By the time you read this communique, Canada will have a new Prime Minister . . . at least that’s what we’re being led to believe. Unless most of the pundits and prognosticators are wrong, it will be Mark Carney, former Governor of the Bank of England and before that, of the Bank of Canada.

Mr. Carney, although he has served in many high positions, has never been elected as a Member of Parliament, the usual path to the heady role of Prime Minister of Canada. While it is not the first time a non-MP has been chosen to lead a political party, to have that happen while Parliament is prorogued and with the immediate result that the person chosen is suddenly named as PM is unprecedented, at least in modern times.

Mr. Carney is not new to the machinations of the Liberal Party, and it appears that he is being advanced by the party’s ‘inner circle’ to lead—not only the party, but the country—down the same disastrous course as that of our ‘lame duck’ PM, Justin Trudeau. While Mr. Trudeau was the face of the Liberal Party and of the Government during the disastrous Covid years, Mark Carney is acknowledged as one of the central advisors to him on the Covid protocols and mandates, as well as on economic matters. It’s hard to imagine a worse advisor.

His advice and the PM’s actions that it prompted were bad for the people and for the economy. How a person with his banking experience could think that doubling the federal debt, spending hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars—on corporate welfare, foreign abortions, LGBT promotions and foreign wars—was prudent, fiscal policy is hard to believe. Obviously, this man supported the unconstitutional use of the Emergencies Act and the illegal seizure of Canadian bank accounts. He apparently had no wisdom to offer in regard to out-of-control immigration and the overwhelming influx of refugees that have contributed to our national housing crisis and our collapsing healthcare system.

I’ve not heard Mr. Carney complaining about the fentanyl crisis or the cartels and terrorist networks that have been using Canada as a port of entry to the US. The frantic posturing of the Liberal, Conservative and NDP leaders regarding US Tariffs has basically ignored the border issues that the US President has said are the underlying motivation for the tariffs.

Yet, this man, who has never had to face the Canadian electorate or to debate and articulate his failed policies in Parliament is poised to become the dominant figure of the Canadian government and the central spokesman for public policy.

I think—as do many—that the result of the Liberal leadership race has been predetermined. The vote-counting will be simply window-dressing. It seems that Mr. Carney has already received the hidden handshake from those in the Liberal Party who manage these events. For their own reasons, they have ‘disqualified’ one of the other viable contestants, former MP, Ruby Dhalla. The Liberal Party claims their rejection of Ms. Dhalla was based on violations of campaign finance rules; that is an excuse frequently used by political parties who want to get rid of a candidate or contestant they deem to be a potential threat to their electoral success. The Conservative Party has repeatedly used this ploy to eliminate candidates in local riding nomination contests and even in their national leadership contests. It seems that they can always find a donation from a shady character to smear the name of a contestant who might take votes from their chosen favourite.

I’m not saying there is no legitimate complaint about Ruby Dhalla’s financial dealings. I simply don’t know the inside story. It looks like a convenient excuse.

The other possible winner of the Liberal Party’s leadership contest would be former Finance Minister and former Deputy Prime Minister, Chrystia Freeland. Chrystia Freeland is no friend of democracy and no friend of truth and justice. As Finance Minister, she was visibly smirking as she froze the bank accounts of Freedom Convoy participants and supporters. She was in full support of Mr. Trudeau’s brutal police crackdown on peaceful protesters. Only in recent months did the growing schism between her and the PM become evident . . . and glaringly and embarrassingly evident when she publicly declined the lower cabinet position she had been offered and which she deemed to think was beneath her dignity.

As Finance Minister, Ms. Freeland oversaw the crippling of Canada’s economy under the Liberals’ carbon taxes (set to go up another 19% on April 1), Covid handouts, business lockdowns and consistently reckless deficit budgets. Like Trudeau and Carney, she’s connected with the World Economic Forum (WEF) and ascribes to the agenda of the globalists. Like the others, she promotes the climate hoax and the mindless war on CO₂, a natural and beneficial part of our atmosphere.

Of course, all these Liberals striving for a nod from their supporters are viciously pro-abortion, pro-gender confusion and pro a state-run education system. They all claim to be defenders of democracy. The big question is whether the people of Canada will have an opportunity to choose for themselves whether to accept more years of their arrogant and irresponsible mismanagement, or whether they will simply impose it upon us . . . “because they can.”

For a government that will put God first, that will protect innocent human life and that will mandate balanced budgets, join the Christian Heritage Party.
