Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

Canada is tragically a nation in decline. For a number of years, the key economic and quality of life metrics have slowly but surely worsened. This has happened while comparable countries have done much better. And it’s largely been a policy choice. We are not in accidental decline, but managed decline.

This is where we find ourselves, as we are on the cusp of a momentous national election. The choice voters face on Monday is whether to continue down this path or to turn things around by going in a different direction.

He dominated Canadian politics for a decade. But almost nothing has been seen or heard of Justin Trudeau since he stepped down as prime minister last month.

His Liberal Party, with a new leader, has the advantage as the country heads into a general election on Monday.

Just so long as it can avoid reminding people of the scandals and missteps that eventually ended his political career.

Think your quality of life has declined since 2015?

Data suggests you’re right.

In 2015, Canada ranked 9th for quality of life — considering factors like cost of living, climate, access to home ownership, and more.

Of all the reasons not to elect Mark Carney as the next prime minister of Canada on Monday, his history as the world’s leading corporate booster of achieving “net zero emissions” by 2050 is the biggest.

Putting Carney, the UN’s Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance, and co-chair of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero — “relentlessly, ruthlessly, absolutely focused on the transition to net zero” in Carney’s words — will mean cutting our own economic throat.

AC/DC’s Thunderstruck is blasted when Mark Carney walks into rallies and events.

Odd song choice for an expensive suit trying to portray the image of a solid, steady banker whose economic brilliance will rescue Canadians from the wreckage caused by the Liberal party members he leads, endorses, and advised for years.

Has there ever been a politician who has been worse at telling untruths, mistruths and falsehoods than Liberal Leader Mark Carney? Yes, yes, they all twist facts to suit whatever nonsense they are pushing on a given day, they omit important details that contradict their claims and they imply their opponents are guilty of the most heinous of crimes. But Carney is unique in that he is a virtual fountain of claims and comments that are easily disprovable.

Taxpayers can’t hope that any of the major parties in Monday’s election will balance the budget soon, not even the Conservatives.

Indeed, in most Western democracies politicians of all stripes have given up on the idea of making expenditures equal revenues. The best that can be hoped for is reducing the debt-to-GDP ratio.

What do you suppose it is like to be Michael Ignatieff right now? Gosh, he must really think the good Lord has it out for him. In 2006, as a stylish liberal intellectual with a star reputation in Europe, he rolled up his sleeves and ran for the Commons seat in Etobicoke — Lakeshore. His ultimate ambitions were no secret, but he thought he had better learn the ropes first, get yelled at on a few doorsteps and absorb the sights and scents of an actual Canadian neighbourhood. In 2009, the suffering Liberals turned to him as a new leader and anointed saviour, with other dignitaries flinging themselves out of his path to make way.

When Stephen Matthews votes in Canada’s election on Monday, the country’s cost of living will be at the forefront of his mind.

“I’m a lifelong Liberal but I’m definitely leaning Conservative,” he said as he picked up his iced coffee order at a Starbucks in the bellwether constituency of Peterborough about an hour’s drive from Toronto.

The country’s topsy turvy election has shifted one way and then another.

Deficits, deficits and more deficits.

That’s Liberal Leader Mark Carney’s plan when it comes to budgeting, as he hopes to lead the nation for the next four years.

Many Canadians are alarmed at the sheer scale at which the Liberals have piled up debt over the past decade. Since the Trudeau Liberals came to power in 2015, the federal debt has more than doubled.
