OTTAWA — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith fired a shot across the bow of new Prime Minister Mark Carney on Wednesday, vowing to beef up a provincial law shielding oil and gas production from federal meddling.
Smith said at a press conference that new amendments to Alberta’s Critical Infrastructure Defence Act would put a firewall around Alberta’s energy sector by declaring oil and gas production sites and facilities housing emissions data and records as essential infrastructure.
‘A Liberal win might be the wake-up call necessary to drive Alberta — followed by Saskatchewan — towards greater sovereignty.’
So, out with the old and in with the new as a replacement figurehead is installed on the old rotten ship, the HMCS Liberal Party. With such changes afoot it may be worth a closer examination of the track record left by the outgoing prime minister, as well as at his shiny new replacement.
Having left his gig as UN Special Envoy for Climate and Finance to lead the federal Liberal government, Mark Carney is now in a position to focus his and Greta Thunberg’s global climate crusade squarely on Canada. The crusade, Carney boasted back in 2021 while in his previous role, is worth many trillions of dollars. As he told CBC News at that year’s UN climate conference, “We have banks, asset managers, pension funds, insurance companies from around the world — more than 45 countries — and their total resources, totalling US$130 trillion” dedicated to transitioning the world’s economy away from fossil fuels. That dollar figure is higher than global GDP.
Canada started a trade war with China, yet few in Ottawa seem willing to acknowledge the consequences.
Unlike the United States, which often imposes tariffs as a bargaining chip only to later negotiate, China takes a far more calculated and punitive approach. When Beijing retaliates, it targets industries with economic and symbolic significance, ensuring maximum pressure on its adversary.
Donald Trump’s bombastic style is hard to stomach, but the need to undo years of waste and corruption is undeniable. Trump’s reforms will speed up an economy that already far outperforms ours. According to the latest IMF World Economic Outlook data, U.S. GDP per capita this year is $89,678 (in “purchasing-power-parity” dollars), while ours is $64,566, just 72 per cent of that. In 2015, when the Trudeau government was elected, our per capita output was 81 per cent of the Americans’. According to the IMF’s forecasts, we’ll be below 70 per cent and still trending downward by 2029.
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is calling on party leaders to put an end to a second taxpayer-funded pension for prime ministers, arguing it’s an unnecessary burden on Canadians.
“Taxpayers can’t afford to keep covering Ottawa’s perks, and scrapping the prime minister’s second pension would be a good place to start saving money,” said Franco Terrazzano, Federal Director of the CTF
Canada’s newly installed, unelected prime minister Mark Carney, until recently the shadowy advisor to the hapless Justin Trudeau, is now openly showing his hand as the masterful manipulator and economic scourge he has always been. Trudeau was never the political player we thought he was but a mere hologram in a suit, a digital optic projected by Carney.

Since coming to power in 2015 the federal Liberals have earmarked more than $200 billion for 150 programs presided over by 13 government departments, ostensibly to address climate change.
The total comes to 202 if you include joint agreements with Canada’s provinces and territories.
The results have been a massive failure.
I sure as hell do not want to be governed by Carney and his wife.

There is a Persian adage that, roughly translated from Farsi, reads: “Tell death to be content with a fever.” It is used as a rejoinder when one is appalled by another’s attempt to placate them, by offering some lesser evil than the evil they had previously imposed (or threatened to impose). It perfectly exemplifies what our new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, is doing to Canada.
Carney, like the Liberal Party itself are habitual liars.
The LPC spent the last decade running Canada into the ditch and now they expect us to believe they’re Super-Patriots.
The federal government says it “strongly condemns” the execution of multiple Canadians in China earlier this year over what Beijing says were “drug-related crimes.”
A Global Affairs Canada spokesperson confirmed the executions took place but did not say how many Canadians were put to death.
OTTAWA — With the Liberals enjoying a rare polling bump in Western Canada, some have wondered if the currently seatless Prime Minister Mark Carney could mount a run in his home province of Alberta in the imminent federal election, expected to be called just days from now.
After Juno News broke the story that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s daughter is a writer who has publicly advocated for transgender procedures and identifies as “non-binary” yesterday, there has been an explosion of responses.
The tightening of the polls in Canada signals a leap of faith by voters who were disenchanted with the candidates on offer and have been persuaded by the idea that Mark Carney is the Messiah.
But election campaigns are won by candidates who convince people they deserve supporters’ loyalty, support and, most importantly, trust.
The Conservatives are trying to torpedo the new prime minister’s trust-building by labelling him “sneaky” Mark Carney .
The success or failure of such attempts depend on whether the candidate validates the claims through their behaviour.

You thought Trudeau was bad? Meet Carney's wife. She is an ultra-mondialist woke activist. Only an ultra-mondialist woke activist could have married her. You have been warned. pic.twitter.com/HRt6PCjrKJ

Will ethical issues upend the Liberal election campaign? The Conservatives certainly hope so — and they’re getting a hand from an unlikely source: the Canadian media.
At a news conference in London, Globe and Mail reporter Stephanie Levitz and CBC News anchor Rosemary Barton grilled Prime Minister Mark Carney on his personal finances. “For a guy who has spent most of his life in the private sector, there’s no possible conflict of interest in your assets,” Barton insisted. “That’s very difficult to believe.”
