It is typical of people like Liberal Leader Mark Carney, who have spent significant time on either side of the increasingly porous border between the public and private sectors, that they have amassed a variety of side-appointments to various public and private entities, corporate boards and governmental and quasi-governmental advisory boards.
Germany’s once-firm stance against Russian gas imports is beginning to unravel as the country considers restarting the sabotaged Nord Stream pipelines.
Not because it wants to.
The Liberal campaign in 2025 looks a lot like a bullfight — and the Canadian people are the raging bull.
The party really wants you to focus on its new matador, dressed in his shiny central banker suit, waving around his little red scarf. Except the scarf isn’t red, it’s orange. And it’s emblazoned with Donald Trump’s hate-inducing face.
Calls are mounting for Liberal Leader Mark Carney to fire Toronto-area candidate Paul Chiang, who said people should bring a Conservative politician to the local Chinese consulate to collect a bounty on him for criticizing Beijing’s crackdown on Hong Kong.
NDP candidate Jenny Kwan urged Mr. Carney to drop Mr. Chiang for his comments on Conservative candidate Joe Tay. “He advocated for people to bring him to the Chinese consulate to collect the bounty,” Ms. Kwan told reporters Sunday during a campaign event in Port Moody, B.C. “In what universe is this normal?”
CARNEY/TRUMP LOVE-IN LOOKS DIRTY AS HELL
“EDITORIAL NOTE: Since we published, political trolls on social media and here have tried to discredit this story with the talking point that Carney was not at Brookfield when this deal was made. We say that in CAPS in the story below but as with all propaganda — the lie is in the twist. I’ve shortened it to fit the SS format better and fixed some typos and done a minor reedit for clarity.”
Big story on the Carney/Kushner/Brookfield deal. Senate Finance Committee had lots of question in 2022 — when Carney was there. How is this story influencing the Trump/Carney relationship? SS full report.https://t.co/FQZcL0sX2d pic.twitter.com/shC0UGJ1YK

At the end of the pier at the Nanisivik Naval Facility sit three unused jetties.
Ice smothers the remote base for most of the year, encasing its empty helipad, site office and diesel tanks – then melting away as the seasons pass.
When it was commissioned in 2007, Nanisivik was meant to signal Canada’s commitment to protecting its Arctic territories.
Another federal election and the Mark Carney-Justin Trudeau Liberals are employing their tried-and-true tactic, made famous by the legendary Liberal campaign organizer Sen. Keith Davey in the 1980 election, to “screw the West, we’ll take the rest.”
Donald Trump and his tariffs will not be the only key issue that determines who will be prime minister after April, 28. Canada has been plagued by a diverse set of problems for years, all of which will be remembered by voters on election day, including immigration.
Prior to Trump’s election and his decision to threaten Canada, one of the biggest controversies in Canada was the abrupt end of an uncontested pillar in Canadian political culture — immigration. It crumbled as if struck by a sledgehammer after just a few years of the Trudeau government’s careless mass-immigration policies.
The Star whitewashes the Century Initiative of course.
Pierre Poilievre has the ‘Century Initiative’ and its links to Mark Carney in his crosshairs. So what is it?
When Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre mentioned the “Century Initiative” at a campaign rally in Hamilton, Ont., the crowd booed loudly.
Poilievre has made an attack on the immigration-focused group a part of his stump speech in the first week of the campaign, and has criticized Liberal Leader Mark Carney for appointing one of the group’s co-founders to a key advisory council.
Century Initiative co-founder Mark Wiseman says "a lot of the screening" of immigrants is "a waste of time".

To be as well-informed as possible about the present election campaign, I have read Liberal Leader Mark Carney’s book Value(s): Building a Better World For All . I knew before I began about the author’s impassioned climate views and his faith in authoritarian regulatory government as the method for imposing upon people goals he holds to be in their long-term interest even, and especially, if they are not immediately shared by the public. It is the most turgid work of a political leader that I have read since Hitler’s Mein Kampf, (though in no other respect would I compare it to that book although Hitler, hard though it is to believe, at least as an author, had a better sense of humour than Mr. Carney). The title is also the most sanctimonious of a political leader that I can remember since the retired Irish Taoiseach Charles Haughey, (who was caught with both hands in the cookie bin up to his shoulders), who modestly styled his memoir “Conscience of a Nation.”
Why conspiracy theorists are trying so hard to falsely link Mark Carney and Jeffrey Epstein
If attack ads are any measure, Mark Carney is squarely in the political big leagues.
In the weeks since he entered the Liberal leadership race, ads both for and against him have sprouted across social media. While mudslinging is par for the course in politics, one particularly dark current has worked — without evidence — to tie him to Jeffrey Epstein, the notorious American financier and trafficker of underage girls who, though dead for six years, remains a very current fixation in far-right circles
Not trying at all, in fact it’s pretty darn easy.
Canada’s bought media know no shame.
It tells us something about the state of our country, the state of our economy, that the whole of our political system in Canada was fixated on a single phone call with the American President on Friday.
Mark Carney, the Liberal Leader and Prime Minister, had a call with Donald Trump early in the day to talk tariffs and the Canada-U.S. relationship.
The Liberal Party of Canada has dropped its candidate in the Calgary Confederation riding, due to the candidate’s failure to disclose a 20-year-old domestic assault charge that was stayed six weeks after it was laid, CBC News has learned.
Thomas Keeper, a 49-year-old real estate broker in Calgary, was announced as the Liberal candidate in Calgary Confederation on March 11.
Court records show that Keeper was charged with common assault on June 6, 2005. The complainant was Keeper’s wife at the time, according to divorce records.
These were definitely signs of the times.
Sign, sign everywhere a sign – except no longer at the corner of Keele St. and Wilson Ave.
A Liberal candidate running for re-election in a battleground GTA riding is apologizing after suggesting people attempt to claim a Chinese bounty on a local Conservative candidate.
Paul Chiang — the Liberal candidate for Markham-Unionville — suggested during a local Chinese-language media news conference in January that people should claim the bounty on Joe Tay — currently running for the Conservatives in the Toronto riding of Don Valley North.
“To everyone here, you can claim the one-million-dollar bounty if you bring him to Toronto’s Chinese consulate,” Chiang said, according to the Toronto Association for Democracy in China (TADC).
A normal party would kick this traitor’s butt to the curb on grounds of foreign interference but the LPC is a CCP subsidiary.
OTTAWA — Liberal Leader Mark Carney says he wants to reform the CBC/Radio-Canada to ensure the public broadcaster is viable.
During a campaign stop in Montreal Friday, Carney said that the “only” way to make the public broadcaster “viable” and “vibrant” was through reforms that he promised to announce in the coming days.
