Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

One of the last major moves Mark Carney made in the private sector was to ensure his company moved its head office from Toronto to New York City. When asked about it on Tuesday night after the Liberal leadership debate, Carney straight-up lied or he had a horrendous memory lapse when he said he wasn’t involved.

Canada’s ruling Liberals, who a few weeks ago looked certain to lose an election this year, are mounting a major comeback amid the threat of US tariffs and are tied with their rival Conservatives, according to three new polls.

An Ipsos survey released late on Tuesday showed the left-leaning Liberals have 38% public support and the official opposition right-of-center Conservatives have 36%. The Liberals have overturned a 26-point deficit in six weeks, and run advertisements comparing Conservative leader, Pierre Poilievre, to Donald Trump.

It’s the Guardian so take it with a Big Grain of Salt. Two things to remember…

1) As Nanos noted the LPC has no leader and therefore no focus for voter ire.

2) Lorrie Goldstein reminds us of the Kamala Bump and how that ended.

Mark Carney has answered some questions — but many more remain

Near the end of Tuesday night’s Liberal leadership debate — the second and last time all four candidates will be on the same stage together before a winner is announced on March 9 — Justin Trudeau’s would-be successors were asked how they would differentiate themselves from him.

Chrystia Freeland, who until two months ago was Trudeau’s most trusted lieutenant, initially tried to sidestep the question. Mark Carney, the former central banker who has only advised the prime minister on a volunteer basis, was much more ready to answer.

“I’m different in the following respects,” he said, citing his intention to be “laser focused” on the economy and his tendency to be “much more of a hands-on manager” focused on “results and getting things done.”

‘Leaders who want to take away our history are afraid of it… Because it’s powerful.’

Want rid of the Liberals ruining Canada? Understandable, but there’s a wrong way and a right way.

Once upon a time, in a great but troubled country, there was a bad ruler, whose name (coincidentally) started with a J.

OTTAWA — The frontrunner in the federal Liberal leadership race urged shareholders to support his company’s relocation from Canada to New York City months before he resigned from his job, the Conservatives accuse.

On Tuesday, the Liberals held the second of two debates in Montreal, except it wasn’t actually a debate — it was a two-hour long commercial for the party.

This was painfully evident for those who had watched both the French debate the night before and Tuesday’s English debate. Yes, all leadership debates are advertisements for the parties to some extent, but what was significant about this debate was how little any of the candidates actually disagreed.

OTTAWA — The three top contenders to replace Justin Trudeau as leader of the Liberal party say they’ll honour the departing prime minister’s pledge to help bankroll a multibillion-dollar high-speed rail project between Toronto and Quebec City.

Why does it take a tariff threat from the president of the United States to force Canada to stop the trafficking of illegal migrants and drugs across our borders? Why does it take a tariff threat to force Canada to get serious about eliminating inter-provincial trade barriers and building pipelines? Why does it take prodding from the U.S. to get Canada to think more seriously about strengthening its military and addressing the urgent need for Arctic security? And most importantly, why on earth should Canadians allow the policies of a U.S. president to define who should be their next prime minster?

Canada’s Liberal government could save $10.7 billion this fiscal year alone by eliminating eight ineffective federal spending programs, says a new report by the fiscally conservative Fraser Institute.

The study, “Identifying Potential Savings from Specific Reductions to Federal Government Spending,” by Jake Fuss and Grady Munro, cites eight federal programs where it says “government spending does not appear to be accomplishing its stated goals, or where government spending is unnecessary.”

LILLEY: Peruvian mayor issues warning about making Carney Canada’s PM

The mayor of Lima, Peru, has a message to Canadians: Think twice before making Mark Carney your prime minister.

Mayor Lopez Aliaga says based on Carney’s actions when he was chairman of Brookfield Asset Management, there should be serious questions asked about Carney’s character. In an interview from Lima, Aliaga said Brookfield, chaired by Carney, was “making massive profits off a toxic contract” plagued by bribes.

MONTREAL — The federal government must not deal with Donald Trump the way it did before, agreed Liberal candidates vying to replace Justin Trudeau, as they sparred over who is best suited to deal with the biggest threat to Canada’s economic security.

The U.S. president was not on stage, but he was front and centre throughout the two-hour, French-language confrontation between the four remaining Liberal candidates, as they took occasional aim at the Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre but directed most of their barbs at Trump and his aggression towards Canada.
