A retired Canadian C-level executive, wishing to remain anonymous, has estimated Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney’s wealth from his years with Brookfield Asset Management — which has ownership of coal infrastructure.
Carney has branded himself a political outsider despite also being former governor of the Bank of Canada and governor of the Bank of England. He worked extensively as an advisor to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and has questioned aspects of capitalism.
Canada’s sharp policy turns have dramatically impacted the quality of life. Statistics Canada (Stat Can) data reveals that most people are highly satisfied with life and that share was rising in Q4 2024… but only for seniors 65 and older. The general sentiment in the country continued to erode, especially amongst the critical demographics of Core Aged workers and recent immigrants. A brief period of predatory policies appears to be setting up long-term dest abilization for the country’s economic future.
As people line up to try to cancel the Great One, the hockey legend has Grapes in his corner.
It’s kind of fitting the man voted in a CBC poll as the 7th greatest Canadian has the back of the person from that same poll who was voted the 10th greatest Canuck.
I blame the Liberal Party and their media.
The Liberal leadership debates next week will feature something that has been notably absent from the contest so far: Mark Carney and Chrystia Freeland taking direct swings at each other.
The two leading contenders to replace Justin Trudeau and become Canada’s next prime minister have, until now, avoided going toe to toe, or talking much about each other at all. But on Monday and Tuesday, in both official languages, they will be forced into very visible opposition on the same debate stage, highlighting a curiosity of this race: The two are – or were – friends with each other.
Being a good candidate for Liberal Party leader means bad news for Canada.
Carbon offsets are unreliable, fraud-ridden financial tokens that often fail to make any environmental impact at all. And if Mark Carney gets his way, they’re going to be Canada’s next big industry.
In his carbon reduction pitch to Liberal voters, Carney pledged himself to “developing and integrating a new consumer carbon credit market” that works with the existing industrial carbon tax, and promised it would bring about price certainty, market efficiency and fiscal neutrality.
OTTAWA — Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney’s new pitch for separate federal operating and capital budgets has some Albertans feeling a tinge of déjà vu, and not the warm and fuzzy sort.
Trevor Tombe, an economist at the University of Calgary, says he immediately noticed the similarities between Carney’s proposal and short-lived accounting rules introduced by then Alberta Progressive Conservative premier Alison Redford more than a decade ago.
The Conservatives have brought Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney’s business investments into the spotlight , particularly as pertains to a company called ‘Stripe’.
Carney joined the board of directors at Stripe, a global tech company worth $65 billion that “builds economic infrastructure for the internet,” on February 21, 2021, according to the company’s website. Stripe facilitates the internet operations of tech giants like Amazon, Zoom, Slack and Wayfair.
Oh, Canada’s Liberal leadership race — could it be any more fixed and favouring the few?
It’s like watching a rerun of a show you never liked in the first place. The contenders are all singing the same tired tune, obsessing over Trump’s tariff threats as if they’re the only issue that matters, while conveniently ignoring the real challenges that shape the Great White North.
A Liberal Party of Canada committee has voted unanimously to disqualify former MP Ruby Dhalla from the race to be the next leader, according to a source.
That source, who was not authorized to speak on the record, said a special joint committee met and voted Friday afternoon to remove Dhalla for violating the race’s rules.
She faced 12 allegations, including accepting donations from a corporation in the form of payments to campaign staff, the source said.
The federal government is increasing the number of refugees it plans to resettle as a result of Sudan’s civil war, with changes that could see 7,000 more people reach Canada through various programs.
But Ottawa says it remains impossible for Quebecers to sponsor relatives from Sudan to resettle in that province.
Instead, Immigration Minister Marc Miller says Quebecers can now apply to resettle their relatives as long as they go to another province.
On Wednesday, our lame-duck PM quacked out the news that “Canada is getting high-speed rail”: this is of course duckspeak for “the usual engineering firms are being handed billions of dollars to devise a plan for high-speed rail in a 1,000-kilometre strip of Ontario and Quebec.” In the new spirit of national unity, I suppose I am not allowed to object to the idea on behalf of any of the other eight provinces. But, like a troll in a riddle, I have questions three before this railroad you will see. And the first is the Inevitable Mike Moffatt Question, already asked by the economist and tribune of southwestern Ontario …
Canadians want the federal government to implement even deeper cuts to immigration, beyond the 20 percent reduction implemented this year, in-house research from the immigration department suggests.
“Over half of surveyed Canadians, 54 percent, say they feel there are too many immigrants coming into Canada,” said a department report, which was drawn from a poll of 2,500 Canadians.
With Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau’s globalist policies, unchecked immigration, and high taxes threatening Canada’s sovereignty, the question arises: Is it time for Canada to bjoin the United States? For generations, Canadians have believed in the idea of a unified, indivisible Canada — that no matter what happens, the country will always remain intact. The idea of breaking apart or joining another nation has been dismissed as unthinkable, even laughable.
But history proves otherwise. Nations change. Borders shift. Political realities evolve. The belief that Canada will always remain as it is, is not based on facts — it is based on assumption.
‘Trump, annexation, and the collapse of Canada’s national identity.’
During the recent US-Canada Economic Summit, Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, frantically remarked that “…Trump’s threat to annex Canada is a real thing,” and suggested that President Trump desires to annex Canada specifically “…because he wants to access [Canada’s] critical minerals.”
Unfortunately, despite Prime Minister Trudeau’s claims, President Trump’s campaign to transform Canada into America’s 51st state has not become “a real thing” because of President Trump’s conquistadorial agenda or desire to acquire Canada’s mineral resources.
OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is slamming Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney’s plan to split the federal budget, calling it a “sneaky accounting trick” to avoid balancing the books.
Carney vowed at a press conference in Toronto on Wednesday to split the budget into two streams — capital and operating spending — and to balance the operating side while running small capital deficits.
