Really?
Jan 31, 2025 Carney interview with CTV.
That’s Canada’s interest in saving our steel industry; or any traditional, carbon emitting industry….
Trump provides distraction for Carney’s N-0 agenda
President Trump’s unjustified steel tariffs are putting 500 Canadian steelworkers out of work in Hamilton.
Canada cannot be bullied into weakness. We need to build industrial strength, unleash our resources, get them to market, tear down barriers between provinces and stand on our own feet.

He does not misspeak. He frames.
If Donald Trump puts a tariff on Canada, it is inflation. Things cost more. That is the sermon.
If Mark Carney puts a carbon tax on Canada, it is virtue. Things do not cost more. That is the sermon too.
Same cost. Same till. Different name. That is not an economist talking. That is a man building a story and daring you to notice the price on the shelf.
He fabricates the weather. He frames the blame. He lies in full sentences and calls it leadership. Affordability out of the gate. A deal that was coming. A tax that would not land on the kitchen table. Every one of those lines met a cart, a rent, and a young adult still in the basement.
Push will come to shove when the frame will not pay the bill. When the plant is gone. When the grocery receipt is longer than the speech. When people stop arguing the slogan and start counting what is left in the account.
I am a Nana. I have watched this country get talked past the truth. Mark Carney. Name him. The lie works until the till does not.
Kitchen table first.

Mark Carney’s address to the European Parliament laid bare a familiar and costly delusion.
Having moved Canada past Britain as another country purporting to straddle Europe and the United States, the Prime Minister revealed in Strasbourg his authoritarian, Davosian leftist biases more clearly than he has to Canadians. He flattered his audience by rewriting the history of WW2, asserting that freedom was won “thanks to the heroism of the European resistance.” This is rubbish. Europe was liberated (from Germany) by the Americans, British and Canadians.
He neglected to mention that Canadian exports to the United States are ten times those to Europe, or that the United States accounts for more than a third of Canada’s economy. Both speaker and audience indulged a complete fantasy of reciprocal magnetic interest. It will not last long.
For twenty years the American economy has grown more than twice as fast as the European Union’s. Europe is wallowing economically; its principal powers flounder while only Italy presently possesses a serious government.
The romantic notion that the old European powers, having squandered their leadership in the world, can simply stand on one another’s shoulders and reclaim planetary primacy is a delusion.
Carney tells Europe what it wants to hear

As I’ve said time and again, the world’s largest economy has options.
President Trump’s message below about potash makes that abundantly clear. Our arrogance as a country remains our greatest weakness.

Cow towing to faux nationalism from the left by adopting their pejorative, imo, is worse than ST’s proud message.
Why are you sucking up to the lowest common denominator voter on the left?

“If you don't believe your country should come before yourself - You can better serve your country by moving somewhere else." 🇨🇦💪🏼

Compelling:
The West’s net-zero policies are handing China a huge strategic advantage
While Western nations close reliable energy and raise costs, China adds wind and solar without giving up coal, oil or gas—then sells us the panels, batteries and other products our mandates require
China’s approach is “add, don’t subtract”: build renewables and nuclear power while continuing to expand fossil fuels. This supplies cheap, dependable energy for Chinese industry. Meanwhile, many Western governments deliberately make their own energy more expensive and become increasingly dependent on Chinese solar panels, batteries, critical minerals and manufacturing.
Western climate organizations scrutinize democracies far more aggressively than China, where independent activism is impossible and access depends on the state.
Climate policy should be judged by its actual effect on global emissions, energy prices, industrial competitiveness and dependence on China—not simply by whether it appears ambitious at home.

Every glib, arrogant, virtue-signalling celebrity who’s broadcast the lie that kids will kill themselves if not allowed to transition deserves to have this read aloud to them non-stop through a megaphone for a year.
A landmark Finnish study has found a sharp rise in psychiatric illness among adolescents following sex-alteration procedures.
The peer-reviewed study, published in Acta Paediatrica, tracked every young person under 23 who contacted Finland's gender clinics between 1996 and 2019.
A total 2,083 individuals were studied, with 16,643 matched controls. They were followed for up to 25 years.
Finland's health registers are mandatory, which means no one opts out — this is the complete national picture.
The numbers: psychiatric morbidity rose from 9.8% to 60.7% in adolescents who underwent feminising reassignment, and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising reassignment.
Even after adjusting for prior psychiatric history, gender-referred adolescents faced five times the risk of male population controls, and three times the risk of female controls.
"Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment," the authors concluded.
Referrals after 2010 arrived sicker. 47.9% had already needed psychiatric treatment before their first clinic visit, against 15.3% among controls.
The authors' read: for some adolescents, gender distress may be secondary to other mental health challenges.
The evidence keeps mounting. The silencing continues anyway.
How many more adolescents will be told this is "care"?

Why isn’t our media reporting and questioning why Mexico is near a deal and Canada is crickets.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced progress in trade talks with President Trump following a phone call.
So, if Mexico and the U.S. sign a bilateral deal before the midterms, what will Canada’s strategy be?
Do we even have one?

Other than”green” projects, nothing is moving and if the crux of our well being relies on our relationship with the US, this is hardly the time for Canada as China or Europe’s stalking horse.
We need to get past Trump’s idiosyncrasies. Even Xi is in DC next week
Ultimately we dont know what the future holds. We can only be masters of what we can control and plan to manage the risk they involve. It was a slow start by Carney but overall he's winning me over in that we're heading in the right direction.

Voting for climate/Netzero policies has consequences.
I warned for a decade, but affordability was sacrificed in favour of virtue signalling & embracing ESG nonsense that hollowed out manufacturing + energy resource investments - all of which destroyed the C$ & purchase power
Nanos says 73% of Canadians now fear energy bills. Heating. Gas. Up from 45% a year ago. Three in four. Winter’s coming. They feel helpless
Government score on keeping energy affordable: 1% “very good.” Four in ten say poor or very poor
Same poll: “Best time to be ambitious on climate even if it costs the economy?” Quebec leans yes. Prairies lean no
One group is calculating whether they can heat the house. The other is scoring moral feel good points while the rest of the world treats expensive climate timelines as a luxury it can no longer afford
The bills arrived and more and more find climate is a luxury belief

"It is very telling when a prime minister declares that we are at war with the world’s largest economy, yet refuses to answer questions from the media or recall Parliament—and few political columnists even raise the issue."
"With all this uncertainty at the border, many food companies will be asking where they can manufacture their products with the least geopolitical exposure. And between 350 million affluent consumers and a market of 41 million, numbers are stacked against Canada, I’m afraid."

The Carney government is funding a directory designed to help Canadians find local news they can trust, as Ottawa increasingly casts state-funded media as a defence against disinformation and threats to “social cohesion.”
According to Access to Information records obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter, the Department of Canadian Heritage is funding researchers to build a “comprehensive, regularly updated Canadian local news directory.”
