OTTAWA — Liberal supporters and former MPs say they party’s voter verification system is not working well and could prevent people from casting their ballots in the race to replace Justin Trudeau.

Bob Delaney, who was a Liberal MPP at Queen’s Park from 2003 to 2018, said he was blocked from getting verified to vote because he wasn’t registered with the party under his full legal name: Robert Patrick Delaney.

The party is using Canada Post’s Identity+ app to verify the identities of party members before they cast ballots in the leadership race. Liberals can use the app or visit a local post office to be verified.

In other words it’s working as planned for the Carney Coronation.

OTTAWA — Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney has not yet resigned from his multiple international board positions, despite claiming this week that he had stepped down from all his roles to be “all in” on his bid to become Canada’s next prime minister.

National Post contacted nearly two dozen organizations that Carney had public links to until recently. While he resigned from most of them around the time he launched his leadership bid in January, he remains connected to at least five.

‘Looks like Trudeau is using the old, ‘rules for radicals’ playbook against Canadians. Canadians can also do that against this Liberal government.’

Would you look at them running around? Half of Canadians think they are in danger from a president south of the border and half of them think they should separate. None of them, however, can even agree on what a Canadian is.

Does a Canadian “boo” the American anthem at a hockey game or does a Canadian drive a truck to Ottawa in protest of lockdowns? Is a Canadian friendly or a genocidal colonialist? Are Canadians innovators with the world’s richest reserves of natural resources or are they climate change saviours by leveraging taxation? How many genders is a Canadian?

Even if only for a matter of weeks, Mark Carney is likely to become prime minister of Canada when this Liberal leadership race concludes. His vision for the country is rife with climate strategies and schemes belonging to a world most can remember, but that no longer exists.

The world has moved on. International accords such as the 2015 Paris Agreement, cooperation between financial institutions on climate goals, and more carbon pricing are no longer priorities for Canada in 2025. Canada is not a superpower, no serious person would say differently, and we have to swim in the global current of change.

Liberal Health Minister Mark Holland has taken to social media to boast that Manitoba has become the first province to be signed onto the federal “pharmacare” plan which provides “free” contraceptives, including abortifacients, as well as “hormone replacement therapy” to those in the province.

“Today, we announced the first national pharmacare agreement with Manitoba,” wrote Health Minister Mark Holland on X Thursday.
