Carney is a political and moral nihilist and evidently a narcissist.He burns Canada to the ground while personally profiting enormously.
Just for fun I grok’d my position on Carney and came up
With this:
“Exploitation: Narcissists often adopt the rhetoric of political nihilism (like wanting to "tear down the system") not out of genuine ideological belief, but because it provides a platform to validate their superiority and accumulate unchecked power.The "Need for Chaos": Research indicates that both high narcissism and political nihilism correlate strongly with a psychological desire to see social and political structures destroyed. The narcissist gains a power rush, and the political nihilist achieves their goal of delegitimizing societal norms.Cult of Personality: Narcissistic leaders often weaponize nihilistic cynicism, pitting voters against each other by devaluing objective truth, which leaves citizens feeling hopeless and further fuels the nihilistic cycle.”
But I struggle with Canadian politics. My MP is/was Jamil Jivani. He earned my vote. Various focus groups he initiates that I havd atttended ,show his connection to my community.
He is real.
Previous MP O Toole lives up to his name and to this days strokes his ego playing in the carney enclave.
I think the Conservative shadow cabinet is truly worthwhile.
Perhaps not as good as Trumps cabinet but surely worthy.
Carneys cabinets is filled with losers and deceivers. A disgrace.
Gosh I long for the days of working with America and Americans for fun and profit. Life was so good back then.
Apologies. I use Lilley’s commentaries to retain my sanity.
Yeah, you’re wrong. I think you have the wrong leader that is burning his country to the ground. That would be the “dear leader” who just established a tax payer paid US$ 1.776 billion slush fund to compensate insurrectionists who tried to overrun the US Capital building on Trump’s urging after losing a valid election and has now settled with the IRS (or is it coerced?) his lawsuit where the IRS agrees to never again audit Trump, his family or his related companies for, I assume, perpetuity. And you call Carney a moral nihilist. That is about as far off the mark as one could get.
Well Kevin I have to respond. It’s Tuesday,and you certainly fit into the category of “Carney supporting liberals”.
It’s not worth debating the Jan 6 capitol event and Canadas freedom Convoy. Different but similar. Clearly you agree with the (incredibly corrupted ) chief justice of Canada that the Freedom Convoy “took the law into their own hands “ and “took the citizens of Ottawa hostage”.
No one lives on Wellington St. in Ottawa.
The right of folks to protest in Canada appears to be, Kevin, restricted to Islamic jihadists and antisemites.
And you continue to stoke nascent Canadian bigotry by pointing to President Trump.
Ask Paul Anka how it was as a kid growing up in Ottawa. Or his relatives, who lived on my street in Ottawa. Ugly .
The liberals have successfully augured this nascent bigotry into a “ majority “ government crushing Canadians and plundering the exchequer leaving nothing for your grandkids.
Millions of immigrants and overstayed visas remain unverified, making a bad situation worse.
And you point fingers at Trump? Carney thanks you. You got scammed.
Without a trade deal Canadas auto industry is collapsing.
Carney doesn’t care. Europe is the future. Your property will no longer be yours. Poverty next.
News alert, John, is that Trump wants to destroy the Canadian auto industry. What kind of deal do you expect to get from this US administration on that? Delusional if you think it will be of any benefit to Canada. Sure you can protest in Canada, but do it safely and don’t threaten or disrupt the lives of other people. But what exactly were they protesting? Vaccinations and masking? Measures that saved lives from Covid. Oh, but these authoritarian measures trod upon our rights? Give me a break, next you’ll be telling me that all vaccines are fake and that polio and measles are merely creations of the leftist globalist elites. And don’t lecture me on Trump - anyone with eyes and a functioning brain can see the destruction, corruption and open bigotry and discrimination going on right now in the US. Anyone comparing that to anything the Carney government is doing is either a Russian bot, an American Trump stooge or just lacking any ability to think critically.
...most of us are much too engaged in what Carney's Cartel is doing to US up here...maybe, Kevin, might wanna stop binge watching CNN and CBC...just sayin'..
I don’t watch CNN or CBC. What a stereotypical comment. Of course what Trump does impacts what happens in Canada. Are you not even paying attention to what is happening in the world? You think Canada is existing in a vacuum? Getting that orange criminal out of office is the first step in restoring normalcy in the world. At least Carney is taking steps to reduce the impact to Canada.
I just reread your comment Kevin about Covid and the shots saving lives. There’s no hope for people like you if you actually still believe that after everything that’s been debunked. Enjoy life
I thought I’d better break it to you that the auto industry in Ontario had already collapsed long before Trump. If it wasn’t for taxpayers subsidies the big 3 would have left long ago. The only reason they stay is they keep being given our money to get them to stay otherwise they would,d not be profitable! You know that thing that’s a case for business? Oshawa for example employed 20,000 but that was 25 years ago. Now it’s 2000. Once again, long before Trump. You people need to grow up and stop blaming Trump who has very little to do with our economy.
I’d like to remind you and everyone else that Trump asked for two things or there would be tarriffs. Shut down the drug labs and secure the borders none of which has been done.
All of the current western leaders are former investment bankers or economists-except Starmer.
IMO they're trying to take us to neo-fascism because there's no way out of the debt we are in, a lot of it added by their subprime mortgage financial fraud and our bail-out of it. They'll answer for their part (no small part) of the fraud, so authoritarianism it is. Just look at Trump go. He's on a tear, but Carney is worse.
Carney left Goldman Sachs in 2004 to join the Canadian Dept of Finance to loot the treasury.
Hank Paulson left Goldman Sachs in 2006 to join US Dept of finance to loot the treasury.
Mario Draghi left Goldman Sachs in 2005 to become Italian Central Bank governor beginning 2006 to loot the treasury.
They ALL knew Goldman Sachs & other investment banks were lending $ fraudulently--to people with no ability to pay back. They knew the mortgages were being hidden inside other investment products & sold to unsuspecting investors around the world. They knew the 2008 financial meltdown was coming & they inserted themselves into government to "save the banks." Canadian banks didn't need saving, with the exception of CIBC. Carney gave our tax $ away anyway. A bonanza for the banks & long term, nation destroying debt for us.
They and many others are guilty of crimes they've never had to answer for, and NOW they are trying to smash democracy to COVER their crimes. According to Catherine Austin Fitts the US has been looted of about $49 TRILLION.
When there is a revolving door between government & the banks, this is what we get.
Throughout the fuzzy Justin T reign we shook our heads saying “ WHAAAAT?” We cannot afford another ten years of stupefyingly stupidity of Liberal government. SOS CANADA
I genuinely care for this country so much and am slowly giving up on all of this. You can only expend so much energy on things you have no control over. It is very depressing and at some point you just want to make sure your family is looked after. I fear for the future.
Yes, we have been up in arms about ALTO for 4 months now. If it goes thru and takes the southern route, our cottage, our cousins' farm, the cemeteries where our ancestors are buried, the rich unesco heritage sites of the frontenac biosphere and the rideau canal, will all be toast. The local businesses, access to medical care, and schools, ambulances, all completely disrupted. I've been sick about it. But now, i give up. Canadians are completely deluded. What will be, will be. Ottawa does not care about Canadians. The horse-trampling of that elderly woman during the trucker protests should have been the true wake-up call. It was criminal, but also a harbinger metaphor for the future.
I echo your comment Tracy. Other than not voting liberal, what can we do. Very disheartening. I fear for the future of this country and future generations.
Could it actually be that Carney wants to alienate the Americans to the point they turn their back on us, and then, of course, Trump will get blamed while Carney cozies up to the EU. Carney seems to want to figure out a way for Canada to join the EU. This is so fool-hearty and will only benefit the elite in Canada.
Agreed, there should be a limit to how long politicians can serve, otherwise you get people who make a life long career out of it, elected in their 20s and never leave. And eliminate government provided housing for everyone but the PM.
The applause Carney received for his anti-Trump speech in Davos was likely incredibly gratifying for him. I suspect he sees himself as hero to European leadership for his willingness to sacrifice his country's interests in order to "stand up" to the Americans. A close trading relationship with the U.S will complicate his net-zero ambitions as the Americans no longer burden their economy with that.
Why be on a Joint Board of Defense with the USA, who shares the longest undefended border in the world with us on the wealthiest resource rich continent on the planet supporting the largest economy, when you can make security agreements with a murderous Communist regime from another continent with nothing in common at all not even a shared, common language.
First off. We are not screwing up the relationship with the US it is the fing Liberals and NDP !!!!
Second. For all the people that have TDS and vote for a socialist shithole don’t start crying when you’re out of work and broke because all the investment has left this country!!!
I'm taking a page from JD Vance: "Brian, do you hear yourself?"
Reread what you said above about Eldridge Colby. I listened to you and Tracy as long as i could. You are both so anti-Trump that you cannot see beyond that. and really, someone who lives in Virginia and covers DC does not exactly have her finger on the pulse of the average American. I will cite 2 examples: what did Americans think of Doug Ford's ad? Well, they think he is an utter buffoon. What is Ford doing that is positive for Ontario? and is there hostility in Canada towards USA? The tariff issue brought to the surface, and "made legitimate", Canadian hostility towards America that has always simmered below the surface of Canadians needing to appear nice. One of my American friends noted to me at least 20 years ago: "i had no idea how much Canadians hated USA until i read Margaret Atwood. Yep...this hostility is not new. Since this tariff thing, i have a number of Canadian friends and family who have literally stopped communication with us. As if Trump returns my calls. When we were in Canada last year we had retailers who berated us loudly. Again, as if the average American can influence trade talks. Carney says he has cards to hold. If he has cards, go down to DC and hammer out a deal. Don't keep saying that Trump keeps changing his mind. Get a deal and get on with making Canada great again. Who is suffering here? Canadians. Ask the folks down in Windsor. Nope, he meets with Obama and Soros..why do you think he did that? Carney was installed to destroy the country and he is working hard on it. John Powell says it better than i could have. A perspective from the heartland, not the beltway.
So when the Liberals bolster their political aspirations by dragging their feet, are playing games with make believe alternatives to the American market…. And the middle power renaissance fizzles… Who the hell will they blame when the shit hits the fan….
Canada will need every dollar of the $130/mt of carbon taxes just for unemployment benefits… absurd !!!!!

Am I wrong?
Why do I think Trump is different ?
America first.
Crude, rude but says exactly what he is thinking.
But I struggle with Canadian politics. My MP is/was Jamil Jivani. He earned my vote. Various focus groups he initiates that I havd atttended ,show his connection to my community.

Apologies. I use Lilley’s commentaries to retain my sanity.
That Conservative shadow cabinet is worthwhile, with 74 members it brings many skills to the table.
And everybody thinks Trump is the only narcissist in this drama. Not by a long shot.
🎯
Sounds pretty accurate..does it mention anything about their average life span??..
lol good one ! You be sending me back to grok , you scoundrel!

Kevin, you should go back to the CBC as you have been seriously manipulated by the media.
Destroy the country; increase govt control: the PM’s dream; WEF Guinea pig.
YEs.
If Carney's intention were to hand Canada over to the Chinese, what would he be doing differently?
Well he would let in more than 19000 EVs at a 6.1% tariff rate and wouldn’t worry about getting canola farmers access to China.

yes
Joke: What do we call people who don't really work and rely on government handouts?
Answer: Politicians
Agreed, there should be a limit to how long politicians can serve, otherwise you get people who make a life long career out of it, elected in their 20s and never leave. And eliminate government provided housing for everyone but the PM.

The USA is zero dollars away in shipping costs.
So is nowhere else on the planet.
Geddit?
Right on Brian .., Wake up Liberals
Liberals plan going exactly as expected
The bunch of those politicians should be in prison. Frozen bank accounts, hold the horses for now!
How do we wake up their supporters..
Why be on a Joint Board of Defense with the USA, who shares the longest undefended border in the world with us on the wealthiest resource rich continent on the planet supporting the largest economy, when you can make security agreements with a murderous Communist regime from another continent with nothing in common at all not even a shared, common language.
You can't serve two masters.
