Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

Canadian elections have become an auction for the votes of old age pensioners and the Boomer class, including primarily those who savor the privilege of indifference owing to the greater privilege of solvency. Indeed, the essence of Canadian elections has become the embedding of ideological programming for returns at the ballot box. Ultimately, as Michael Bliss writes in his history of prime ministers, Right Honourable Men, Canadian politics highlights “the relation between a paternal government and dependent citizens,” which has been ”expanded and abused” to the present day. 

“The luckiest fucking guy in Canadian politics.” That’s what former Quebec premier Jean Charest reportedly called Mark Carney on the eve of this year’s federal election. He wasn’t wrong. When Carney started kicking the Liberal Party’s tires in late 2024, smart money was on Pierre Poilievre to win the next election. Poilievre had a double-digit lead in the polls, and Ottawa was bracing for the coming Tory revolution.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has identified 12 cases where grocers engaged in “maple washing,” a practice where companies use Canadian branding, like the maple leaf, to promote imported food products.

The violations stemmed from complaints filed with the CFIA between February and May, and all but one involved national grocery chains, the agency told CBC News in an email.

The CFIA can impose fines of up to $15,000 per offence. No fines or other penalties were issued in the cases, including one that took four months to fully resolve.

Something is happening in Canada that should concern everyone, regardless of our political, spiritual, or cultural affiliations. Fundamental Canadian beliefs, values that have long formed the bedrock of our national character, are being trampled under the boots of small but noisy special-interest groups.

Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Liberals have been enjoying a political honeymoon for a while. Virtually every party, leader and government experiences this for a few months, and sometimes up to a year. The polls mostly work in their favour. Policies and ideas are usually viewed favourably. They can seemingly do no wrong in people’s eyes.

The one constant about political honeymoons? They always come to an end. There’s an early sign that Carney’s honeymoon period is about to come to a close, too.

I bet insulting Trump will restore his standing in the polls.
