Remember when we were told we would have a trade agreement with the United States by July of 2025? Or, remember when the trade deal didn’t happen and Carney said it was “boring” when a reporter asked him about it? And further, remember this is the same guy who during the election told a reporter who asked a different question he didn’t like to “look inside” herself? The following is going to state a number of opinions about Mark Carney, but first and foremost, based in part on the preceding, and stated upfront so as to highlight its preeminence: Carney is a creep.

Carney has said that Muslim values are Canadian values, but now has modified that slightly by saying Canada has never had Christian values, but instead has had diversity and “civic values.” One would think that a man who wrote a book called “values,” would be less flippant and erroneous about the actual long held values of the country he leads.

Carney has made far too many significant leadership errors in the short time since he took office. Many analysts have attributed a portion of these to his political inexperience, in the past he would have been referred to as “greenhorn” or a “jackleg.” But what has been shocking, and devastating to the country, is this bungler’s inability to admit or learn from his errors, or to make the necessary corrections, or to not contradict himself or make a particular misstep markedly worse. In addition, Carney has been unable, or unwilling, to set the right tone, or any at all not resounding from his apparent tone-deafness, that would inspire a greater swath of Canadians who exist outside of that obstinate cohort of aging sycophants, who “elbows up” in CBC-controlled automata fashion at the merest whiff of Rosemary Barton indignation.

Just four months into his premiership, Carney’s global travels (which in total have accumulated $772,000 on in-flight catering and accommodations) were criticized as producing “meaningless stacks of paper” with places like Europe and Mexico (where free trade deals already exist). Conservative analysts, including National Post’s Tristin Hopper, called these agreements jargon-filled and pointless, serving as a “bait and switch” to distract from the domestic economic catastrophe — which now sees the vast majority of young Canadians consigned to a life of rental housing, as home ownership is not something even remotely within their financial means.

And by February of 2026 Carney’s pattern of pitiable deflection of responsibility away from the shortcomings of past and present Liberal governments was on full display with overt disingenuousness as he blamed “conservative obstructionism” for the rise in food prices. Carney is unable to hide his gross elitism. His prestige in international matters of economics and finance are a leftist media creation, but has nevertheless gone to the man’s head. He was a failure in his previous roles because he is not that bright, and is incapable of exercising sound judgment due to both his many conflicted personal interests, and the interests important to the globalist climate agenda, of which Carney has long been a leading proponent.

Carney’s speech in Davos, widely loved by the aging sycophants previously mentioned, was perhaps the most embarrassing and tone-deaf of all public speeches ever made by a Canadian political leader since confederation. When Trump followed Carney with a speech of his own, which featured a vision of the world entirely at odds with the one envisioned by Carney, the world listened and then began to move and align accordingly. World leaders will of course, perhaps in some cases begrudgingly, respond to the most significant and powerful man on the planet. No one listens to Carney. He embarrassed himself, and the entire nation by extension. That the Liberal boomers and progressives felt no shame about any of it, and instead still boast of the power of Carney’s words at Davos, tells one everything they need to know about the state of Canada in 2026.

On February 14, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a widely praised address at the Munich Security Conference. Rubio triumphantly rejected the notion of the United States as “polite and orderly caretakers of the West’s managed decline” and further rejected the “malaise of hopelessness and complacency.” Rubio spoke as a defender of Western civilization, stating that it is defined by “Christian faith, culture, heritage, language, ancestry, and the sacrifices of our forefathers.” In contradistinction, three days later, at the Citadelle in Quebec City, Carney weakly responded to Rubio’s Munich address with anti-Christian revisionist history and an appeal to the anemic concept of civic nationalism — a blatant misrepresentation of the majority of Canadians. Civic nationalism with multicultural characteristics is the social vision of the Laurentian elite, lauded by their brainwashed leftist boomer groupies, but rejected by the masses of good Canadians.

Before Carney even took office he famously pointed to China as Canada’s biggest security threat. But then after dropping the ball on trade negotiations with the country that matters most to Canada’s economy and security, he turned towards China (the country who interferes with our elections) with an offer and embrace of economic and strategic partnership. He negotiated just shy of 50,000 Chinese electric cars to enter the Canadian market — even Doug Ford understands how stupid this is, since the cars are virtually guaranteed to be embedded with Chinese spy tech.

And now, with three Conservative Members of Parliament having crossed the floor due to the Liberal enticements offered to them, Carney has further displayed his willingness to, within the bounds of the rules of course, circumvent the spirit, norms and intent of democracy. All too typical of a sneaky and dishonest middling bureaucrat who has risen well beyond his competency level for no other reason than being the chosen elite backed by the Laurentians.

Carney has shown himself to be absent, mocking and unserious, disingenuous, cowardly, two-faced, contradictory, un-democratic, and ineffective at diplomacy with president Trump, his most critical diplomatic counterpart. Instead of directing the negotiations to common ground and finding ways to align Canadian interests with American strategy, Carney has enraged the president, and sabotaged Canada’s relationship with our largest trading partner. The damage to that pivotal relationship is at this point immeasurable.

The antics of Carney and his Liberal government, and the maddening uxoriousness of their boomer-majority base, has inspired National Post columnist John Robson to put forth the idea that maybe “Canadians and their governments are conducting themselves as if nothing mattered,” and to ask “Can it really be true that we are acting like such fools?” And then later resolved, after pointing out the “non-pandemic deficit of $78.3 billion piled onto a runaway national debt,” that it would seem “we act as if prosperity didn’t matter.” Indeed, it appears not, at least to those who have already achieved personal prosperity. It is one thing to neglect to plant the seeds for future generations to sow, but it is another evil entirely to pull up the ladder so the young cannot climb up. Carney, the Liberal’s, and the boomers who exalt them, have cast away the seeds, and in their place have planted strife and obstacle. They have destroyed the soil, and removed the means by which ambitious young people can ascend, or build very much of anything.
