Conrad Black: Carney is fearmongering his way into the PMO

As was widely predicted, including in this column, U.S. President Donald Trump’s initial brinkmanship remarks about Canada and tariffs were his usual shock and awe technique for commencing negotiations. At his “Liberation Day” ceremony on the White House lawn on Wednesday, almost no new tariffs were proposed for Canada and his only direct references to Canada were about our exorbitant and antediluvian supply management measures that cushion the incomes of a large number of Canada’s farmers with artificially inflated prices. This has been a particular bugbear of People’s Party Leader Maxime Bernier and a ludicrous anomaly that we should not have needed the president of the United States to highlight for us. The best way to deal with farm income insufficiencies is direct income supplements to the farmers, not forcing the entire population to overpay for what they put on their breakfast table.

Keir Starmer to admit globalisation has failed millions

The prime minister will declare an end to globalisation and admit that it has failed millions of voters as the fallout from President Trump’s tariffs reverberates around the world.

In his first significant intervention since the United States imposed sweeping charges on imports, Sir Keir Starmer will say tomorrow that the seismic global economic effects prove the government must “move further and faster” to boost growth with supply-side reforms.

Carney is a globalist profiteer who carries water for the folks that shipped your jobs out of the country and imported cheap labour to depress wages and impoverish your family.

Carney is so despicable that he will keep Canada’s oil in the ground so he and his pals can exploit the “energy transition” for personal gain.

Carney has also invited fellow globalist predator Mark Wiseman of the Century 100 Initiative to assist in Canada’s destruction through mass immigration.

Carney is your enemy not Trump.

Mark Carney will not make Canada more prosperous

As economic strategies go, Liberal Leader Mark Carney is the ultimate confidence man. He wants to tax what Canada exports and subsidize what we import. Judging by the poll numbers, many Canadians are somehow persuaded this will lead us to prosperity.

As a candidate for the leadership of the Liberal Party, he pitched himself as an outsider and an unconventional politician who will focus on “getting our economy back on track” – an outsider who’d advised the Liberal government since 2020, during which time Canada’s per capita GDP has been shrinking 0.4 per cent a year, the worst performance amongst the top 50 developed economies, and eventually became the chair of Justin Trudeau’s 2024 Task Force on Economic Growth. And in true confidence man-style, he wrote a book about 21st century economic governance, Value(s), that is full of outdated, conventional economic theories rooted in the 1970s – an economy we no longer live in.

The Frozen North – Canada’s Economic Stagnation

On March 24, Canada’s newly appointed Prime Minister Mark Carney called a snap election for April 28. If the economic record of his Liberal Party, which has been in office since Justin Trudeau’s victory in 2015, is a major factor in voters’ decisions, bookies would be giving you pretty long odds on them.

Carney Liberals have lost 3 MP candidates potentially implicated in foreign interference

The Liberal Party under Prime Minister Mark Carney have seen three MP candidates drop out of the election race over allegations of foreign interference.

The latest to resign was Liberal MP Paul Chiang from Ontario. Chiang, who Carney defended as a “person of integrity” before the MP decided to drop out, dominated headlines after news broke that he suggested Canadian citizens turn rival Conservative candidate Joe Tay over to the Chinese embassy in Toronto to cash in on the communist regime’s HK$1 million (CA$183,915) bounty on the Conservative.

LILLEY: Mark Carney avoids taxes but expects you to pay your ‘fair share’

Mark Carney says Canadians, including Canadian companies, should pay their fair share of taxes.

The problem is that the Liberal leader thinks that applies to you but not to him or the companies he helps run.

According to calculations done by the NDP, Mark Carney has helped Brookfield Asset Management – the company he was formerly chair of – avoid $5.3 billion in Canadian taxes since 2021.

Inside Mark Carney’s weirdly dreary campaign, where the dullness is the point

VAUGHAN, ONT. — Liberal Leader Mark Carney strolled into an election campaign event on Monday past a ghostly figure.

In a hallway near the main entrance of a Toronto-area trades college, a newspaper front page is framed on the wall. It features a photo of former prime minister Justin Trudeau visiting the school, sporting a grey hard hat and rapturously engaged in what the former leader said he loved most: campaigning.

Mark Carney is trying to market globalism as a ‘Canadian value.’ Will it work?

The storm over Donald Trump’s threatened tariffs over the Canadian border crisis has been baked into a vote-winning meme by Canada’s Liberal Party. Yet with an election only weeks away on April 28, can a sentimental appeal to a vanished Canada secure a win for Mark Carney?

Trump’s tariffs were expected to hit Canada on Wednesday’s “Liberation Day,” refueling a furor over Canadian sovereignty which has led some to say this is “shaping up to be the trade war election.”

Standing up for supply management is not standing up for Canadians

What do you call a Canadian political leader, in the age of Trump, who seems to put their own interests “ahead of the country” in the matter of Canada-U.S. relations?

It depends on the province, and it depends on its particular interests. If you’re Premier Danielle Smith in Alberta, and the particular interest is oil and gas, and you really lean into it — “Our province is no longer agreeable to subsidizing other large provinces who are fully capable of funding themselves,” she said last month — you get called a traitor and a quisling.

LILLEY: Carney tells another fib – the man can’t recognize the truth

Mark Carney’s sales pitch to Canadians is that he is an economist and the man who saved two economies in crisis.

But his claims don’t really live up to scrutiny, including a claim that he made on Thursday while responding to Trump’s latest tariffs.


I get a sense that Carney believes his honeymoon is permanent and Canadians will uncritically eat any shit he offers.

Crisis for Canadian Jewry

… At the eye of the storm is the Liberal Party of Canada and its new leader, Prime Minister Mark Carney. Many would argue that in the past decade, the Liberal government under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau increasingly empowered antisemitic elements. In the name of “diversity”, “equity” and “inclusion”, it has encouraged extreme radical ideologies and runaway antisemitism. It has failed to act decisively against imams who call for the shedding of Jewish blood. It has ignored incitement on university campuses, tolerated the spread of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish libels and defamation through public broadcasters that it funds. In the process, it has encouraged antisemitic opinions to intensify and be legitimized.

Carney pledges $150M of your money to buy fealty with ‘underfunded’ CBC

Liberal Leader Mark Carney said on Friday that his government would provide an initial $150-million annual funding increase to CBC and Radio-Canada as part of a new mandate for the public broadcaster.

“When we compare ourselves to the U.K., France or Germany, we see that our public broadcaster is underfunded,” Carney said in French during a campaign stop in Montreal. “That has to change.”

That initial funding top-up could rise, Carney said.
