Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

There were several rounds of chatter over the summer and into the fall about whether the honeymoon was over for Prime Minister Mark Carney – and if not yet, when that moment would come.

Elbows sagged; President Donald Trump went on blowing up like a puffer fish; tariffs were carving up certain sectors of the economy and regions of the country; CUSMA hadn’t been rescued; the only shovels in the ground on major projects would have been digging anyway; groceries, gas and mortgage payments were still gouging.

It isn’t about the Honeymoon, it’s about his voters holding their breath in the hope they pass out before having to admit they made a horrific mistake that has created a lost generation of Canada’s youth.

The fairest way to judge someone is by the standards they set for themselves.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is failing his own standards on spending.

If one thing is clear from Prime Minister Mark Carney’s economic update this week, it’s that he’s taking progressive voters for granted.

Headlines like “A Canada for All” sound nice. As do statements like: “the government is protecting the essential social programs that give Canadians a fair chance to get ahead — child care, dental care, and pharmacare.”

You have to be kidding. That is the only reaction many Canadians will have when they fully understand what Ottawa has done to our citizenship laws. This is not a technical adjustment buried in legislation. It is a fundamental shift in what it means to be Canadian, and it risks turning something that once carried weight into something that is handed out with little regard for connection, commitment, or contribution.

Bill C-3, passed into law last December, removes the long-standing limit on how citizenship is passed down to children born abroad. For years, Canada restricted citizenship by descent to one generation after a family left the country. That rule was not arbitrary. It was grounded in common sense. It ensured that citizenship remained tied to people with a real, ongoing relationship to Canada. Now, that guardrail is gone, and citizenship can be passed down across multiple generations, even when families have not lived here for decades.

Is this it?

Is this all a galaxy brain in control of a government within sight of 50 per cent in the polls can offer in the midst of a crisis? A bit of a nip here, a bit of a tuck there, but all-in-all keeping Canada on the same rotten economic trajectory?

Welcome to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s “spring economic update”: continuity of Justin Trudeau, a bit of a fiddling while Canada burns.

Two-thirds of Canadians believe the national economy is on the wrong track and don’t believe it will improve in the short-term, according to a new poll.

The poll from Canada Pulse Insights for CityNews found that only 33 per cent believe the economy is heading in the right direction.

Canada’s spy agency says five countries, including China and India, remain the main perpetrators of foreign interference and espionage in this country despite all being singled out in a public inquiry into these activities.

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service also identified Russia, Iran and Pakistan as countries that engage in foreign meddling and spying in Canada.

I am starting to believe that the Carney government allows these foreign powers free range for special considerations in return.
