What, exactly, did the people of Canada elect Mark Carney to accomplish?
I think this is a question worth serious consideration as we round in on the prime minister’s first 100 days (or so) in office, and as he’s demonstrated that “elbows up” seems to consist of — rescinding taxes and counter-tariffs that have irked Donald Trump. Carney came to power on an understanding that he would assert Canada’s rights, and even dignity. He inherited an electorate entirely willing to suffer some economic pain in order to do so. And he came to his position with a general understanding that sometimes you have to punch a bully in the nose just to make a point — even if that bully is bigger, stronger and richer than you.
Those that voted for Carney did so to satisfy their smug anti-Americanism and through a tremendous feat of self induced amnesia bought the LPC grift hook, line and sinker.
The rest of us knew “Elbows Up” was an empty slogan and the LPC was and remains as corrupt as ever.
