Canadians seem to have forgotten that there have been disastrous problems created by the Trudeau government aside from the economic ones....crime, hate marches, housing, health care, unfettered immigration of those who will not assimilate, ethics violations, unfettered ridiculous foreign aid (millions to Bangladesh for "intersectional democratic spaces" for example), drugs and the entirely questionable safe supply policy, and on and on.

Facing the choice between Yes-man Singh, CCP Carney or Verb-the-Noun Poilievre, Canada will continue its national slide into disorder, dysfunction, and disintegration regardless of who 'wins' the election. The very idea of reordering Canada as each of these nits are campaigning to do away from the evil empire that is the US (because of Bad Orange Man and Nazi Musk donchaknow while seeing China and 'Europe' as our 'friends') is beyond ludicrous starting with the harsh reality of geography, our shared history and peoples, and the economic necessity these impose on all of us regardless of our political preferences. Thinking we must alter this reality by casting the correct vote is at best delusional and at worst totalitarian (it seems to me to be a simply a case of which is the least deluded and the competition for that is ferocious).

Apparently, if we can just agree to rally around the colonial flag-of-shame even more under this or that party, we can magically transform these facts into a dreamscape of a either a globalist or nationalist nirvana while the US stands idly by. Neither will happen. But I suspect Alberta will be the first to dive back into reality and adjust its role to the brute fact of a changed international order under Fortress America rather than be willingly submerged yet again and to further depths by more divisive pie-in-the-sky progressivism in all its colours from Ottawa.

Carney is sending a hundred million dollars of Canadian taxpayers' money to the Palestinians, who have proven to be such good neighbors and global citizens. How much will he send to the Communist Party of China? Just the kind of leadership that Canadians have proven that they love.

This is the essential point: The American threat is drummed up. The media exaggerate because they have been financially supported by the federal Liberals — never mind “the threat to Canadian sovereignty from the [Liberals or] globalists at the UN and WEF” or “the abysmal economic and cultural failure of Justin Trudeau’s foolhardy post-national experiment.”

Poilievre just announced plans for a massive tax cut that puts Carney's in the shade.

Carney is a greasy opportunist who reminds me of Newsom.

As an example of how radical the Liberals have become, Mark Carney’s father, Robert, would be considered a “residential school denier” according to their theology. In actual fact, Robert Carney was a distinguished educator, intimately acquainted with residential school education in the North. However, the fact that he had a generally positive view of residential schools, and would have found laughable claims that teachers and priests were evil, would today have Carney’s Liberals condemn him as a “denier”

You've lost me, guys. I think what we need now is someone with lots of international connections. not a provincial crybaby who wants to sell us to Trump Inc. (I see Danielle Smith, whom I often admire, wants Trump, who wants to annex us, to lay off for a bit so Poilievre can be elected). This is let's say pretty serious. I am and have been very critical of the Trudeau Government, but Carney is a breath of fresh air, and a back-to-basics man. As for globalism and being a "globalist" - that can mean many things. Paranoia about Davos is not useful. We live in a big world - let's get used to it. While I am a nationalist, I am also a globalist - we need international partners, and we need to partner with democracies not with kleptocracies. We also need to coordinate with other nations, not just the USA, to overcome problems that are global. In any case, keep on writing - many of your campaigns are just and justified, in my opinion, but not all.
