So no surprise, Mark Carney is the new leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. Having set the contest entry threshold at a lofty $350,000 and outspent the others fair and square, he is now cleared to be sworn in as the next Prime Minister of Canada.
There are two things to be said.
The first is to Mr. Carney. We’ll say it just once: Mr. Carney, congratulations from western Canada.
But enjoy the moment. For, tomorrow we need to talk about oil, gas, pipelines and what lanes the government you now head may legitimately occupy. If you mean as Liberal leader to continue your predecessor’s policy of putting Alberta out of business, it will be a tough discussion.
The second thing we must say is to the string-pullers in the Liberal party. This was your chance to restore mainstream thinking to your party. Not necessarily to become conservatives or even blue liberals.
But you could have pivoted to things to which common-sense Canadians could say ‘yes.’
Instead you gave us four candidates who represented your old style of thinking. The choice was nothing more than who could best channel the departing Justin Trudeau.
You gave us Mark Carney.
Time enough to see whether Mr. Carney is any more effective as a political campaigner than Michael Ignatieff, the public intellectual you put against Stephen Harper in 2011. It’s hard to say. So far, you’ve barely let the man speak in public and then only to state-funded media.
But on Canada’s behalf, here is your really big mistake.
You have positioned yourself as a party ready to defend Canada at a time when its future as a sovereign state is threatened.
Your narrative is that the threat comes from an aggressive, alpha male US president. An alpha male president, that is, who hates bankers and is committed to overturning globalism — which will be the practical effect of putting the United States behind a tariff barrier.
So to confront the orange-haired iconoclast who has also pulled the US out of UNESCO, the World Health Organization and the Paris Accords, you have chosen Mark Carney?
A technocrat who has administered not one central bank but two, was very recently the UN Ambassador for Climate Change and is in fact a platinum-level globalist? That is, he glides easily through the carpeted halls of the World Economic Forum, Chatham House, the Brookings Institution and the Group of 30… He is a pillar of one-worlders like the Bilderberger Group.
Somebody who embodies everything Trump isn't, is your champion against Trump?
Nobody says that to contend with Trump, you must be like Trump. But, when David went up against Goliath, at least he had a sling and a handful of pebbles.
What’s Mark Carney got?
This is not going to end well.
This is not even going to begin well. Carney is about to get creamed.
Liberals, do yourselves and all of us a favour. Go early to an election and lose it.
Let somebody else deal with Donald Trump.

Hubby and I were having a discussion about the 9 questions and I am still a little miffed about the fact the REAL questions were not asked. The question DS ran on in her campaign that should have been the base of this referendum.
1. Do you want to have an Alberta pension plan
2. Do you want Alberta to collect it's own taxes and decide what Ottawa gets
3. Do you want an Alberta police force
4. Do you want Alberta firearms regulations and legislation.
5. Do you want to stay on MST or DST year round.
6. Do you want to Alberta to become an independent nation.
DS has always been a "go along to get along" gal by her own admission. Remember how pissed everyone was in her group when she went and got jabbed then posted pictures of her social engagements while the rest of us were the social pariah? She was empowered by us with big balls and somewhere along the line got neutered.
“In 2019, Danielle Smith sat down for a long interview, much of it never seen.
At the time, she was a broadcaster.
She remembered the boom years, when forecasts had Alberta producing seven million barrels of oil a day and it seemed the sky was the limit, and traced how that promise gave way to Western alienation.
Then she made a stark prediction: "I don't think Canada will exist in a decade." Yet she believed the country could hold, and said

On Oct. 19, Albertans go to the polls. section 38, the new documentary written and directed by Mathew Embry, comes at that moment from three directions:
Keith Wilson, K.C., a leading voice of the independence movement; Danielle Smith, in a forgotten interview from 2019; and John Perkins, looking at Canada from the outside. Together, they tell a cautionary tale about the fate of a country, and ask a hard ...
