To wit:
And Carney, who was an economic advisor to Trudeau, penned a piece in the Globe and Mail in which he called those donating to the cause participating in “incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority” and “anyone sending money to the Convoy should be in no doubt: you are funding sedition.”
This was from a guy who just made trade, sovereignty and security agreements with the same communist China that not long ago held two innocent Canadians in prison and also was deemed to have interfered with Canada’s democracy.

According to the Investigative Journalism Foundation, Prime Minister Mark Carney's investment portfolio comprises 567 entities, with only three being Canadian firms.
Ethics Commissioner filings, spanning 16 pages, detailed extensive stock holdings, predominantly blue-chip American firms, including oil, railway, retail, credit card, airline, and pharmaceutical companies, according to Blacklock’s.
Among his stocks, 91% are in U.S.-headquartered companies.
Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered a striking speech at the World Economic Forum in which he exhorted countries to band together and speak out against bullies and “hegemons” but didn’t call out any by name.
Prime Minister Mark Carney did not misspeak in Beijing. He chose his words carefully, and therein lies a severe problem.
When a Canadian prime minister praises the idea of a “new world order” while sitting in China, he is not engaging in neutral diplomacy. He is endorsing language that carries an extremely specific meaning in Beijing and an unmistakable warning signal in Washington. For a country whose security and prosperity depend on solidarity with the United States, with whom it has had a historically challenging relationship, Carney’s comments carry significant risk, if not real damage.
In Chinese strategic doctrine, a “new world order” is not about reforming globalization. Its real objective is displacing U.S. power, weakening Western alliances, and replacing liberal norms with a hierarchical system built on state control and non-interference that shields authoritarian rule. Beijing enforces this model at home through mass surveillance, censorship, arbitrary detention, and the repression of Uyghurs, Tibetans, Christians, Falun Gong practitioners, and pro-democracy voices in Hong Kong. Abroad, it destabilizes the Indo-Pacific region through military pressure on Taiwan, coercion of Japan and the Philippines, border aggression against India, and the militarization of the South China Sea in defiance of international law.
Globally, it projects power through diaspora intimidation, economic coercion, cyber operations and political interference, weaponizing capital and supply chains. Simply put, this is a hegemonic state pursuing its interests at the expense of others, including Canada. When Canadian leaders adopt this framing, they legitimize Beijing’s core narrative as Washington views global competition entering a decisive phase.
