Following a day of talks focused on domestic issues, such as bail reform and health transfers, Canada’s premiers are wrapping up their three-day gathering in Muskoka presenting a united front in the ever-looming threat of U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war. “We can walk and chew gum at the same time,” New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt said during a post-meeting press conference. “What’s happened is that the pressing threats that Donald Trump has made to our economy have meant that instead of occupying all of our meetings and squeezing out conversations about bail reform and immigration, we’ve been meeting a...

The big problem with writing an adulatory story about someone is when you have to leave out a highly important fact that would completely upend the very premise of your fable. Such was the case with Simon van Zuylen-Wood singing high praises for Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney as somehow leading the resistance against President Donald Trump in his country. Mr. van Zuylen-Wood set the adoration scene of Carney early in his New York magazine story on Monday in "The Canadians Are Furious."

He has no experience of elective office. He won by the narrowest of margins, and hasn’t even spent much of his recent career in his own country. Canadians took a huge leap of faith yesterday in voting for Mark Carney as their next prime minister at a moment in their history when the American president Donald Trump has imposed huge tariffs on their country and even threatened to annex it. Still, at least they can reassure themselves that Carney’s vast experience as Governor of the Bank of England means he is a safe pair of hands. But there is one...

VIDEOThe first Mark Carney you see in this video is the Mark Carney that Liberals in Canada THOUGHT they would be getting. A tough talking Mark Carney who is not at all shy about talking Smack about Donald Trump. Of course that Mark Carney turned out to be a complete illusion and can only be seen thanks to the technological miracle of AI. Unfortunately for them, the second Mark Carney you see is the REAL Mark Carney who immediately caved on implementing a digital services tax when Big Daddy Trump demanded that he do so.Yes, the AI Mark Carney is...

Less than 48 hours before the country was set to come together and celebrate its sovereignty in the face of ongoing annexation threats from the White House, the federal government dropped a bombshell. Ottawa announced on Sunday evening it was rescinding the digital services tax (DST) — a levy used as an excuse by U.S. President Donald Trump last Friday to halt trade talks with Canada. He described it as “egregious,” adding “economically we have such power over Canada.” Trump also called it a “blatant attack,” before eventually regressing to his usual threats of raising tariffs and making Canada the...

Canada announced Sunday night it was suspending a tax on U.S. technology firms that had caused President Trump to suspend trade negotiations between the two nations, handing a major victory to the American president. The Canadian government said it was suspending enforcement of the tax that was due to be collected starting Monday, saying the action was taken “in anticipation of a mutually beneficial comprehensive trade arrangement with the United States.” Prime Minister Mark Carney informed the Trump administration of the decision, and the two sides plan to resume trade talks on or about July 21. Trump had called the...

June 28 (Reuters) - The United States and the Group of Seven nations have agreed to support a proposal that would exempt U.S. companies from some components of an existing global agreement, the G7 said in a statement on Saturday.The group has created a "side-by-side" system in response to the U.S. administration agreeing to scrap the Section 899 retaliatory tax proposal from President Donald Trump's tax and spending bill, it said in a statement from Canada, the head of the rolling G7 presidency.The G7 said the plan recognizes existing U.S. minimum tax laws and aims to bring more stability to...

VIDEOELBOWS UP!!! Yeah, that was Mark Carney's campaign rallying cry during his campaign for Prime Minister of Canada in reaction to Donald Trump. However, the brutal reality is that Carney embarrassed Canada by going "ELBOWS DOWN" when he backed off from a digital services tax when Big Daddy Trump threatened to break off trade talks if it was not rescinded. How long will it be before Canadians, including liberals who were suckered by this globalist fraud, demand his resignation for bringing upon them national humiliation?

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney praised President Donald Trump for his “bold measures” to address substantial changes around the globe to commence the G7 meeting in Alberta, Canada, on Monday. Carney referenced several previous G7 gatherings throughout the last five decades at “turning points in history,” including after the fall of the Berlin Wall and after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States, and contended the current moment is another turning point on the global stage: We’re meeting at one of those hinge moments, those turning points in history. The world’s more divided and dangerous. Hostile states...

President Trump announced Tuesday that Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen had agreed to stop attacking American vessels in the Red Sea and that his administration will cease strikes on them in response. “The Houthis have announced that … they don’t want to fight anymore,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office while meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. “They just don’t want to fight. And we will honor that, and we will stop the bombings, and they have capitulated, but more importantly, we will take their word [when] they say they will not be blowing up ships anymore, and that’s...

Younger Canadians stuck living with their parents and unable to afford starting families supported the Conservative Party. Liberals won anyway.The most memorable meme of the recent Canadian election campaign emerged from the line outside an Ontario microbrewery, where an older Liberal Party supporter named Matt Janes flashed two middle fingers to protesters agitating against Prime Minister Mark Carney.The obscenity went viral — with Janes becoming infamous as the Brantford Boomer — not just for its crass vulgarity, but for exposing the deep generational divide in Canada. Polls showed Canadians boomers overwhelmingly backing the successful Liberal campaign, which Carney centered on...

Cash is dead. Speech is scored. Freedom is conditional.. ... Mark Carney didn’t rise through politics. He was not elected. He was installed — by the very institutions that profit most from technocratic control and public obedience. Goldman Sachs. The Bank of Canada. The Bank of England. The Financial Stability Board. The World Economic Forum. Bilderberg. The Trilateral Commission. The Council for Inclusive Capitalism. This is a man who has spent his entire adult life inside the machinery of global finance and elite governance. Now, he’s running a country. Carney is no fool. He speaks in the hushed tones of...

Canada held elections on Tuesday, and in a stunning development, Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party completed the comeback. While the conservatives did make gains compared to the last decade, left-winger Mark Carney will remain prime minister, and the bill is about to come due. After suffering under years of Trudeau's disastrous leadership, Canadians had a chance to change course. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, who was the odds-on favorite to win the election just a few months ago, had promised to lift his nation out of its decline, promoting personal and economic freedom. The choice should have been clear. Instead, the voters...

Countless truckers gathered for the 2022 Freedom Convoy in Ottawa, forming a gridlock, with a clear agenda and request to repeal all COVID mandates. The protest was peaceful and no one was injured. They fought on behalf of the world at a time when the global population was imprisoned by mandates that were later revealed to be falsified without any scientific backing. Then Prime Minister Justin Trudeau evoked the 1988 Emergencies Act, which is intended for an “urgent and critical situation” that “seriously endangers the lives, health or safety of Canadians.” Deeming a peaceful protest an act of terrorism is...

Liberal Party leader Mark Carney declared elected in his riding of Nepean a seat in the Ottawa area. The central banker turned politician will lead Canada to offer what one might call "Globalist Opposition" to President Donald Trump's efforts to coordinate and unite as many nations as possible to oppose the economic challenge of China. Trump seeking to bring Canada into the United States and obtain vital Arctic territories to compete with Russia's dominance of that region...

Time for the "Canada Update" let's get the classic opening theme for "Hockey Night In Canada" I used to watch that when I did master control work... Before the tariff drama and talk about Canada as a 51st state from Mr. Trump the Conservatives and Pierre Poilievre had Justin Trudeau and the Liberals on the ropes. Now new Liberal leader Prime Minister Mark Carney... Carney agreed with a protester talking about Israel committing "genocide" in Gaza which allowed Pro-Israel Canadian media like Ezra Levant and Rebel News to pounce on Carney along with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu... In fact some...

Liberal Leader Mark Carney clarified a remark he made on Tuesday suggesting he agreed with the allegation that Israel's military action in Gaza qualifies as a genocide. While at a rally in Calgary, someone in the crowd — who did not appear on camera — shouted: "Mr. Carney, there's a genocide in Palestine!" as the Liberal leader was getting settled on the stage. Carney replied: "I'm aware. That's why we have an arms embargo," before Liberal supporters drowned out the questioner by chanting the Liberal leader's name. Asked the following day to provide clarity on his response, Carney said he...

Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney, who assumed the top government role after the resignation of his radical leftist predecessor Justin Trudeau, vowed to “fight” the tariffs that President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday — which overwhelmingly did not affect Canada. President Trump unveiled a long list of reciprocal tariffs on American trade partners on Wednesday, a day he branded “Liberation Day” for the American economy. The tariffs, he explained, were intended to target countries that levy high tariffs on American goods while enjoying nearly fully unencumbered access to the U.S. market.

the new Liberal party leader and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has called for snap elections for April 28th, trying to fully capitalize on the Liberal’s latest surge in the polls after endless months badly trailing the Conservative opposition. But as the campaign begins, a reputational bomb has gone off on banker Carney’s lap, as an investigation by the National Post identified at least 10 instances of apparent plagiarism in his 1995 Oxford University doctorate thesis. Carney was found to use ‘full quotes, paraphrases, or slightly modified quotes from four previous works without proper acknowledgement or attribution’. Liberals are in...

Canada’s prime minister, Mark Carney, has said the inadvertent leak of classified military plans by senior US officials means that allied nations must increasingly “look out for ourselves” as trust frays with a once-close ally. Speaking a day after it was revealed that a journalist was accidentally included in a group chat discussing airstrikes against Yemeni rebels, Carney said the intelligence blunder was a “serious, serious issue and all lessons must be taken”. He said it would be critical to see “how people react to those mistakes and how they tighten them up”.
