metrics handed down by supranational councils.
    Real virtue—earned, cultivated, practiced.
    He wrote that society rests on the “main pillar” of justice, not ESG scores.
    He trusted in decentralization, in local norms, and in the reputation-driven behavior of moral individuals—not in global boards telling farmers, families, and businesses what their “values” should be.
    Carney pays lip service to this.
    He references Smith’s Theory of Moral Sentiments to add weight to his argument that capitalism must be reformed to serve “stakeholders,” the planet, and future generations.
    But what follows is less a revival of Smith’s vision than a moral sleight of hand.
    Every chapter leans toward centralization.
    Climate policy becomes the new compass for all finance. ESG ratings become morality proxies.
    Central banks are cast as ethical shepherds. Huh?
    The result? A system where your values no longer matter—only the ones approved by elite institutions. It’s not about liberty or markets. It’s about compliance.
    About nudging—then mandating—your economic behavior to fit a net-zero blueprint built by people you’ll never vote for.
    Carney doesn’t restore capitalism. He retools it—into a machine that looks moral, sounds inclusive, and acts autocratic.
    Smith’s invisible hand is being replaced with a very visible fist.

    This man is a clear and present danger.

    1. Good for you if you managed to read it all .I found it nearly unreadable. It struck me as a collection of quotes from so called intellectuals assembled in a noncoherent manner in an attempt to make the author appear much more intelligent than he is. It failed. The other outstanding feature was the focus on ” humility” ,which is totally lacking. It appears to me Carny has no grasp of the meaning of “values” nor “humility”. By the way ,your analysis is spot on and very good.

    2. ” a technocratic, climate-driven reinvention of the global economy.”

      That’s insane, and dangerous. And *unsupported* by any legitimate science.

  3. The only thing Canadian Voters need to know Trudeau’s Liberals in 9.5 years increased the National debt to 2,200,000,000,000 from 1,000,000,000,000! Can you think of one thing that is better? Carney will be the same! Carney and his socialists party will try to destroy the Oil, Agriculture, Mining , Forestry of the West!
    Kick their asses Poilievre!

    1. I hope PP kicks ass and gets a majority.
      I hope Elections Canada is trustworthy.
      They allowed some 90 names on the ballot in PP’s riding. That is wrong.

    2. Liberals long ago figured out that Canadians tune out once the zeros number more than three.

      1 million seconds = 11.5 years

      1 trillion seconds = 30,500 years

  4. Unless the Fedetal Liberals can control and profit from Saskatchewan’s fertilizer industry, food is going to get much more expensive. Two million Canadians are now going to food banks, four million experience food insecurity, a new record forCanadian socialists. Hunger causes unpredictable behavior and Socialist control of the masses is not yet completely secured; is Martial Law coming again to Canadians?

    1. We’ll have to remind the Lieberal voters when they’re all in the daily bug lines: “elbows up! elbows up!”

    1. Food banks may be the leading growth industry of the last 50 years.

      And remember who was PM when they started.

  5. We read Lord Carney’s vision for canada just the other day, and him and Trudeau are more than halfway there, this post nation place is coming along nicely for them. Not for you. I want to bail out.
