Mark Carney is now the Prime Minister of Canada designate. Not because you voted for him, not because there was a general election, but because a small group of political insiders decided it was his turn. Carney was handed the reins of our country not by the Canadian people but by the backroom dealers of the Liberal Party and their allies on the left.
This is not how democracy is supposed to work.
Let’s start with the so-called leadership “race.” If you believe the headlines from CBC and other legacy media outlets, this was some kind of sweeping movement of Canadians demanding that Mark Carney take over. The facts tell a different story. According to reports, the Liberals boast about 400,000 registered party members. But in the end, only 267,000 were deemed eligible to cast a ballot. That’s more than one-third—over 130,000 people—disqualified, shut out of the process. Why? What happened? No one seems interested in asking that question, especially not the media covering Carney like he’s a rock star on tour.
For all the talk of inclusion, openness, and fairness, it’s clear that this leadership race was carefully managed, controlled, and sanitized. Carney didn’t invite independent media into his events. He answered few, if any, real questions. His campaign was rolled out like a pre-packaged product, polished for mass consumption but light on substance. That’s probably why he spent most of his time behind closed doors, speaking to select audiences and donors. Meanwhile, the CBC—our state-funded broadcaster—played its part, pumping out endless glowing coverage. No scrutiny, no hard questions.
Compare that to the way conservative candidates are treated in this country. Pierre Poilievre can fill arenas, hold town halls, and face tough questions head-on. Yet the coverage is negative, dismissive, or ignored altogether. We are witnessing social engineering in real time. It’s a manipulation of public opinion through selective coverage and media bias.
But this is bigger than a leadership contest. This is about control. Control of our economy, control of our industry, control of our borders, and ultimately, control of our democracy. And it’s happening in plain sight.
Take the current trade fight with the United States. Carney and his allies act as if they’re standing up for Canadian interests. They use patriotic language to rally support. But we all know the truth. They’re not interested in defending Canadian businesses or jobs. They’re interested in virtue-signaling and ideological posturing. What they’re calling “patriotism” is just the woke movement rebranded. This is activism wearing a flag pin. They want a trade war with Donald Trump. Not because it benefits Canada but because it fits their narrative. Because they can sell it to their base as a moral crusade.
Meanwhile, Canadian businesses are struggling. Investment is leaving the country. According to Statistics Canada, foreign direct investment (FDI) into Canada fell sharply after 2015, coinciding with Trudeau’s first term. In 2014, FDI inflows totaled $53 billion. By 2020, they had dropped to $24 billion. That’s less than half. And it’s not just foreign investment leaving—Canadian capital is going abroad. In 2020, Canadian direct investment abroad hit $1.6 trillion, nearly double what it was in 2010. Why? Because our regulatory environment has become hostile. Because the policies of Trudeau’s Liberals—and now, Carney’s—have made Canada a bad place to do business.
They killed the Energy East pipeline, which would have brought billions in investment and created thousands of jobs. They created impossible obstacles to mining projects that are essential to the green energy transition they claim to support. According to the Fraser Institute, Canada’s mining attractiveness ranking has dropped significantly since 2015. Permitting delays, regulatory uncertainty, and high taxes are pushing mining companies to look elsewhere.
But Carney’s Liberals would rather demonize their critics than admit failure. They accuse conservatives of being “un-Canadian” for questioning their policies. This is the same crowd that spent years apologizing for Canada’s history, opening our borders to anyone and everyone, and driving up demand for housing beyond what the market could handle. Today, we have a housing crisis. We have crime rates rising in every major city. According to Statistics Canada, the country’s Crime Severity Index rose for the second consecutive year in 2022. Violent crime increased by 5%, with homicides reaching their highest level since 1992.
These aren’t accidents. They are the predictable outcomes of deliberate policy choices made by the Liberal government. And let’s not forget Jagmeet Singh and the NDP, who kept the Liberals in power long after their legitimacy was gone. Singh and his party propped up Trudeau’s minority government, all while securing their own political survival and pensions. Canadians didn’t vote for the Liberal-NDP coalition. It was created in backrooms to protect their shared interests.
Now, we will have a prime minister that nobody voted for. And every day that passes without an election being called is another day Canadians are denied their right to choose. There is no excuse for it. The Liberals can claim stability, but this isn’t stability—it’s control. It’s government by appointment, not democracy. Canadians have the right to decide their future. An election needs to be called now.
It’s also time to take a hard look at how our political system operates. We need serious reform. We need term limits to stop career politicians from clinging to power for decades. We need to rethink how leadership races are run and make sure every legitimate vote is counted. We need independent media that holds every party accountable, not just the ones they don’t like.
And we need to remember how we got here. Liberal policies have hollowed out our economy. They’ve driven away investment and opportunity. They’ve made energy more expensive, housing less affordable, and our cities less safe. They’ve created a Canada that many of us barely recognize.
Carney may be the new face, but it’s the same old party. The same policies. The same ideology. And the same contempt for anyone who disagrees with them.
Canadians deserve better—not just a change of leader but a change of direction. We need a government that respects the will of the people, not one that imposes its will on them. And that starts with calling an election.
Now.
