Mark Carney says he's begun the process of renouncing Irish, U.K. citizenship

Liberal leadership hopeful Mark Carney says he's written to the British and Irish governments to begin the process of renouncing his citizenship in both countries, leaving him solely with Canadian citizenship if the process is completed.

At a leadership event in Oakville, Ont., on Friday night, Carney told reporters his belief is that as prime minister, he should hold only one citizenship.

"I have already initiated the process to renounce my citizenships in both the United Kingdom and Ireland," he said.

Carney, who was born in Canada, has held Irish citizenship for decades. He became a British citizen in 2018, five years after he began serving as governor of the Bank of England.

The former Bank of Canada governor told reporters there are "several members of the House of Commons who have several passports," and there have been leaders of other federal political parties, like the Conservatives, who hold multiple citizenship.

"I'm not judging those other people," Carney said. "I'm saying as prime minister, I should only hold one citizenship."

During the 2019 federal election, the Globe and Mail revealed that then-Conservative leader Andrew Scheer's father is an American by birth and passed along his citizenship to Scheer and his siblings.

Scheer pledged on the campaign trail to renounce his U.S. citizenship, but he reversed course after the Conservatives lost the election. In 2020, Scheer told reporters that "given the fact that I won't be prime minister, I discontinued the process."

A CBC News investigation found that at least 56 parliamentarians from the 2015-19 Parliament — 44 MPs and 12 senators — had been born outside Canada. At least 22 of them had citizenship from other countries.

Trump is in an undeclared war with the remnants of the British Empire and Brussels-WEF globohomo

Canada is one of their occupied nations and proving grounds

Someone told me that Canada stopped being a country sometime after the end of WWII.

Right now their identity revolves around Anti-Americanism.

Poilievre should be able to easily beat this foreigner in the upcoming election. How can Canadians vote for a political party that has chosen a leader who has divided loyalties and lived abroad for more than a decade? Poilievre should daily question Carney’s loyalty and patriotism.

Carney can argue that he is subject only to King Charles.

Means nothing. They will give it back to him when he wants it.

I guess that’d make him a man without a country.

Unless he actually considers Canada a real nation.

I give up on Canada. Woke women are in charge and globalist Simps like Carney and (formerly but probably still holding power in some hidden capacity) Turdeau.

China and WEF etc. have fully infiltrated Canada. Just imagine if USAID was a country. Then you’ll understand Canada.

Polievere is like Farage. They’ve both recently signaled that mass immigration will essentially continue as it is now. They pander to the invaders imho. Just being slightly to the right of a globalist like Carney is meaningless. If you’re not going to tackle the existential threat what’s the point?

FakeWikipedia conveniently omits to update Carney’s Bilderberg attendances!

Wikipedia: Carney attended the annual meetings of the Bilderberg Group in 2011, 2012 and 2019...

no mention at all of Bilderberg in Politico’s worthless list of 55 “Things to Know”. following are the only worthwhile bits!

11 March: Politico: 55 Things to Know About Canada’s Next Prime Minister, Mark Carney
Story by Sue Allan
Carney, 59, is a career banker and climate advocate with the globalist mindset of a true Davos man — credentials now out of favor in Washington...

4. He served as U.N. special envoy for climate action and finance where his annual salary was $1.

43. Carney was at the United Nations when Greta Thunberg delivered her speech to the U.N. Climate Action Summit on Sep. 23, 2019. “We will not let you get away with this,” the Swedish teenager told the adults in the room. “Right here, right now is where we draw the line.” The message Carney received: “With the clarity of youth: We were failing.”

Poilievre is even worse than Muldoon, or Joe clark, on the scale of ethnic pandering CINO.

Here he is chanting some Pagan prayers, or something.

President Trump could end Carney’s political career with a tweet thanking him for moving his company’s HQ south from Canada.

I don’t care what he does, but when it comes to America, nobody should have multiple citizenships. Be American or don’t. Choose one.
