Is Prime Minister Mark Carney about to pull a Jean Chretien?
According to media reports, cabinet has been asked to come up with suggestions for steep cuts to program spending over the next three years.
He’ll lie, it’s what Liberals do.
Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government
Brace for layoffs, budget watchdog says, as Carney government aims to slash spending by $25B
OTTAWA — The Liberal government wants to find roughly $25 billion in annual savings from the federal budget within the next three years, the Star has confirmed, a higher than expected target that the independent Parliamentary Budget Officer says will likely require civil service layoffs and cuts to funding for outside organizations.
The clarity about the goal of the government’s incoming expenditure review — two days after it first became public — sheds new light on how Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government is aiming for almost twice the level of internal “savings” than the Liberals promised during the spring federal election campaign.
This does not appear to be the massacre the media is hyping it to be.
GREEN: Carney government should swiftly axe foolish EV mandate
Two recent events exemplify the fundamental irrationality that is Canada’s electric vehicle (EV) policy.
First, the Carney government re-committed to Justin Trudeau’s EV transition mandate that by 2035 all (that’s 100%) of new car sales in Canada consist of “zero-emission vehicles” including battery EVs, plug-in hybrid EVs and fuel-cell powered vehicles (which are virtually non-existent in today’s market). This policy has been a foolish idea since inception. The mass of car-buyers in Canada showed little desire to buy them in 2022, when the government announced the plan, and they still don’t want them.
How Canada’s shift to the EU may provoke fallout with Trump
Canada’s ambitious strategy to turn to the European Union to wean itself off American dependency for military equipment could be difficult to deliver and result in political fallout, warns former defence and security officials in a new report.
After assessing the political and fiscal risks of the Canada-EU Security and Defence Partnership, signed by Prime Minister Mark Carney in Brussels in June, the authors found that “achieving the partnership’s full potential is highly uncertain” because of obstacles on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
Those obstacles include trade tensions with the United States, division among the European nations and weak links between the federal and provincial governments.
Trump may not care at all seeing it as one more stumble in Canada’s Elbows Up death march.
But if it means participation in un-scrutinized hastily thrown together “deals” that line the pockets of third parties named Brookfield then it’s all good!
GOLDSTEIN: Trump forcing us to admit our own economic failures
Canadians should be asking themselves why it took an American president launching a trade war against us for our federal and provincial governments to finally start addressing our economic problems they should have fixed decades ago.
Canada is a Banana Republic which is why I was never upset at Trump’s annexation jibes.
Elbows Up? More like “Heads in Ass”.
We have been taken for a ride by our “elites” who have conspired to turn Canada into a 3RD World Dumpster for their personal profit.
They should be jailed.
Carney’s record on foreign interference is uninspiring, so far
Many of us who have been involved in the fight against foreign interference and in establishing a foreign transparency registry are frustrated by the new government’s apparent lack of concern on this issue. Foreign interference by hostile regimes was not mentioned in the Speech from the Throne read by King Charles, nor in Prime Minister Mark Carney’s mandate letter to cabinet.
Jesse Kline: Carney can have my gas car when he pries it from my cold, dead hands
Of all the coercive environmental policies implemented by the Trudeau government, the electric vehicle mandate was among the worst, but Prime Minister Mark Carney has been mum on whether Ottawa still intends to force Canadians to ride around in souped-up Power Wheels.
Canadian pro-freedom group sounds alarm over Liberal plans to revive internet censorship bill
One of Canada’s top pro-democracy groups has sounded the alarm by warning that the Canadian federal government is planning to revive a controversial Trudeau-era internet censorship bill that lapsed.
The Democracy Fund (TDF), in a recent press release, warned about plans by the Liberal government under Prime Minister Mark Carney to bring back a form of Bill C-63. The bill, which lapsed when the election was called earlier this year, aimed to regulate online speech, which could mean “mass censorship” of the internet.
Success of Canada-Europe defence pact uncertain, former government officials warn
A security and defence pact that Prime Minister Mark Carney signed with the European Union last month faces major obstacles that will likely slow or limit progress in delivering benefits to Canada, former government officials warn.
The Security and Defence Partnership, inked by Mr. Carney ahead of a NATO summit in June, was pitched as an effort to reduce Canada’s reliance on U.S military contractors and generate new business for Canada’s defence industry. It ushers the way for Canada to join in a European Union push to re-arm itself in the face of an expansionist Russia under President Vladimir Putin.
So long as Brookfield profits it’s all good.
Carney risks boosting Western alienation by leaning on his ‘wise men from the East’
Many years ago, a Liberal prime minster, Lester B. Pearson, failed to secure a majority government after several tries, and prepared to retire. But before doing so, he wanted to inject new blood into the upper echelons of his government, and particularly to bolster its base in Quebec, where support for secession was increasing. So Mr. Pearson recruited three impressive Quebeckers into federal politics.
Becoming known as the “three wise men from the East,” they were Jean Marchand, a strong champion of labour rights in Quebec; Gérard Pelletier, a prominent Quebec journalist and intellectual; and Pierre Trudeau, another Quebec intellectual, constitutional scholar, and champion of individual rights and Canadian federalism.
Alienation is Carney’s objective.
Liberals could find out soon whether their rushed projects bill will spark another Idle No More
If Liberal MPs experience the “long hot summer” of protest that some Aboriginal activist groups have promised in response to the federal government’s new major-projects legislation, they won’t be feeling that heat anywhere close to Parliament Hill.
Politicians were already starting to flee Ottawa, off to their home ridings or vacations for the summer break, before Bill C-5 received its rubber stamp from the Senate and royal assent on June 26. They left behind what could be a ticking time bomb: the Building Canada Act, allowing the federal cabinet to fast-track major infrastructure projects by identifying them as being in the “national interest” and bypassing the normal conditions and approval rules.
Hell they’ll organize and fund it
Envoy says Canada is coming closer to recognizing Palestinian statehood
OTTAWA — The Palestinian ambassador to Canada says she feels Ottawa is on the brink of officially recognizing statehood for her people, as she also takes note of tougher language from Canada on Israel’s actions in Gaza.
“Accountability means everything to the Palestinian people. That’s all we are looking for,” said Mona Abuamara, who is at the end of her four-year term as the chief representative of the Palestinian General Delegation to Canada.
WTF?

Braid: Carney promises development but keeps the Trudeau laws that hinder it
A friendly breeze blows out of Ottawa these days, but there’s a chance it’s nothing more than wind.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is all about development, energy, pipelines — one big Canadian economy.
He speaks of Alberta’s energy industry with none of the contempt so common in the Justin Trudeau years.
Public skeptical over Canada’s high immigration quotas: Government report
OTTAWA — Focus groups struck to gauge public sentiment on the federal government’s immigration policy reacted negatively to high immigration quotas.
The public opinion panels, commissioned by the Privy Council Office and facilitated by Toronto pollster The Strategic Council showed most respondents reacted negatively to Canada’s mass immigration policies, according to reports published in Blacklock’s Reporter.
Canada’s demographic is being so drastically altered that soon all polls will support open borders and 3rd world immigration.
