Carney Marries Canada to Dying Europe
American Thinker ^ | 19 Sep, 2026 | J.B. Shurk

Bon voyage and bonne chance, poor, misguided snow socialists.

On Wednesday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen gave an American-style “State of the Union” address to the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France. During her speech, she proposed that Canada be admitted as an “associate member” of the ostensibly European Union. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney sat in the front row as an honored guest before delivering a speech of his own to the parliament the next day. Taken together, the Leyen-Carney parade of oratorical self-puffery exuded a nauseating bouquet of arrogance, foolishness, incompetence, and stale entitlement.

E.C. President (some say “Queen”) Ursula speaks as if she rules Europe (regularly invoking “our values” when describing a continent of distinct nations, dissimilar cultures, and over two hundred native languages), but European citizens never voted for her. P.M. Carney is the former head of both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, and his globalist cronies installed him in Canada’s highest political office just last year. While the central banker and the queen prattle on about “democracy,” neither ascended to the peaks of power in a democratic fashion. They are “elites” chosen by “elites” to represent the interests of “elites.”

Since the Second World War, the United States has heavily subsidized the economies of Canada and Europe, providing for the West’s collective security while permitting one-way tariffs against American producers. This eighty-year arrangement has endured long beyond its immediate post-war necessity, when European manufacturers were desperate to rebuild amid general ruin and the United States worried about losing more of the continent to the Soviet Union’s billowing Iron Curtain.

Unfortunately, this part of Western history does not get an honest treatment in children’s textbooks, so Europeans and Canadians grow up believing that their economies succeed despite the United States

---- "I cannot get over the idea of any man wanting to live under a ‘king’. "

Anecdote as reply: During my times working in the UK and being obviously an American, I would sometimes chat with colleagues who were in fact "subjects" of the Crown. They were happy to grouse and complain (some) and adulate (others), but the notion of not being a subject of their royal was almost unthinkable to them. I suppose from birth they'd learned their place in society under some sort of aristocracy, and so among their goals was to achieve some level of notice from said monarch, such as appointments and minor titles and the like. I still find the mindset strange. This applied, by the way, to some subjects under other north European, non-Brit royals. Something about allegiance to their culture which included a royal family and such. Blech.

What is coming for Canada and Canadians will likely be tied to our American, non-royalist mentality, corrosive as it is and should be to "subjects."

Sometime back, there was a Freeper with whom I tussled occasionally who finally admitted his loyalty to and hope for return of the Bourbon dynasty of Europe, currently with Felipe IV in Spain. His allegiance, though he busied himself with an American conservative forum, was to hold forth on that dream of living as a subject under the Bourbons. not the Windsors, as one would have it. Go figure. Almost as unfathomable as Liz Cheney campaigning for and with Kamala Harris.

Boomer Canucks will keep Carney and the globalists in power. The huge run up in house prices put them in a good position and they want nothing to change. There is no chance of anything changing in Canada until enough of them are dead that the remains of the Boomer generation can be outvoted by younger Canucks who can’t get jobs or buy houses and who have seen their country flooded with immigrants to the point that it is nearly unrecognizable.

By then it will be too late to save the country.

A kingdom is a good form of government IF you have a good king.

The way I see it, we need US Marines occupying Ottawa.


No need for that , two provinces have been seeking succession for years now. Alberta is the one closest to achieving their goal of Independence from Canada.

AI:
“Provinces Advocating for Independence
Several provinces in Canada have movements that advocate for independence or greater autonomy. The most notable among these is Alberta.
Alberta
Separatist Movements: Alberta has active separatist movements that seek to secede from Canada.
Referendum Discussions: Some groups within Alberta are discussing the possibility of holding a referendum on separation.
Legal Considerations: Any move towards independence would involve legal steps, including consultations and adherence to constitutional rules.
Other Provinces
While Alberta is the most prominent province with a separatist movement, other provinces may have groups advocating for greater autonomy or independence, but they are not as organized or widely recognized as Alberta’s movements.
In summary, Alberta is the primary province in Canada with a significant push for independence, supported by discussions around referendums and legal frameworks....”

In short, the clock is ticking on this Carney clown.

“Alberta Referendum On October 19, 2026:

Albertans are now nine weeks away from one of the most consequential votes in the province’s history, and the latest polling suggests the outcome may not be nearly as close as the surrounding political noise has made it seem. An update published August 14, 2026 by pollster Éric Grenier’s Alberta Referendum

Poll Tracker shows nearly two-thirds of Albertans say they would vote to remain in Canada, while less than a third say they would support starting the legal process toward a binding independence referendum.

That gap has actually widened slightly since July, even though a newer Angus Reid Institute poll showing somewhat higher independence support shifted the overall polling average toward separation on the surface”

https://govtschemes.org/alberta-referendum-october-2026-questions-and-polling/

This vote in October for independence will be most interesting.

Looks like Story Time Hour. Carney is already sitting criss-cross applesauce style.

--- "A kingdom is a good form of government IF you have a good king."

A most interesting assertion, from Plato forward through the centuries.

So a respectful challenge: name a kingdom of this world which has fulfilled this assertion for any length of time. Thanks in advance.

All this because they hate Trump and are angry over his ‘51st state’ talk.

If Canada wants to survive, it must ally itself with the USA, but that is exactly what it has chosen not to do. Bye bye, Canada.

This is exactly why I had started saying that the US needs to invade Canada and make it a military protectorate. A bill of rights should be established for the citizens of Canada and local self-rule allowed, with military courts ensuring that the local governments do not violate the bill of rights. This would be a win-win for Canadian citizens and for the US.

I'm sure this sounds outrageous to people, but Canada aligning itself with an anti-US alliance is exactly what I feared. All the claims that the US is invulnerable are predicated on the assumption that a major enemy cannot build up forces right on our border.

I cannot get over the idea of any man wanting to live under a ‘king’.

That was the whole basis of Canada. From the beginning, they were the anti-America. Still, I wonder if they really think about it that much now. Probably "independence" from the US is more on their minds than being dependents of a faraway king.

Funny how the “No Kings” people here prefer Canada to the US.

How is Rome going to take over the world? Years ago it was widely believed the EU would evolve into the One World Government ruled from Rome. That’s nowhere near true now. Europe is being run into the shoals intentionally.
