Canada is in danger of replacing one prince with another.
Justin Trudeau did not think the rules applied to him and it took more than nine years for Canada to come to terms with that glaring truth. Now Liberal Leader Mark Carney is going down the same road.
Carney is in need of a safe seat to run in and, as if by magic, one has just opened up in Ottawa Nepean.
It’s doubtless better to peak early than not to peak at all, but we are in the early days of the general election and opinion polls are suggesting that Mark Carney’s Liberals are at levels of support not seen since Pierre Trudeau won with 45 per cent of the vote in 1968.
Leger is the latest polling company to have the Liberals in the mid-40s support, more than double the levels of just two months ago.
A controversial appointment put migration in the headlines on the same weekend that Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a snap election.
The investment fund manager and former head of the Bank of Canada, who won the Liberal leadership contest two weeks ago, became the subject of news stories focusing on how he has chosen Mark Wiseman, an advocate for open borders, as a key adviser.

It’s a hard line to straddle. Are the Liberal MPs who announced they were heading for the exits when the polls were down but now want to contest their seats political opportunists? Or are they answering a call to duty?
On Tuesday, Sean Fraser, the Nova Scotia MP and former minister of housing and immigration, announced he’d changed his mind and would stand for re-election. “I will be the Liberal candidate in Central Nova during this federal election,” he posted on Facebook. “Yesterday, Prime Minister Mark Carney called and asked me to join the team that will be responding to this unprecedented economic threat from the United States. I said yes.”
Mark Carney says that he’s all in and elbows up for Canada, but it seems the firm Carney used to oversee liked foreign countries better. Not only did Brookfield Asset Management move its headquarters from Toronto to New York when Carney was its chairman, he set up $25 billion worth of Brookfield funds in a Caribbean tax haven.
OTTAWA—It’s the stuff of New Democrats’ nightmares.
Kwun Whess, 27, has voted NDP in nearly every election. Their MP is a New Democrat, in a northern British Columbia riding likely in the crosshairs of Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives.
But this time around, Mark Carney’s Liberals may get their vote.
If you’ve been following the federal election to date, try and figure this one out:
Liberal Leader Mark Carney has been slagging off Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre for refusing to seek the official security clearance that would give him access to top secret briefings by the Canadian spy agency, CSIS.
The idea that Liberal Leader Mark Carney and the current Liberal government are best equipped to fight a trade war with U.S. President Donald Trump is absurd.
In fact, the Liberals over their decade in power weakened our ability to fight that war by undermining our economy.
‘We’re seriously outgunned’ in trade war, warns former Bank of Canada governor
As Prime Minister Mark Carney presumably works to improve his French over the next month, he might soon discover the meaning of the proverb “en avril ne te découvre pas d’un fil.” Literally: in April, don’t remove even a thread (of clothing); figuratively: be cautious of premature optimism.
Carney is accustomed to managing risk, yet in Quebec, he’s perilously close to turning his greatest asset — goodwill — into his Achilles heel.
As the Liberal government approaches its tenth year in power, it is worth assessing its impact on Canada’s agri-food sector. While often perceived as disconnected from rural priorities and farm realities, the data offers a more nuanced picture.
Liberal Leader Mark Carney just opened another front in the Canada-US trade war: Western Canada.
Before the Liberals swapped out Justin Trudeau for Mark Carney, the former prime minister made clear that he was willing to consider an export tax against Alberta oil and Saskatchewan potash and uranium. Perhaps even British Columbian LNG. But Trudeau was a dead man walking, and what he said mattered little with one colourful sock out the door.
Mark Carney’s snap election is a globalist power grab disguised as leadership, continuing Trudeau’s agenda with a more polished image. But Donald Trump saw this coming — and he may be the only one ready to stop it.
Mark Carney’s sudden rise to power isn’t a win for democracy — it’s a globalist takeover in a Canadian suit. Recently installed as Prime Minister of Canada without a single vote, Carney now leads both the country and the Liberal Party just months before a federal snap election that he called. This isn’t about Canadian politics — it’s about global control.
The outcome of Canada’s federal election could shape immigration levels in the country following recent cuts by the Liberal government and significant growth following the COVID-19 pandemic.
While immigration was not the most pressing issue concerning voters ahead of this year’s election, it still ranks among the top 10, polling shows.
An Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News published Thursday put immigration as the seventh-most important issue, according to Canadians. Inflation, cost of living, relations with other countries, health care and housing ranked higher.
When I watched Canadian comedian Mike Myers say to prime minister Mark Carney, “…let me ask you, Mr. Prime Minister, will there always be a Canada?” I couldn’t help but cringe.
“There will always be a Canada.” Mark Carney emphatically reassured, as if he had the power to back any such claim.
After years of avoiding any clear position on the subject of immigration levels, the Conservatives have opened the 2025 campaign with a hard pledge to “slow immigration down” to sustainable levels.
“I want people to come here (in) numbers that can actually be housed, employed, and cared for,” Poilievre told a reporter on Monday, adding that he would directly tie immigration levels to homebuilding.
Unfortunately the the GTA being a 3rd World State will vote for Carney and his 100 Million Unvetted Migrants Man Mark Wiseman.
