Happy Canada Day everyone! Long live our beloved dominion! May the efforts of freedom loving patriots return her soon to the former brilliance (some imagined, some real) that so many of us remember, or think we do. Either way, at least we remember those gallant tales told by our determined ancestors, of struggle and war and sacrifice. We think of them as we look around today and notice our immersion in a technological wonder made possible by those warriors and nation-builders who came before us, even though to them it was beyond reach and unfathomable. Such is life and the circle of things. May this bequest, this miracle, this radiant flower of Western civilization we call Canada bring prosperity and joy to future generations, and for many generations to come.
End of Canada Day message (cue the trumpets).
And now, returning to the mismanagement of our cherished dominion…
Carney’s Spark Fizzles While Trump’s Fuse Ignites A Nation
The two spheres of propaganda utilized to socially engineer modern Canadians into compliant automata are of course Climate Change and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). In both cases, many years of state-sponsored thought-control have captured, seemingly irretrievably, large swaths of our psyches, so that we cannot imagine racial consciousness or solidarity among white people (even in the face of alarming increases of rapes, assaults, and murders of white people by non-white people motivated by racial animus, occurring all over the Western world); nor can we see that the LGBTQ has indulged in anti-social degenerate excesses, as bands of naked men march down public streets simulating sex acts in celebration of their pride; nor can we envision a world in which there is no imminent and looming climate catastrophe that might sweep away humanity at any second. The younger generation must fight to liberate these impotent and hypnotized areas of our collective consciousness, in order to unleash the full potential of Western man, so that he might defeat the psychological and material forces threatening Western civilization. Heady and existential stuff indeed!
For many years I have been covering the DEI sphere, and will of course be publishing new cultural commentary relevant to that file soon. However, what’s new is my recent hard turn into examining the political economy of Canada and the United States, and the transitioning global system. This turn essentially, but among other things, tackles the climate change sphere mentioned above (with an emphasis on policies which retard industrial development). A fundamental difference between Trump and Carney is simply that Trump rejects the globalists net-zero/green agenda, while Carney seems like he would die kicking and screaming to keep it, and to keep Canadians terrified in the grip of the carbon emissions / anthropogenic climate change narrative.
While Carney chooses authoritarianism to lock down innovation, industry and human potential in the name of DEI and climate regulations, Trump chooses a developmentalist nationalism which embraces freedom in order to unleash technological innovation, industry, and human creativity in the name of prosperity. The priorities could not be more different, one is suffocating, depressing and regressive while the other is inspiring and comparably hyper-productive. The systems of political economy being used respectively by Canada and the U.S., to implement their mutually irreconcilable projects, are themselves contradictory and unresolvable. Carney’s stubborn intransigence concerning climate change prevents Canadian industry from being competitive, while delivering nominal, debatable, miniscule benefit to the environment. Trump barely cares, his MAGA train steams ahead, Canada can either get on board or be left at the way station, there is absolutely nothing Carney or his “middle powers” globalists can do to stop or slow down the American juggernaut and its aggressive re-tooling of global political economy.
Last week the Fraser Institute published a study by economist and academic Jack Mintz which shows how Carney’s “industrial carbon tax and carbon capture requirements increase the cost to produce energy, making Alberta uncompetitive with U.S. counterparts.” Also last week, Michael Higgins examined rising Canadian food prices for the National Post and argued “the main reason people are facing huge grocery bills is because of a lack of competitiveness driven by structural defects like interprovincial barriers and the (industrial) carbon tax.” In addition, Higgins pointed out that Canada’s supply management system is “failing in this crisis.” Referring to it as “supply mismanagement,” he laments a system considered “sacrosanct because of Liberal cowardice in not wanting to tackle that thorny issue.”
Sylvain Charlebois, a professor at Dalhousie University who studies food distribution, known as The Food Professor, pointed to “bureaucratic barriers that are just suffocating companies” in a recent NP interview, and also posted to X the following on June 22nd:
“Canada’s return to the top of the G7 food inflation rankings should concern policymakers. At 3.8 per cent, food inflation isn’t a crisis, but it is a signal. Most G7 countries face the same global pressures. The fact that Canada continues to underperform suggests our food affordability problem is increasingly homegrown, not imported.”
After one year of the Building Canada Act there have been no new nation-building project approvals, in spite of Carney’s promise of “nation-building infrastructure on a scale and at speeds not seen in generations.” Instead, in an effort to appear pro-active and industrious in a recent press conference, the Liberals swept away some dust and cobwebs and pretended old infrastructure plans long shelved were a new infrastructure vision via the Building Canada Act. By contrast, Trump has thus far in his second term attracted over $2.7 trillion in tech and AI investment commitments, strengthened the U.S.’s position as the world’s largest LNG exporter, exporting to dozens of countries (now on track to double LNG production capacity by 2029), along with granting approvals and financing for advanced nuclear energy projects (with multiple reactors expected online by July 4, 2026).
According to the orange one himself, America is the “hottest” country in the world. While this may sound outlandish and arrogant to the Canadian ear, the core truth of it cannot be denied. Along with physical structures (ie. nuclear reactors) which can be seen with the naked eye, prosperity can be measured with numbers, and numbers don’t lie.
Returning to Mar(k)xist Carney. On June 18th he and Premier David Eby told Canadians they would be bailing out condo developers in British Columbia. Carney pledged to purchase 2200 units at what industry experts estimated to be taxpayer cost of $2.2 to $2.5 billion (Carney claims it will be $1.5 billion and the federal government will only pay 10% with the rest coming from the financing of mortgages and the B.C. government). However, Eby told a different story. Backlash deservedly ensued, and by June 25th Eby was pleading with reporters, “If people hate it, that's OK…We don't have to do it.”
What a mess. In which parallel universe would Canadian’s want to pay for the failed speculations of high-end condo developers? This is not infrastructure building to unleash prosperity, it is an outrageous form of cronyism and elite welfare provided by taxpayers that stinks of corruption.
Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre proclaimed that Carney bailing out “elites and insiders …(is) a transfer of wealth from Mark Carney from the have-nots to the have-yachts.” And then went on to say, “The condos have gone from expensive to less expensive. Who’s going to pay the difference? Mark Carney wants you, the taxpayer, who is struggling with mortgage payments, grocery bills and high gas prices to pay those losses, instead of developers who took the risk in the first place.” The gross elitism is merely another piece in the puzzle forming a clear picture of Mark Carney the globalist with a global agenda at odds with the national interests of Canada. When will Canadians see it?
In my last piece I promised that commentary on Bill C-22, Bill C-9, and Bill C-34 would be next. However, the winds of inspiration carried me yonder and before I knew it I had written the article above, entirely messing with the sequence of my earnestly stated intentions. Let it be known that I am at all times compelled to follow my wayward muse wherever she goes, as if I were in the grips of a sorcerers spell, but I promise dear readers, comment on that ghastly triumvirate of nefariously conceived Liberal bills is both urgent and imminent and at the very top of my mind. I leave you now to attend to the exigent, nasty, essential work of it.

After transplanting myself to this beautiful country 50 years ago, I now feel betrayed by what has become of her - a degenerate and arrogant Marxist political system with no regard for God, man or beast.

Carney is a complete limp dick. He carries absolutely no gravitas whatsoever.
