Links - 7th June 2026 (1 - Mark Carney)

Meme - "...my new government will create higher-paying jobs and lifelong careers ..., and build the fastest growing economy in the G7" - Mark Carney I April 19, 2025
"BIGGEST CANADIAN JOB LOSS IN FOUR YEARS" - BNN BLOOMBERG I MARCH 13, 2026

Meme - "Canada just lost 84,000 jobs. Who will the Liberals blame?
Pierre Poilievre. War in Iran. Danielle Smith. Donald Trump"

David Ljunggren on X - "As others have noted and our story spells out, the $35 billion Arctic plan announced by @MarkJCarney is *not* new money - "In 2022, Ottawa announced a C$38.6 billion plan to modernize its defenses and the joint North American Aerospace Defense Command" #cdnpoli"

The Shift has Hit the Fan | Facebook - "Carney has walked himself straight into a political and economic trap of his own making. He backed the U.S. strike on Iran and his own base immediately erupted. The backlash was so intense that Liberal MPs started scrambling to contain the damage. Anita Anand stepped out to distance herself from Washington’s position, and Will Greaves followed with his own remarks clearly aimed at calming the anti-war wing of the party. That’s when you know a leader has a problem... when members of his own caucus start freelancing in public just to keep the base from melting down. Now Carney is stuck between two realities. On one side is the activist base that demands he oppose Trump, oppose American foreign policy, and oppose anything that even smells like cooperation with Washington. On the other side is Canada’s economy, which is deeply tied to the United States through CUSMA and integrated supply chains... especially in the auto sector. And that’s where things get dangerous. Japan has already made it clear that CUSMA stability is critical to its manufacturing footprint in Canada. These companies didn’t invest billions here out of charity. They built factories in Canada because it provides guaranteed access to the North American market. If that framework becomes unstable, the math changes overnight. Factories move. Investment moves. Jobs move. And once those supply chains leave, they almost never come back. So Carney now faces a brutal choice. If he cooperates with the Americans and works to preserve CUSMA, his base will accuse him of selling out to Trump. If he leans into the anti-American posture his base demands, he risks blowing up one of the most important economic agreements Canada has. Which means the most likely outcome is obvious. He’ll negotiate quietly behind the scenes with Washington, cut whatever deal is necessary to keep the system functioning, and hope the details stay buried long enough to avoid political fallout. But leaks always happen. When they do, Conservatives will hammer him for hypocrisy... and they’ll be right. The media, of course, will mostly look the other way. The narrative will magically become that Carney “stood up to Trump” and forced concessions from the Americans. He’ll be celebrated as the leader who “saved jobs,” even if the reality is that Canada simply scrambled to preserve what it already had. The Americans will likely get more than they originally asked for. Canada will break even at best. And the left will cheer Carney as a national hero for cleaning up a mess that his own political positioning helped create in the first place. Meanwhile the real risk sits quietly in the background... Canada gambling with one of the last major industrial pillars we still have. Because if those auto plants start heading south, no amount of press conferences, spin, or media praise will bring them back."

Michelle Phillips on X - "Mark Carney goes to India and the outcome is that Canadian tax payers get to fund 200 Indians on full ride scholarships to our universities and to be flooded by more non English speaking foreigners. The USA get a refinery funded by India. Please though, do go on about how Carney is such a great negotiator!"
Too bad a lot of people just believe what the media tell them

NDP's Idlout crossing to Liberals effectively gives Carney a majority | Toronto Sun - "It’s an odd coalition that Carney has put together to get to this point.  Just days ago in Ottawa, Idlout endorsed Avi Lewis to be leader of the NDP. Lewis supports several radical ideas including the government owning mobile phone and internet companies, a government-run grocery store, and a bank run through Canada Post.  Chris D’Entremont has been associated with Parliament’s Pro-Life Caucus in the past and is opposed to abortion, while Michael Ma is a wealthy former business executive and Matt Jeneroux was elected five times as a Conservative before becoming a Liberal.  Now, they all sit in Mark Carney’s Liberal caucus and Canada effectively has a majority government."

Meme - "Carney plays politics at your expense:
Jan 5 - $8.5 million for linguistic education in Nunavut
Jan 30 - $250 million to build 750 homes in Nunavut
Feb 6 - $600,000 for digital literacy in Nunavut
Feb 19 - $228 million for a series of projects in Nunavut
Mar 4 - $6 billion in trade and infrastructure funding in Nunavut
Mar 10 - Nunavut NDP MP Lori Idlout crosses the floor to the Liberals"

Canada has gone mad 🍎 on X - "This is dark.  Under Trudeau, NDP MP Lori Idlout's company got millions in sole-source Liberal contracts...likely bribes for NDP votes.  Now under Carney, she gets more millions in 'investments' from the Justice Minister in her riding, right before crossing.  What I find curious is why a Justice Minister went to Nunavut to make this announcement. All of his previous announcements have to do with justice. This is not. Why announce non-justice funding in Nunavut? This is certainly suspicious and gives credence to this theory that she received some sort of pardon for her son  And thinking about the magnitude of what the Liberals are prepared to do to circumvent our democracy is staggering."

Jonathan Kay on X - "Lori Idlout, the floor-crossing NDP caucus member, has been a prominent supporter of mandatory indigenous sensitivity training for the Cdn civil service. In 2023, it was disclosed that she was a sole-source government contractor selling …. Indigenous sensitivity training"

Carney government still regularly blames Conservatives for failures - "Prime Minister Mark Carney answered a House of Commons question about grocery inflation by replying that the whole issue was the fault of the Conservatives.  According to Carney, the food prices were rising because of “the fall in the Canadian dollar caused by the obstructionism of the members opposite before this government came into place.”  It’s certainly nothing new in Canadian politics for an incumbent government to reflexively blame a perceived failure on the actions of the opposition. But the rhetoric usually peters out after a decade of said opposition party having been out of power. Nevertheless, in the 46th Parliament, it’s not uncommon for the Carney government to attribute national failure to Conservative influence. A cursory summary is below.
Conservative “obstructionism” tanked the dollar
Conservatives lost billions on auto sector subsidies first
The Liberals’ entire tenure has been monopolized by Conservative “mess”
By voting against budget, Conservatives opposed literally every facet of government"

Amy Hamm: Poilievre's immigration plan a political winner : r/CanadianConservative - "I am noticing a trend here, Pierre is going to make this a very big deal the liberals are going to protest it and call the CPC names. After they get beaten in the polls over it they will than proceed to do a very half hearted change that doesn't really address the issue meaningfully or correct it in any real way but it will look like something happened.  They will than claim that this is what they wanted to do the whole time and Pierre was being obstructionist and that they were the problem the whole time. Liberal supporters will than proceed to clap like seals that Carney has such good ideas."

Liberal Party on X - "In 10 months, Mark Carney and our Liberal government have secured more than 20 economic and security partnerships across four continents. We’re attracting new foreign investment to build a stronger, more resilient economy and create new opportunities for Canadians."
MikesMoneyTalks.ca on X - "MISLEADING - PM Carney signed only ONE deal (uranium, India) that is a binding, enforceable commercial contract with specific commitments. MOU are commitments to continue "talking". In the past the Liberal government signed/made big announcements that resulted in no meaningful economic activity
- eg - Canada–China Clean Technology MOUs never produced commercial deployment or jobs.
- Canada and India under Modi and Trudeau signed MOUs on trade and investment cooperation, clean technology & infrastructure development, which never moved beyond exploratory stages. The promised job-creating projects were rarely realized. There are many other examples #cdnpoli"
Left wingers think words are the same as actions, so they're taken in, of course

Carney’s global deals are paper-thin until we see real results: Ivison - "This year alone, the prime minister’s website lists fresh agreements with China, Qatar, Luxembourg, India and Australia.  The latest list of putative deals from India suggests the government has now signed $85 billion worth of global investment agreements in the past 10 months. This would be big, if true, since foreign direct investment in Canada reached a 20-year high of $96.8 billion last year.  But the applause should be held until we see the evidence.  Adam Chambers, the Conservative critic on international trade, said the prime minister has no problems setting expectations very high on the world stage.  “However, the risk he faces is one of results.  These memorandums of understanding and agreements to agree generally do not guarantee actions or results.  The prime minister’s time spent as a central bank governor and as lead finance official for international engagements would often see heavily negotiated communiques tossed aside when the respective parties returned to their home countries.  Success should be measured by results achieved — not on promises to deliver something in the future,” he said.  The government’s recent press release from New Delhi talks about “commercial agreements that will create thousands of careers in Canada, boost bilateral investment and secure new opportunities for Canadian workers.” But anyone who has been involved in international trade knows that reality often has a way of frustrating good intentions.  Former Liberal foreign affairs minister Stéphane Dion said that officials work hard to conclude agreements “but the danger is that they stay on the paper.”  He said he recommended to Prime Minister Mark Carney that if he wants to convert paper gains into jobs, he needs to appoint an official to be publicly responsible for implementation.  He said the prime minister should urge his foreign counterparts to do the same to ensure progress. “Otherwise, the danger of it staying on paper is very high,” Dion said.  Carney appointed former clerk of the Privy Council, John Hannaford, as his personal representative to the European Union, but there do not appear to be similar appointments yet to track the dozens of commitments made with China and India. Dion, who was also Canada’s ambassador in France and Germany, said the message of Carney’s speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos in January was that Canada is serious about trade diversification — something that has been talked about since the days of Pierre Elliott Trudeau.  “But we won’t do it unless there is a face and a name who is responsible and accountable for implementation,” Dion said... Carney should recognize voters have limited patience for capriciousness after 10 years of Justin Trudeau. Senior Liberals would openly say that the former prime minister was good at getting people excited about new ideas and projects but was less interested in implementation. “It created real challenges in execution,” said one former ministerial chief of staff.  Trudeau himself said he would set the frame and figure out how to convey the message. But at that point, he apparently considered it mission accomplished."

mistersunshinebaby on X - "WATCH: Mark Carney LASHES OUT at a reporter who pressed him on India's foreign interference in Canada. The Prime Minister doesn't like to be reminded of the government's failure to protect Canada from foreign interference."

Northern Perspective on X - "🚨CARNEY SINKING🚨 Mark Carney just had his worst press conference yet. Not only was he cornered on foreign interference from India, he was also called out on his complete contradiction of his Davos speech. The cherry on top was snapping at a CBC reporter."

Michelle Parker on X - "CSIS warned Ottawa Indian diplomats were targeting Sikh 🇨🇦's. While CSIS had evidence of India’s involvement in the Nijjar murder carney chose trade. In India last wk carney signed agreements worth billions telling reporters that Indian foreign interference is NOT a concern."

Fun Tom 🇨🇦 💂 on X - "🟥 There are two types of leaders.
1. Those that LOSE their parliamentary seat in a democratic election, refuse to accept the People's will, make underhanded deals to trigger an expensive by-election to slither back into the House of Commons via the backdoor, just to spend their time lying and obstructing progress.
2. Then there are those leaders who love Canada, and use their superior leadership skills and economic prowess to pursue a prosperous and sovereign country. ✅ 🇨🇦 *glowing CBC story on India "diplomatic breakthrough"*"
Jd on X - "Who got kicked out for Carney to snag that seat? Oh right, the guy from India alleging Indian interference—which Carney now claims doesn’t exist post-deal with India. Looks like Carney’s a compromised Indian asset. 🤔 #CanadianPolitics #ForeignInterference"

Carney signs deals worth billions in diplomatic breakthrough with India's Modi | CBC News : r/CanadianConservative - "CBC's new zinger "diplomatic breakthrough". CBC can teach a course on how to build propaganda + cult of personality on the ruins of a once-great country."
Carney signs deals worth billions in diplomatic breakthrough with India's Modi | CBC News : r/CanadianConservative - ""mou's". They mean nothing and are not a signed trade deal.  They are the equivalent of saying, "hey we should go for lunch sometime". Nothing more."
"Correct, it’s just an agreement that both parties will talk sometime. But no deals have been made. This is all Carney has done, with all of flights, all over the world. He has just made agreements, but zero trade deals."
Carney signs deals worth billions in diplomatic breakthrough with India's Modi | CBC News : r/CanadianConservative - "And here's the kicker with a deal like this: India has high tarrifs on some of our goods (stated in the article). And then Carney is being praised for working on a deal to reduce those tarrifs. Sounds a lot like the US situation, but, a deal with the US is apparently treason. Basically, Carney wants to use US tensions to stay in power, and the MSM won't call him out on it, while praising him for making "deals" with everyone else."

Mark Carney hails India as ‘natural partner,’ sidestepping questions over alleged violence and political interference in Canada : r/canada - "Weren't these guys sending assassins to Canada just a little while ago?"

Mark Carney hails India as ‘natural partner,’ sidestepping questions over alleged violence and political interference in Canada : r/canada - "When it comes to wooing for business, everything else is brushed under the rug."
"What's the alternative right now, only do business with ethical superpowers? You have any of those i don't know about?"
The same people who want to boycott the US because it's a fascist authoritarian regime want to engage countries that genuinely violate human rights. When hating the US becomes a substitute for a coherent worldview.

Mark Carney hails India as ‘natural partner,’ sidestepping questions over alleged violence and political interference in Canada : r/canada - "Now I'm confused. A few months ago LPC partisans were all in that Modi and the BJP were interfering in Canadian elections, rigged the CPC leadership race to get Pierre Poilievre nominated and were acting hand in hand with Stephen Harper and the IDU, and PP would gloss over India assassinating Canadian citizens on Canadian soil, and working to supplant our democracy. Part of a global right wing plot.  Now the same LPC are saying India is our natural partner and glossing over state sponsored assassinations and political interference.... was Carney the Indian plant all along?"

Pressure on Carney to address Indian interference allegations after Modi meeting | Canada | The Guardian

Scott Robertson on X - "CARNEY: "Canada's founding insight is that unity does not require uniformity. That we can share a country without conforming to a single identity. That our differences, honestly acknowledged and respectfully navigated, are a source of strength.""
Robin Skies on X - "Its not possible to share a country without conforming to a single unified identity. You need some shared commonalities, like language, laws or customs to do basic things. What Mark is describing isn't civic nationalism, it's post nationalism and it's destroying Canada."

captive dreamer on X - "Canada's PM Mark Carney: "The United States and Israel have acted without engaging the United Nations or consulting allies, including Canada.""
Mike Coté on X - "Canada: "America is no longer a reliable ally. We reaffirm our strategic partnership with China." Also Canada: "Why didn't America share its secret military plans with us?""

Harrison Faulkner on X - "PM Mark Carney praises Indian international students in Canada, saying they "deepen our ties" with India. Carney announces the launch of the "Canada India Talent and Innovation Strategy" with Canadian universities. Carney says that Canada and India are "one family.""
Robin Skies on X - "The student visa program is by far one of the most abused programs this country has ever produced. Resulting in an influx of poorly vetted individuals whose only purpose is to prop up the GDP of a dying economy. This is a clear indication that Carney has no interest in actually making Canada wealthy or competitive again.  We have to end the unethical immigration scam."

Meme - ""Canadians will judge me by the prices at the grocery store shelves." - Mark Carney"
The Food Professor: "Why Canada leads the G7 in food inflation, again"
Weird. How come the master economist doesn't know that the government has no power over grocery prices? It's just like how he promised to make housing affordable, but he doesn't know the federal government isn't responsible for housing. How ignorant.

Meme - "Path to a Carney majority:
Deficit X
GDP X
Jobs X
Inflation X
Housing X
Auto X
Healthcare X
Affordability X
Trade deal X
Alberta separation X
Quebec separation X
Manufacturing X
Pipelines X
Oil production X
Stoke Trump hate ✅"

Meme - Rhetoric: "WE ARE BUILDING THE STRONGEST ECONOMY IN THE G7" - Mark Carney, September 17, 2025
REALITY: "Canada's ECONOMY IS ON LIFE SUPPORT and country is in recession, says economist" - BNN Bloomberg, February 3, 2026

Tablesalt 🇨🇦🇺🇸 on X - "🚨BREAKING Canada LOSES 35,400 jobs in December, almost ALL in high-paying sectors ZERO jobs have been created under Carney. ZERO. AND, ALMOST 40% of the low number of job vacancies are now in "accommodations and food service""
Vibes above all. "Qualifications" are more important than achievements

Tristin Hopper on X - "I'm yet to hear any real-world praise of Carney that isn't just "he's not putting gasoline on the tire fire like Trudeau was.""
Tristin Hopper on X - "On everything from housing to productivity to crime, insiders are all pretty agreed on what levers need to be pulled for them to start getting better. Without exception, those levers are precisely what Carney's government is actively avoiding. For a supposedly brilliant technocrat, he's not doing a single thing a brilliant technocrat would have done by now."

Feds Admit PM Misled Media | Blacklock's Reporter - "Prime Minister Mark Carney misled media on his private meetings with Chinese Communist leaders, Privy Council records show. Documents written by cabinet aides directly contradicted Carney’s claims that he raised human rights and foreign interference with his Beijing hosts: “On human rights, with the President, yes, we did discuss human rights.”"

Ryan Gerritsen🇨🇦🇳🇱 on X - "When the popularity of Carney keeps going up while at the same time the Country keeps declining there’s a problem.  The only way that’s accomplished is through North Korean level propaganda being used against the nation.   Dear leader is great, pay no attention to your standard of living, overreaching policies, no employment, record job loss, record crime & massive debt."

Damien C. Kurek on X - "Seeing the double standard on display... Liberals and pundits are calling out @PierrePoilievre for going on @JoeRogan to promote Canadian interests. Meanwhile, @MarkJCarney literally launched his campaign for Prime Minister on @TheDailyShow (a US TV show) and prefers foreign venues like Davos and The Economist for policy discussions.  Pierre and the CPC are hard at work as part of Team Canada. It's a shame the Liberals only agree with a "Team Canada" approach when it's them."
