Canadians voted to keep the liberals in power, and the president of the United States is getting credit for it.
The Associated Press announced early Tuesday morning, “Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party has won the federal election, capping a stunning turnaround in fortunes fueled by U.S. President Donald Trump’s annexation threats and trade war.”
Carney is an elite globalist caricature. He has an economics degree from Harvard, he is a former central banker (he served as the governor of the Bank of Canada and the governor of the Bank of England), he is a former World Economic Forum Young Global Leader along with his predecessor Justin Trudeau, and he has ties to the Bilderberg group, Chatham House, and the United Nations, for which he was appointed as special envoy for climate action and finance.
Protecting Canada From Trump
Carney’s winning strategy hinged on hyping up the Trump threat and conveniently positioning himself as a protector of Canada. In his victory speech, he reiterated that his priority would be to continue to push back against Trump:
As I’ve been warning for months, America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country. These are not idle threats. President Trump is trying to break us so America can own us. That will never, ever happen. But we also must recognize the reality that our world has fundamentally changed.
Trump’s repeated suggestion that Canada become the 51st U.S. state and the tariff roller coaster he unleashed infuriated Canadians. They apparently took out their frustration on Carney’s opponent, Pierre Poilievre, who was projected to become the prime minister until just a few weeks ago. Poilievre reminded Canadians too much of Trump, down to his slogan, “Canada First.” He was also unseated as the parliamentary representative of his Ottawa district. Nevertheless, he vowed to stay in the fight. He said in his concession speech:
We are cognizant of the fact that we didn’t get over the finish line yet. We know that change is needed, but change is hard to come by. It takes time. It takes work. And that’s why we have to learn the lessons of tonight — so that we can have an even better result the next time Canadians decide the future of the country.
Authoritarian Views
Carney supported Trudeau’s authoritarian crackdown on the Freedom Convoy truckers. As Jonathan Van Maren pointed out at Lifesite, Carney was an early supporter of quashing the protests:
On February 7, a mere week into the protests, Carney penned a furious editorial in the Globe and Mail titled “This is sedition — and it’s time to put an end to it in Ottawa.” He claimed that people were being “terrorized”; that women were “fleeing abuse”; he stated, bluntly, “This is sedition. That’s a word I never thought I’d use in Canada. It means ‘incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.'”
Carney said that Canadians funding the truckers were “funding sedition” and called on the government to identify supporters and “punish them to the full extent of the law.”
Canada became one of the most oppressive Western nations during the Covid era. The government arrested pastors who defied lockdown edicts, encouraged neighbors to spy on and report each other if they had company over, and was very aggressive when it came to Covid “vaccines.” Among the many Canadians forced to take the jab were Canadian truckers who traveled to the United States. Truckers who refused the jab had to quarantine for two weeks, which significantly affected their ability to earn a living, hence the truckers’ protests.
And supporting all that tyranny was Carney.
