Now that the leading contenders in the Liberal leadership race – Mark Carney and Chrystia Freeland – have promised, vaguely, to cancel Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s carbon tax, what do they plan to do about the $200-billion-plus, taxpayer-funded sinkhole the Liberals have created since 2015, ostensibly to fight climate change?
Canada is in the midst of a national awakening, with a renewed sense of patriotism sweeping across the country in the face of Donald Trump’s tariff threats. The “Buy Canadian” movement which took off as the tariffs were supposed to be introduced on 1 February — now due to come into effect in March — has started having a tangible impact on retail markets. More and more shoppers are forgoing American made goods for their Canadian counterparts. The biggest beneficiary of this newfound love for crown and country seems to be the country’s previously struggling Liberal Party, which is experiencing a level of support not seen since 2023.
All Liberals are the same. A newish old face won’t change that.
Here’s a simple formula to help Canadian Heritage managers get on track when doling out millions of taxpayer dollars in grants for Canada Day celebrations.
No Canadian flag, no O Canada, no exhibit of national pride and unity — no grant money. Period. Don’t bother applying.
Let everybody wailing about colonialism which is rooted in Marxism, or pushing racist diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), disrespect and trash Canada on their own dime.
Brookfield Asset Management Ltd.’s decision to shift its head office to New York from Toronto is featured in a new attack ad against Mark Carney, who’s running to become Canadian prime minister.
Carney is one of the leading candidates to replace Justin Trudeau as Liberal Party leader and assume Canada’s highest political office. He had been Brookfield’s chair and head of transition investing until January, when he resigned to launch his campaign.
In a video released Friday, the Conservative Party took aim at Carney’s views on the economy and at Brookfield’s relocation. “Trudeau and Carney sold out Canada with job-killing taxes that push jobs south,” the narrator of the video says. “Carney even moved his company’s headquarters to New York.”
OTTAWA — The federal Conservatives are amping up criticism of Mark Carney, the Liberal leadership contender they appear to assume will replace Justin Trudeau as their chief opponent in the next federal election.
The criticism comes as the party stages a “Canada First” rally in Ottawa on Saturday, aimed at pitching Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre as the best answer to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff threats.
A comment in Kelowna by Liberal leadership hopeful Mark Carney that fentanyl is a “challenge” in Canada shows how out of touch he is with reality of the drug crisis, Kelowna-Lake Country Conservative MP Tracy Gray says.
“Carbon Tax Carney came to Kelowna to tell people they should ignore the damage caused by nine years of the Trudeau-Carney Liberals, to downplay the fentanyl crisis, and to promote his new and bigger shadow carbon tax that will make Canadians even poorer,” Gray said in an email to The Kelowna Courier.
You are a stupid and evil punk. It is amazing to witness the depth of your delusion. Watching you wrap yourself in the flag of the nation you ruined is sickening. Your legacy will be the everlasting contempt held for you.

Canada’s history is one written largely by its industrious immigrants. Having said that, in this past decade, the Liberal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has turned this national strength into a chaotic social upheaval. There is no other way to describe the fact that the Liberals have implemented an immigration program that has purposely transformed the country’s ethnicity and its character. Canadians have yet to fully realize what has transpired. And still, the Liberals continue to permit plane loads of migrants to land at the Toronto and Montreal airports.
It is instructive to look back at the genesis of the Liberals immigration policy to understand exactly what has occurred to Canada’s population through the past decade. Accelerating the flow of people into Canada is an immigration strategy formalized in the Trudeau government’s early years. In 2016, the federal Advisory Council on Economic Growth, which was chaired by Dominic Barton (then-McKinsey & Co. global managing partner and later the Canadian ambassador to China), recommended that there be a 50 per cent increase in annual “permanent resident” immigration levels so that in five years (2021) the number would reach 450,000. Barton was also a co-author of a paper advising the government that the country’s population should be 100 million by 2100.
It was an evil act for which Trudeau and his Liberal party must pay.
It wasn’t enough for Chrystia Freeland to drive Canada off an economic cliff as finance minister, ushering in heaps of debt and deficits more intense with the year. She wants to do it all over again — just from the prime minister’s seat.
And really, that’s all she can do. Freeland can’t offer change because, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s no. 2 since 2019, the Trudeau government might as well have been her government. What she can do is stuff his most working-class friendly ideas — in appearance, at least — into a bouquet, adding to them a few proposals plucked from other parties elsewhere to fool onlookers into thinking it’s all new.
In just under a month, Liberal Party members will choose their next leader, who will automatically become Canada’s next prime minister. At least until the next election.
Candidates vying to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on March 9 are starting to flesh out their visions for the country.
This unusual leadership race has seen the main challengers pivot to confront the existential threats to the Canadian economy lobbed by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Mark Carney told an audience of supporters in British Columbia that fentanyl isn’t a crisis in our country.
The Liberal leadership contender, and likely next prime minister of Canada, was giving a speech in Kelowna the other day when he turned to the issue of dealing with Donald Trump.
Since late November, Trump has been demanding that Canada do something about the fentanyl crisis, claiming the drug is flowing south from Canada into the United States.
Not surprising given the LPC is a branch plant of the CCP.
Renee Merrifield did not mince her words while talking about Liberal leadership frontrunner Mark Carney on this week’s episode of Beyond the Ballot.
Speaking with NowMedia video host Jim Csek, the Kelowna businesswoman and former MLA said she finds Carney “very disingenuous.”
Mark Carney needs to stop talking about American President Donald Trump because the likely soon to be prime minister is going to lead us straight into economic oblivion, if not into a full blown annexation crisis. The best way for our leaders to deal with Trump’s toxic threats to absorb Canada, or to wipe out the auto industry, is to essentially stop talking in public immediately. Instead, Liberals are gleeful at the opportunity that after nine years in office, they get to campaign against Trump.

The same bastards staging a faux patriot flag day tomorrow are the real enemy, the real cancer.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau congratulated Syria’s interim president today, despite him leading a group Canada still designates as a terrorist organization.
Ahmed al-Sharaa leads Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, a group Canada has listed as a terrorist organization since 2013.
That group, often called HTS, toppled the regime of Bashar al-Assad last December, ending a brutal dictatorship that was supported by the Russian government.
