Liberals Welcome Mark Carney Into Their Elite Circle, Because Another Globalist Is Just What Canada Needs

Why Carney’s WEF Ties, Carbon Taxes, and Reckless Economic Policies Spell More of the Same for Canadians Under the Liberal Leadership
Let’s break it down, folks. Mark Carney, the supposed “economic savior” for the Liberal Party, was just announced as an advisor to Trudeau’s sinking ship. We’re told he’s here to focus on “economic growth” and help the middle class. Really? Does anyone actually believe that? This guy is the definition of globalist, woke, elite policy, and the idea that he’s going to be the one to turn things around is a joke.
Whether Mark Carney can salvage the sinking Liberal brand is questionable at best, but what’s undeniable is that the party is in free fall, and people are jumping ship. Just last week, the Liberal campaign director Jeremy Broadhurst who was a significant member of the liberal party called it quits, signaling deeper chaos within the ranks. And this all leads back to Carney. I’ve thought this through since last year: nobody within the current Liberal party can lead. It’s detestable, riddled with failure, and there’s zero charisma left in that sinking ship.
If you take a look at Mélanie Joly, she’s been an utter disaster with foreign policy—just look at the Israel debacle, where her inconsistent stances have hurt Canada’s credibility. Then there’s Anita Anand, who promised big savings for Canadians in her role at the Treasury, but where are the results? Nowhere to be seen. Canadians are still waiting for those elusive “big cuts.”
And finally, Chrystia Freeland—she’s presided over one of the worst economic periods in recent history, with soaring debt, inflation, and out-of-touch policies like bragging about biking to work while ordinary Canadians are struggling to pay for gas and groceries. It’s failures all around, and voters see right through it.
Justin Trudeau is headed for a Titanic-like disaster in the next election. As 338Canada’s polling numbers make clear, Trudeau’s ship is going down. And when it does, Mark Carney will be waiting in the wings to take over. The Liberal deep state is banking on Carney being their fiscal savior, hoping he can stand as a counter to the fiscally responsible Pierre Poilievre. But let’s be real: Mark Carney is just Justin Trudeau 2.0. Whether he can succeed or not is anyone’s guess, but it’s clear the Liberals are doubling down on the same disastrous ideology that got them here in the first place.
And believe me Mark Carney isn’t some independent economic genius who’s going to swoop in and save the Liberal Party. No, he’s the ultimate globalist insider, with deep ties to the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the same out-of-touch elites who have been shaping Trudeau’s disastrous policies from day one. The WEF is all about a top-down, centralized control of the economy, and Carney’s their man in Canada. He’s been a leading voice in pushing for the Great Reset—you know, the one where “you’ll own nothing and be happy”—a world where personal freedom and national sovereignty take a backseat to global control.
Carney’s been in bed with the WEF for years, rubbing shoulders with Klaus Schwab and the rest of the Davos crowd who think they know better than regular Canadians. They’re obsessed with their climate agenda, which sounds great on paper until you realize it’s nothing more than an excuse to impose carbon taxes and regulations that cripple businesses and raise the cost of living for everyone except the rich. Carney was one of the loudest voices behind the ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) movement, which forces corporations to prioritize social justice and climate goals over profitability and jobs. And who suffers? Middle-class Canadians who just want to put food on the table and keep the lights on.
Look, this isn’t speculation. Carney’s record speaks for itself. As Governor of the Bank of England, he was the architect of quantitative easing, which means printing more money out of thin air. The result? Inflation skyrocketed, and who got hurt? Not the global elites, not the bankers, but the regular folks whose savings became worthless and whose cost of living exploded. This is exactly what we’ve been seeing under Trudeau’s watch, and Carney is here to push more of the same failed policies.
And let’s get something straight: Mark Carney isn’t just indifferent to tax cuts—he actively opposes them. During his time at the Bank of England, Carney consistently pushed back on fiscal conservatism, instead advocating for higher taxes to fund massive government programs, particularly around climate initiatives. His World Economic Forum (WEF) ties reinforce this mindset. The WEF’s agenda is all about redistribution under the guise of climate action and “equity,” and Carney is right at the forefront. He promotes policies that prioritize environmental and social goals over economic freedom, and tax cuts simply don’t fit into that agenda.
Carney’s support for carbon taxes is one of the clearest examples. He’s been a vocal supporter of these taxes, which disproportionately hurt middle- and lower-income families while doing next to nothing to meaningfully reduce emissions. But here’s why Carney doesn’t care about tax cuts: they don’t fit his globalist vision of top-down control. Instead of allowing Canadians to keep more of their money and spur private sector growth, he’s all in on higher taxes and more government intervention to meet global targets that come straight from the WEF playbook.
And let’s be crystal clear here: these carbon taxes that Trudeau and Carney love so much haven’t stopped a single wildfire, tornado, or hurricane. All they’ve done is drive jobs and manufacturing out of Canada and into countries like China and India, where carbon emissions and pollution are an afterthought. It’s virtue-signaling at its finest.
If you don’t believe me, go to any store in Canada—go to Canadian Tire, check out where that toaster is made. China. Your Dyson vacuum? China. Head over to Mark’s Work Wearhouse, try finding a single sock not made in China. Good luck. You won’t find it. Because what the Trudeau government and Mark Carney’s woke climate agenda have done is force our industries to offshore to places where environmental regulations don’t exist. We’ve exported our emissions, our jobs, and our economic power to countries that don’t give a damn about carbon or pollution.
Meanwhile, here in Canada, we’re being told that we have to pay more for gas and groceries because we need to do our part for the environment. All while Trudeau flies to Davos in his private jet to rub elbows with the global elite, pretending he’s saving the planet on the tax payers dime. It’s a complete farce. The carbon tax isn’t saving the environment; it’s driving up the cost of living and destroying Canadian manufacturing. It’s a scam designed to make elites like Carney and Trudeau look virtuous while the rest of us pay the price.
So, let’s end with this: Canadians, it’s time for real change. This government has failed every generation, from students struggling to find jobs and buy homes, to retirees facing new capital gains taxes. The Liberals have been a disaster for everyone. They’ve crushed opportunities for young people and are now squeezing older generations with their reckless economic policies.
If you think Mark Carney is going to offer something different from Justin Trudeau, think again. He’s just an older, more polished version of Trudeau, with the same World Economic Forum (WEF) ties, the same reckless “spend, spend, spend” approach through quantitative easing (QE), and the same disdain for lowering taxes. Carney isn’t the change we need—he’s more of the same, doubling down on failed globalist policies that harm everyday Canadians.
And oh, by the way—don’t let Chrystia Freeland in on the secret that Mark Carney’s circling her job. She’ll have to bike herself right on out of Parliament! Maybe she can find a new gig lecturing us about climate change from her taxpayer-funded chauffeur. But seriously, folks, Canada deserves better than this circus of failed leadership.
It’s time we broke free from this disastrous, virtue-signaling government and got back to basics—hard work, opportunity, and good old-fashioned freedom. Let’s reclaim our country, rebuild an economy where every generation can actually thrive, and put Canadians first again. Enough of the elite lectures from the likes of Trudeau, Carney, and Freeland. Time to chart a new course!

Alberta government announces review of Trudeau’s euthanasia regime
From LifeSiteNews
Alberta announced it ‘is reviewing how MAID is regulated to ensure there is a consistent process as well as oversight that protects vulnerable Albertans, specifically those living with disabilities or suffering from mental health challenges.’
The Conservative provincial government of Alberta is pushing back against the Canadian federal government’s continued desire to expand euthanasia in the nation, saying it will launch a review of the legislation and policies surrounding the grim practice, including a period of public engagement.
The United Conservative Party (UCP) government under Premier Danielle Smith in a press release said the province needs to make sure that robust safeguards and procedures are in place to protect vulnerable people from being coerced into getting euthanatized under the MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) program.
“Alberta’s government is reviewing how MAID is regulated to ensure there is a consistent process as well as oversight that protects vulnerable Albertans, specifically those living with disabilities or suffering from mental health challenges,” said the government Monday.
The government said a online survey regarding MAiD open to all Albertans who have opinions about the deadly practice will be available until December 20.
“We recognize that medical assistance in dying is a very complex and often personal issue and is an important, sensitive and emotional matter for patients and their families,” said Alberta’s Minister of Justice and Attorney General Mickey Amery.
Amery said it is important to ensure this process has the “necessary supports to protect the most vulnerable.”
The government said that it will also be engaging with academics, medical associations, public bodies, as well as religious organizations and “regulatory bodies, advocacy groups” regarding MAiD
The government said all information gathered through this consultation will “help inform the Alberta government’s planning and policy decision making, including potential legislative changes regarding MAID in Alberta.”
When it comes to MAiD, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government sought to expand it from the chronically and terminally ill to those suffering solely from mental illness.
However, in February, after pushback from pro-life, medical, and mental health groups as well as most of Canada’s provinces, the federal government delayed the mental illness expansion until 2027.
Alberta’s Minister of Mental Health and Addiction Dan Williams said that the UCP government has been “clear” that it does not “support the provision of medically assisted suicide for vulnerable Albertans facing mental illness as their primary purpose for seeking their own death.”
“Instead, our goal is to build a continuum of care where vulnerable Albertans can live in long-term health and fulfilment. We look forward to the feedback of Albertans as we proceed with this important issue,” he noted.
The Alberta government said that as MAiD is “federally legislated and regulated” it is main job will be to try and make sure that it protects “vulnerable individuals” as much as possible.
Alberta’s Minister of Health Adriana LaGrange reaffirmed that the Alberta government “does not support expanding MAID eligibility to include those facing depression or mental illness and continues to call on the federal government to end this policy altogether.”
The number of Canadians killed by lethal injection under the nation’s MAiD program since 2016 stands at close to 65,000, with an estimated 16,000 deaths in 2023 alone. Many fear that because the official statistics are manipulated the number may be even higher.
To combat Canadians being coerced into MAiD, which LifeSiteNews has covered, the combat pro-life Delta Hospice Society (DHS) is offering a free “Do Not Euthanize Defense Kit” to help vulnerable people “protect themselves” from any healthcare workers who might push euthanasia on the defenseless.

The Pathetic, Predictable Demise of Echo Journalism
It can be safely said that the 2024 U.S. presidential election couldn’t have gone much worse for legacy media in that country. Their biases, conceits and outright falsehoods throughout the arduous years-long slog toward Nov. 5 were exposed that night. Resulting in the simultaneous disaster (for them) of Donald Trump winning a thunderous re-election and their predictive polling being shown to be Democratic propaganda.
Only a handful of non-establishment pollsters (Rasmussen, AtlasIntel) got Trump’s electoral college and overall vote correct. Example: One poll by Ann Selzer in Iowa—a highly-rated pollster with a supposedly strong record—showed a huge swing towards Harris in the final week of the election race, putting her three points up over Trump. He ended up winning Iowa by 13.2 points (Selzer now says she’s retiring.)
Throughout, these experts seemed incapable of finding half the voter pool. By putting their thumb on the scale during debates, the representatives of the so-called Tiffany networks and newspapers signalled abdication of their professional code. Their reliance on scandal-sheet stories was particularly glaring.
Just a few lowlights: “the brouhaha over a shock comedian at a Trump rally calling Puerto Rico “a floating island of garbage”. Unhinged outgoing POTUS Biden then called GOP voters “garbage”. So Trump made an appearance as a garbage man, to the snarky disapproval of CBS News chief anchor Nora O’Donnell.
Then there was Whoopi Goldberg on The View predicting Trump will “break up interracial marriages and redistribute the white spouses: “He’s going to deport and you, put the white guy with someone else… The man is out there!” Media ran with this one, too.
Worse, disinformation and lying reached such a proportion that Team Trump turned its campaign away from the networks and legacy papers down the stretch, creating a new information pathway of podcasts and social media sites (such as Joe Rogan, Theo Von and Adin Ross) that promise to be the preferred route for future candidates looking for non-traditional voters. A few prominent media owners sought to save themselves by refusing to endorse a presidential candidate, but the resulting tantrum by their Kamala-loving staff negated the effort.
In the past, poor performances by the Media Party might be dismissed or ignored. But the cataclysmic ratings drops for CNN and MSNBC paired with collapse in sales for blue-blood rags such as the New York Times, Washington Post and L.A. Times spoke to the public’s disgust with people they’ve always trusted to play it straight.
(Now Comcast has announced it’s spinning off MSNBC and its news bundle to save their profitable businesses. Staff members in these places are now panicking. As such the new administration promises to be indifferent to the former media powers-that-be as Trump mounts radical plans to recast the U.S. government. )
As noted here the disgraceful exercise in journalism was cheered on by their compatriots here in Canada. “In the hermetically sealed media world of Canada, natives take their cues from CNN and MSNBC talking points both of which employ Canadians in highly visible roles. (Here’s expat Ali Velshi famously describing on NBC that the 2020 George Floyd riots that burned for weeks— destroying billions in damages while resulting in multipole deaths— as “generally peaceful”.)
The narratives of Russiagate, drinking bleach, “fine people” to Hunter Biden’s laptop— long ago debunked down south— are still approved wisdom in Canada’s chattering class. Especially if America’s conflagration election can be used to demonstrate the good sense and judgment of Canada’s managerial and media class.
The clincher for star-struck Canadians was the overwhelming Kamala love from the Hollywood crowd. Virtually every high-profile actor/ singer/ writer embraced the woman who was parachuted into the nomination in a coup— even as the same glitterati raved about anti-democratic Trump. From Beyoncé to Bilie Eilish to Bruce Springsteen, their support was been a winner in Canada’s fangirl/ fanboy culture.”
Talk about backing a loser. Which leaves us asking what to expect from formerly respected media in the upcoming (it will come, won’t it?) defenestration of Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh, probably in spring of 2025. One Toronto Star piece might provide a clue to the bunkered approach of Canada’s globalists. “Europe is leaving Donald Trump’s America behind. Should Canada do the same? As American democracy dives into darkness, Canada is facing difficult choices.”
CPC leader Pierre Poilievre has made it abundantly clear his thoughts on the bias of media. To save billions, he is making a major overhaul— even closure of CBC (not Radio Canada)— as a campaign pledge. He’s also said he will remove the slush fund now propping up failed establishment news organizations that employ unionized workers bent of crushing the Conservatives.
His scorn is obvious after watching media’s reverential treatment of Trudeau’s fake “murdered” Rez children stunt or the silence accompanying PMJT’s sacking of his indigenous Justice minister Jodie Wilson Raybould. Lately, a deadpan Poilievre humiliated a callow CBC reporter quoting “experts” by asking her “what experts?” Her unpreparedness leaves her floundering as Poilievre calls her question another “CBC smear job”.
Perhaps the classic Poilievre humbling of a reporter occurred in 2023 in a Kelowna apple orchard when a reporter seeking to score points with his Woke colleagues saw the bushwhack rebound on him. After numerous failed attempts at belling the cat, the local reporter played his ace card.
Question: Why should Canadians trust you with their vote, given … y’know … not, not just the sort of ideological inclination in terms of taking the page out of Donald Trump’s book, but, also —
Poilievre: (incredulous) What are you talking about? What page? What page? Can you gimme a page? Gimme the page. You keep saying that … “
No page was produced and the cringeworthy interview collapsed.
Needless to say, the reporter was absolved by his water-carrying colleagues. Here was Shannon Proudfoot of the Toronto Star: “Kicking a journalist in the shins over and over then turning the exchange into a social-media flex is telling on yourself…” Venerable CBC panelist/ Star columnist Chantal Hébert echoed the pauvre p’tit take. “Agreed”.
For these press box placeholders it’s all too reminiscent of the acid-drenched style of former PM Stephen Harper, a stance that turned them to Trudeau cheerleaders in 2015. Which is to say we shouldn’t have high hopes for balance when the writ is finally dropped.
Poilievre has several more ministers (Melissa Lantsman, Garrett Genuis) skilled in exposing media imbalance, so we can expect full-blown pushback from the paid-for media from the usual suspects when Trudeau finally succumbs to reality. One drawback for the Conservatives could be the absence of national podcasters such as Rogan or Von to which they can pivot.
But make no mistake, However much Canada’s press corps denies it, the public has turned away from Mr Blackface and the politics of privilege. They’d best anticipate a rough ride ahead.
