The federal Liberals are hopeful that with Mark Carney’s landslide Liberal leadership win on Sunday, they can finally turn the page on the Trudeau years and embark on the task of convincing Canadians that a brand-new chapter lies ahead.
However, Canadians weary of sky-high housing prices, unaffordable inflation and rising taxes will find that the Liberals have merely exchanged Justin Trudeau for Justin Trudeau’s top economic advisor.
Cash-strapped Canadians hopeful that the suicidal green policies of the Trudeau years were about to end, may now be certain that with the former United Nations Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance at the helm, they will continue.
Canadians appalled by our growing reputation as an international cautionary tale due to the horrors of our euthanasia regime — even politicians in the UK currently pushing for legalization recoil at the spectre of being compared to Canada — should know that Mark Carney has already tapped David Lametti, the former justice minister responsible for that regime, to assist with his transition into the PMO. It’s all about Laurentian elite membership: Carney once co-captained the Oxford University Ice Hockey Club with Lametti in the early 1990s.
Carney, the Liberals assure us, is the discerning, responsible leader we need right now. But Carney has already chosen former Trudeau cabinet minister Marco Mendicino as his Chief of Staff.
The Trudeau government’s record on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms won’t improve with Carney, either.
A federal court ruled that the government had violated the rights of Canadians for issuing the Emergency Measures Act to deal with peaceful Freedom Convoy protestors. Carney’s new Chief of Staff was the minister who lied about the police asking for the Act to be implemented, which the RCMP commissioner denied.
In case Canadians are wondering what “sedition” is, here’s the Oxford Dictionary definition: “Language or behavior intended to persuade people to oppose their government and/or incite rebellion against it.” Will Carney continue the Trudeau government’s ongoing attempt to appeal the federal court’s ruling that the Emergency Measures Act was “unreasonable?”
