Thank you so much for laying out the legitimate concerns that Canadians have about Mark Carney. I have a lot of faith in the Canadian people. Despite the fact that the media is pretending a change in Liberal leader is an actual change in policy and action and a Liberal surge is taking place, I believe most Canadians will not be fooled. This belief will be tested if an election ever happens. I really appreciate independent media like “Lean Out” right now. It is no coincidence that the Liberals favour the Canadian legacy media and their American counterparts for access and interviews. These are the outlets that are willing to toe the line and continue to spin the idea that Carney is an outsider and somehow different from Trudeau.
Every day I get people coming to me and asking about where vegetables come from.
First, the display of ignorance of our Food shown is discouraging, as it shows how little Canadians know about where the stuff they consume every day comes from.
Secondly, for most of these people buying local never occurred to them until CBC told them to. As such, I will wait and see how many of them are actually buying local six months or a year from now.
What I am saying unfortunately is that a large number of people only know what the MSM is telling them, and have not thought through the issues for themselves. So they will support Mark Carney because they were told it is the right thing to do.
You make a very good case. Some people say that voters get the government they deserve. If we believe what we are told without question and don’t think for ourselves, based on our observations, we may well get another Liberal government that keeps us on a path to ruin. As someone who grew up at a time when the standard of living was good and people had faith in our country, I find this possibility incredibly sad. I hope and pray that Canadians are finally waking up to the reality of our situation and will make another choice this time.
And he not only bragged about his global bonafides and DEI tendencies, but made a strong statement to underline the importance of continuing strong climate control measures. Would that be at any cost? Rich elites are not at risk...
The climate narrative Carney represents is that the only solution is to force people and industry to reduce emissions by increasingly punitive government policy subsidized by public money - a combination of higher costs with higher prices. A major consequence of trying to force this belief by policy on everyone is, unfortunately but understandably, a rise of climate change denialism. That's not helpful when we share a problem while some believe there is no problem. Climate patterns are changing more rapidly and in very costly ways and we know greenhouse gas emissions play a very important role in this. Like adding more milk or cream to a coffee or tea, it's not rocket science to figure out this addition affects many aspects of the mixture and that adding ever more will eventually alter the drink entirely. So climate change is not nothing. Emissions aren't nothing. But going after only the emissions end as if this alone is the 'saviour' policy for humanity means higher costs resulting in higher prices.
Does it work? No. This approach (so far) is a spectacular failure over more than 30 years.
Seeing that global greenhouse gas emissions have only risen (with a single exception during COVID) over the past three decades under this policy approach by all kinds of governments at every level and across much of the developed and developing world, we know that this approach advocated by Carney does not work to reduce emissions. (We also know that trying to do so raises energy prices.) These are the brute facts no matter how high the horse may be upon which sits the morally superior climate activists tsk-tsking us energy using plebes. Doubling down on doing the same failed thing - at least in my limited experience - does not seem likely to improve the chances of future success. But I'm not a graduate with advanced degrees from Oxford or Harvard so what do I know? Well I know mitigation strategies - many that cost less and work better than what another COP (Conference Of the Parties) regularly produces (what are we up to now, COP 30?) - are being thwarted from adequate research, investment, and support by the very people and organizations so well funded that claim to understand this issue best. What I'm seeing is the implementation by these climate change 'champions' of blocking any other strategy. And Carney himself (should I capitalize Himself yet? Too soon?) is very much a part of this myopic problem.
That’s always been my concern with climate change. Only the solutions based on gov policy is acceptable. For example, I live in PEI. For the last few years we have been told we all must have heat pumps, encouraged by gov subsidies. Now we are told we may have planned rotating power outages between 4-6 hrs at a time. You see the electrical grid is getting overwhelmed with increased strain from heat pumps. Nuts. Windmills in the ocean are killing whales, also nuts. But the gov philosophy seems to be “Don’t confuse me with the facts my mind is made up”.
I agree...he may be experiencing a "Kamala bump". However, it is healthier for Canada to be faced with real choices than the one-sided offering of Poilievre vs Trudeau. THAT...would have been a coronation. Not a good thing.
Carney is the ideal corporate candidate...a rich banker with no real idea of the struggles most people encounter in their lives. He's about as elitist as they come.
Brits, who are currently suffering the consequences of his Net Zero fanaticism, refer to him as Mark (or Marx) Carnage. Canada won't survive another term of this batch of Libs. Alberta will run. When Quebec sees the cash cow no longer has milk, it will go too.
You must sense that Carney is not our guy. He is a darling of the WEF. Admittedly. He doesn’t live in Canada. He has three passports and one is Irish. The place to hide money at this point in time. His wife didn’t turn up in Canada until the day before the liberal party vote. Canada isn’t home. He is all about green. You know what that means. But truthfully, not being Canadian is passable, negotiable. IF HE WAS A GOOD LEADER IN 2025 (if there is an election). The PPC Mr M Bernier is the ONLY possible leader. Don’t be AFRAID of his French. HE IS NOT ONE OF THE QUEBEC ELITE. HE OWNS Common sense and experience in and out of political life. We must put him to debate the 2 others. Put it into law while the legislature is prorogued. Those payed (even when not working for us) politicians are hanging on to their pay checks. The WEF boasts green means less population (vaccines?), less animals too, happy people owning nothing and DRVING THEIR CARS if the government said you could, GOING ON TRIPS when allowed, and not using your bank card when the bank says you can’t; you will receive UBI and have a cap on your spending. We already heard Mark Carey’s philosophy, point of view on oil, stand on anti oil development ( wind mills will supply energy for our computers and AI.). Wake UP and shake up your brain cells. Get into action. Demand the PPC party get a place on the stage and in the MSM……..or join the US. Either or. (I grew up in Kansas, love Kansas too!)
Just going to offer a useful cross-reference via a link to Tara's interview with Andrew Spence, author of "Fleeced" on Canadian Big 5 Banks policy impacts on regular citizens.
Ok. The tear down begins. Can we not be just a little less predictable? Nobody cares about Carney's lies any more than they do about Trump's. Carney's smart obviously. We will see if he can steady the ship and steer it through the shitstorm ahead. There is no question M. Poillievre is out of his league.
I kept hearing Elbows Up, so I finally looked it up. It's a perfect expression of the national way of doing things. Offense by defense, similar to Russia's General Winter. It's the correct answer to a grandiose psychopath like Napoleon or Trump. Psychopaths grow more excited when they encounter active resistance, but eventually get bored when the target seems passive.
The US version is Shoot First And Ask Questions Later. When Shoot First goes against Elbows, he will eventually wear himself out.

Tara --
You're a gift to the Universe with your reporting which I have been pleased to follow for years. Great summary in this article.
The current state of "Liberal" politicians" -- in both the USA and Canada is appalling.
From down here in the States, keep firing!!
I cant stand Carney. Awful.
Ignatieff 2.0
Klaus Schwab’s favourite banker: the Canadian bankster.
Ha ha ha ha
The liberals get to pick the last of the meat off the bones of the working and middle class.
How is that carbon tax feeling?
How about those Chinese tariffs?
Just keep listening to the CBC while you're in line at the food bank.
Any complaints from the serfs, and they will just debank you.
Between Net Zero, goverment assisted suicide and an appointed WFO bureaucrat to run the country, Canada is in for some "interesting" times.
Did you notice, the CBC announced this as a landslide. Ha ha ha
I agree...he may be experiencing a "Kamala bump". However, it is healthier for Canada to be faced with real choices than the one-sided offering of Poilievre vs Trudeau. THAT...would have been a coronation. Not a good thing.
This is exactly what has been bugging me this morning. I wrote my little piece here, if you don't mind me sharing as a newly paid subscriber :)
