Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

On March 9, the Liberal Party of Canada will select a leader to become the country’s next prime minister. Fewer than 1 percent of Canadians will cast a ballot in the leadership race, as roughly 400,000 people registered to vote. It sounds undemocratic, but it’s the nature of Canada’s system in that parties select who will be the head of the government rather than voters at large.

With registration to vote in the contest being free and open to all Canadian citizens, the number of people taking advantage of the opportunity to vote is distressingly low.

Friday, Mark Carney made a policy announcement at Pier 21 in Halifax where he essentially told Canadians that his plan to fight Trump’s tariffs and his plan to solve Canadian’s economic woes are one in the same — a green economy.

Carney told the gathered crowd that one of the reasons why the Liberal party, with himself at the helm, needs to win the coming federal election is impending tariffs from American President Donald Trump. “At times like these, we need serious leadership and a serious plan,” he said.

Leading Liberal leadership contender Mark Carney unveiled his new climate change plan Friday accusing Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre of lying to Canadians by telling them they have to choose between the environment and the economy, and then he told Canadians a far bigger whopper of his own.

OTTAWA—The high-stakes race for the job of Liberal leader and prime minister has prompted a deluge of misinformation online about the contest’s two front-runners.

A new report illustrating that finding comes as the race to crown Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s successor now has a pared-back field of five candidates, many of whom spent the past week unveiling their campaigns in earnest.

Likely coming from each others camps.

Liberal leadership hopeful Chrystia Freeland’s proposed procurement bans against American firms in response to the U.S. president’s tariff threats are “unrealistic” and “populist” attempts to draw attention to her campaign, observers say, noting that while the move helps set her apart from other candidates, such boycotts could further strain bilateral relations.

Populist! OMG! – Anyone else notice the “media” seems to be putting their eggs in Carney’s basket?

The federal government confirmed on Friday that it’s reversing course on increases to the capital gains tax first announced in the last federal budget.

The government is delaying the effective date of the increase to Jan. 1, 2026.

After initial reporting from CBC News on Thursday that federal Liberals were considering a pause on collecting the new taxes, Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc confirmed as much in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

OTTAWA — Liberal leadership hopeful Chrystia Freeland says Canada should target Teslas and U.S. alcohol as part of its tariff retaliation package should U.S. President Donald Trump made good on his trade threats.

In an interview with The Canadian Press, Freeland says there should be a 100 per cent tariff on all U.S. wine, beer and spirits, and on all Teslas — and make sure Wisconsin dairy farmers feel the pinch as well.
