Mike Myers Joins Canadian Election Campaign Alongside Mark Carney With Anti-Trump ‘Never 51’ Jersey

Carney and no longer commercially viable talent play patriot

Canadian-born actor Mike Myers has injected himself into the looming Canada election by appearing in a rinkside video with recently anointed Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to embrace the Maple Leaf flag and declare his allegiance to the Liberal leader.

Variety reports the video pairing the two was launched Saturday and begins with former Bank of Canada and former Bank of England boss Carney watching a hockey game in a Team Canada jersey.

Hypocrisy is the default setting of smug Canadians.

Jamie Sarkonak: Liberals pledge to make Canada a superpower after years of preventing it

Sunday’s edition of the Financial Times included the oft-made observation that Canada is brimming with potential, and the oft-made conclusion that this country would be much better off if it simply developed its God-given gifts.

The article, Unlocking Canada’s Superpower Potential by Tej Parikh, made the bullish case for this country’s future prospects: Canada is geographically huge and loaded with natural resources — on paper, at least, it has the makings of an actual global superpower.

McTEAGUE: Don’t let the Liberals fool you on electric cars

The Liberals’ carbon tax ploy is utterly shameless. For years they’ve been telling us that the Carbon Tax was a hallmark of Canadian patriotism, that it was the best way to save the planet, that it was really a “price on pollution,” which would ultimately benefit the little guy, in the form of a rebate in which Canadians would get back all the money they paid in, and more!

Meanwhile big, faceless Captain Planet villain corporations — who are out there wrecking the planet for the sheer fun of it! — will shoulder the whole burden.

GOLDSTEIN: Carney’s theft of Poilievre’s platform has turned into a farce

If Mark Carney and the Liberals are best equipped to take on U.S. President Donald Trump in a tariff war, why have they stolen their election platform from Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives?

This ongoing theft has reached farcical levels, given that the Liberals’ economic record of their 10 years in power, as well as Carney’s own statements before entering politics, indicate they don’t believe in what they’re promising and will abandon most if not all of it if re-elected.

Jack Mintz: The death of the carbon tax

Is the carbon tax dead in Canada? Yet-to-be-elected Prime Minister Mark Carney has not actually eliminated the fuel charge paid by consumers and low-emitting businesses, which only Parliament can do. But he has lowered its rate to zero. On the other hand, he intends to raise carbon taxes on big emitters. This week, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre upped his “axe the tax” ante to the federal tax on big emitters but would leave the provinces and territories in charge of their own schemes.

‘We don’t have enough workers’: Business owners fear deepening staff shortages in immigration squeeze

As Canadian businesses try to roll with an ever-changing tariff policy south of the border, there’s another issue creating challenges at home: recent changes to Canada’s immigration policy.

“The biggest threat to our business is immigration policy, and the lack of available workers,” said Blair Hyslop, co-owner of Mrs. Dunster’s Bakery in Sussex, N.B.

In the decade since Hyslop and his wife took over the business, it’s expanded, and he wants it to keep growing. “I can find alternative markets for my business, but as I set out to double our business again in three to four years, I can’t find alternative markets for my labour.”


Maybe he should pay his workers more? Funny how that never gets a mention in these stories.

‘Radical’ gun control activist runs for Liberal seat near Montreal

OTTAWA — She survived four bullets fired by a mass murderer during the 1989 Polytechnique massacre. She has campaigned for decades for stricter gun control. Now, she is a Liberal candidate.

Nathalie Provost, who recently criticized the Liberals for their slow pace on the mandatory gun buyback program and threatened not to invite former prime minister Justin Trudeau to the 35th anniversary of the Polytechnique commemoration, will run under the Liberal Party of Canada banner in the federal riding of Châteauguay–Les Jardins-de-Napierville, near Montreal.

Alex Marlow: Canada’s Mark Carney ‘Can’t Form Half a Sentence’ But Is Determined to Take on Trump

On Friday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow talked about Canadian P.M. Mark Carney.

After playing video of Carney giving a vague, stumbling statement on discussions with Trump, Marlow said, “I like to insult politicians for when they only do platitudes, when they’re Prime Minister Platitude, we’re not even getting the platitudes here because he can’t form half a sentence, he can’t form a clause.”

Terry Newman: Mark Carney’s climate obsessions will put Trudeau to shame

This week, Prime Minister Mark Carney promised a crowd in Edmonton that he would speed up pipeline-project approvals, reducing the waiting period from five to two years. But Carney has also told us he wants to keep an emissions cap on the oil and gas industry and industrial carbon tax, both of which are likely to deter potential investors in Canada’s energy projects. He’s also conceded that various competing interests would have to be consulted before any natural resource projects will be able to get off the ground, while failing to communicate any assurances he could get the job done to reassure investors.

WARMINGTON: Oilers may never shake ‘Carney Curse’ as injuries mount post PM photo op

Just call it the Carney Curse!

And you better believe that will be the last time No. 24 Mark Carney will be back on the ice with the Edmonton Oilers.

While Carney, who turned 60 last Sunday, teased on X he “always knew I would make it to the show,” there’s probably just too much carnage left behind to give him another shift.

Jesse Kline: For the love of peat — how Liberals let moss block development of the ‘oilsands of Ontario’

A video posted by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre on Wednesday highlights one of Canada’s enduring problems: our chronic inability to get anything done and, by extension, our propensity to handicap our own economic prosperity.

In the video, and at a pre-campaign stop in Sudbury, Ont., Poilievre highlighted a story that should have sparked a modern-day gold rush. In 2007, prospectors found vast deposits of critical minerals — including chromite, which is used to produce stainless steel, cobalt, nickel, copper and platinum — in a remote part of northern Ontario, about 500 kilometres north of Thunder Bay, that came to be known as the “Ring of Fire.”

Think tank warns federal subsidies turning MSM into government arm

Expanding subsidies risk transforming Canada’s mainstream media into a government-controlled entity, an Ottawa think tank warned Thursday.

Blacklock’s Reporter says the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, in a report by former Calgary Herald publisher Peter Menzies, argued that growing reliance on federal funding is damaging journalism’s credibility and independence.

Michael Taube: Heed Britain’s stern warnings about Mark Carney

Before Mark Carney became Liberal leader and Canada’s 24th prime minister, he served as governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England. It’s fair to say these two countries would’ve had the most intimate knowledge of his personality, views and ideas.

Britain, unlike Canada, has always been more brutally honest about what they like about Carney — but mostly what they don’t like. The wide range of criticism included Carney’s left-wing politics, such as his championing of radical environmentalist policies like net-zero emissions, along with his opposition to Brexit, his political inexperience, dull personality, volatile temper, lousy track record at the Bank of England and more.

Poilievre rejects plan by Carney-endorsed Mark Wiseman to reach population of 100M by 2100

Tory leader Pierre Poilievre on Friday said he categorically rejects Prime Minister Mark Carney’s appointee Mark Wiseman’s Century Initiative that would open the floodgates of immigration.

Carney this week added the World Economic Forum’s Wiseman to his council of advisers on Canada-US relations.


Carney’s choice of Wiseman tells me both are evil swine.
