Carney is the walking talking definition of mendacious power hungry political bandit who will say anything to get elected including denying his previously stated “principles” which he will return to once elected much to the dismay of the shallow thinking fools who fell for the soothing words.
Interesting how 100% absolutely non-negotiable, "it's the only way to save the world" imperatives like the carbon tax get turfed when voter sentiment has clearly shifted.
That Carney seems to be successfully convincing Canadians that he's rejected every principle and policy he advocated for during the last decade (or more), confirms that most voters are utterly indifferent to hypocrisy and/or are completely uninformed.
Most politicians are burdened with a pathological desire to control how others live their lives. In Carney's case the pathology driving him betrays a desperation that knows no humility. It's one thing to be a Keynesian bankster but in Carney's case, no human action is outside the purview of his cold dark hands. Carney plus CBDCs equals 1984.
I dunno but you seem to be comparing Carney dealing with issues and circumstances of the past to what we and he have to deal with now. Different situations require different responses but the goals and values remain: responsibility, sensibility in measures to deal with economic stability, national security and sovereignty, and the real threat of climate change. There are nuances here that remain realistic, progressive, and important.
The KING is the perpetrator of the entire climate issue. He's the enforcer behind Schwab and the other WEF minions. Carney is in THICK with The Royals (one of his brothers works for 'The Firm'), hence Carney's heavy handed stance on the climate initiatives. The financial gains for all involved in the upper echelons of power, as noted above, is the POINT of the incessant taxation. Essentially, the absolute purpose of 'climate change' initiatives is to once again transfer as much wealth out of the pockets of the 'peasants' and into the wallets of Carney's 'cultists', thereby pushing everyone into financial ruin so the WEF GLOBALISTS will be in position to wield a sword of ultimate power and control over ALL. This has been a worldwide psyop of epic proportion, that sadly MANY have swallowed hook line and sinker. It's ALL ABOUT THE MONEY and OUR ENSLAVEMENT nothing more.
Carney is an ass kissing, bootlicking society sleaze. He will abandon his destructive ideas that he has sold non stop all over the world for two decades, ideas which have turned all the working class of Europe out on the streets and roads, protesting. “Never mind,” he says. So, I ruined your family, that is in the past. No buddy, you and your cohorts belong in prison. You stole everything for two decades.
Interesting. Carney is intelligent—and he’s trying to read the room.
Notwithstanding the straw men and false dichotomies in this piece, I’d say: welcome to politics. I expect he still holds many of these views as a private citizen or central banker, but if you want to be Prime Minister, you have to understand and reflect the will of the people.
I’ll highlight just one point: the carbon tax. It may still be the single best tool available—the most gain for the least pain. But for it to work, people must agree on both the urgency of the problem and the validity of the solution. Years of deliberate and strategic effort have eroded public belief in both.
In today’s context, insisting on keeping—and significantly increasing—the carbon tax may not just cost you the chance to govern. It could deepen national division. Is that leadership? I don’t think so.
Carney is showing that a leadership contest isn’t about how you will impose your will—it’s about earning the right to lead.
Yes. As a private citizen, he can speak his mind; as a politician he must, or should, enact the will of the people who voted for him. And things have changed radically since Trump 2024. He has to adjust to that. Priorities shift with external threats. Aren’t we all buying Canadian suddenly?
I see the problem. The carbon tax was « too divisive », or as I like to say, the conservatives successfully poisoned it. Irresponsible. I liked the carbon tax, it was kind of working, and was affordable. But politically it was unsustainble. I’m wondering what the conservatives have to say that is useful? I realize this post was about Liberal policies so I’ll stop here.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the world never had wildfires before Michael Mann…
It’s a hoax. There are ZERO uncorrupted global temp records that support it. That 97% horseshit? Forbes reviewed it; it’s 1.6%. The navy researched deep-Atlantic ocean temps - colder than expected, so they adjusted the temp readings to fit the model, not the model to fit reality. The then-president of the American Physical Society (professional physicists) quit over the nonsense. The lead climate scientist at MIT: the evidence for global warming is less rigorous than the evidence for Creationism.
You can go ahead and believe the nonsense; it’s a free country. But it’s ALL nonsense.
Yogi Berra once said, “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.” Mark Carney has taken this literally. Mr Double Talk likes to have a foot on each fork. And is the symbolism coincidental? Hmmm…
His policies seem largely dictated by what he thinks he can get away with. He'd like nothing more than to really put the screws to Canada overall, but especially to the feral dirty polluters of Alberta & Saskatchewan with their oil fields & LNG plants & odious pipelines, plus if they become too uppity I'm of course willing to use coercive federal power to really sock it to 'em. Plus I confess I do enjoy putting in place thousands & thousands of paralyzing economy-killing regulations. Just suck it up & enjoy the growth that's sure to follow!
“Those are my principles. If you don’t like them, I have others.”
Who said that? Groucho Marx, or Marx Carnage?
That's one of my all-time favorite gags (just ask my kids). You can't steal it from me! :)
It’s not really funny when politicians- even unelected ones - say it for real, though.

Great article David!
Carney has not changed, he is still a NetZero believer and promoter. He says anything for power, wake up Canada.

You're absolutely correct. Right on the money.

How some people can't seem to see this, is precisely why, pragmatically, we have had to move on from the Carbon Tax
I see the problem. The carbon tax was « too divisive », or as I like to say, the conservatives successfully poisoned it. Irresponsible.

Don't bother. Most commenters here are delusional.
What do we have to say that is “useful?” How about: the climate hoax is pure nonsense …
You deny climate change, even after all the wildfires?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the world never had wildfires before Michael Mann…

Very well put.

He'd like nothing more than to really put the screws to Canada overall, but especially to the feral dirty polluters of Alberta & Saskatchewan with their oil fields & LNG plants & odious pipelines, plus if they become too uppity I'm of course willing to use coercive federal power to really sock it to 'em.
