An excellent evaluation.

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.

"Ted Morton: Carney demands Supreme Court strip provinces of right to pass their own laws"
Article copied
"There is an important constitutional conference going on in Ottawa this week. Haven’t heard about it? Don’t feel badly. Neither have most provincial governments who stand to lose one of the most important powers they acquired with the adoption of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982.
The provincial premiers have not been invited. There is none of the pomp and circumstance and media coverage that normally accompany constitutional conventions. No, this will all take place very quietly in the chambers of the Supreme Court, where the Mark Carney Liberals are asking the Supreme Court to effectively amend the Charter by imposing new restrictions on how provincial governments can use their Section 33 notwithstanding power.
The occasion is an appeal from Quebec dealing with Bill 21, which...

Six years ago, the entire nation, near the entire world - was put under lockdown. Not for an influenza-like illness, but for something far more dangerous.
We lived through a pandemic, yes - but not of a virus. This was a pandemic of media manipulation, government propaganda, corporate corruption and psychological warfare on humanity. And now, six years on, we have to ask…what have we actually learned?
We’ve learned that they hold total control. That they can rewrite the rules of society overnight, based on “emergency powers” that were never legally binding, yet still somehow dictated every aspect of our lives. This wasn’t about public health…this was a global obedience test. A live experiment to see how quickly they could get people to comply, how easily neighbours could be turned against each other and how rapidly fear could be weaponized into control.
We saw friends reporting each other for breaking rules that changed by the week. We watched as “key workers” were exalted, while ...
