Justin's Replacement

Do remember that Justin has NOT resigned and swore that he would never be moved.

Someone has made the decision for him and before one can say: "DeStalinization!", Justin finds the press he bribed has made him a retroactive object of contempt and that his replacement is a boon to the country.

This replacement:

Important Message for all Canadians!

Yes, Mark Carney can be PM without a seat or single vote, and in an emergency, stay PM till September 2026.

How?

With Mark Carney clearly making moves for the Liberal Party leadership, already securing 30 MPs, and talking with media, and is clearly a strong frontrunner, many Canadians are about to receive a huge surprise and shock.

It is a common misconception that the Prime Minister of Canada must be a Member of Parliament. Not true. The PM is appointed, not elected, to the position by the Governor General.

Mark Carney can win the Liberal Party leadership and be appointed to the role of PM.

Canada has done this once before. The 17th Prime Minister John Turner in 1984. He left politics a decade earlier and returned to succeed Pierre Trudeau as leader of the Liberal Party and was then appointed PM by the Governor General without holding a seat in the HoC.

I have attached some information if you don’t know anything about John Turner. He was PM for a few months in 1984.

Is history about to repeat itself? A Trudeau resigns, and Canada gets a non-elected Prime Minister?

I think that is exactly what is about to happen.

I predict the 24th Prime Minister will be unelected, Mark Carney.

Also, did you know that constitutionally, in Canada, terms can be up to 5 years? Making the next forced election date September 20, 2026.

The next question is, how are they going to stall the election? Clearly, the Liberal Party will want some rebound time to clean the Trudeau stink before the next election.

Well, there really are only two ways to stall the next election in Canada

1) Avoiding a Confidence Loss. So, make a deal with NDP or Bloc.

or

2) Delaying the Election in an Emergency. This includes economic emergencies, such as a US President threatening “economic force” and imposing harmful tariffs against Canada.

We could be stuck with the Liberals for another 20 months under non-elected PM Carney.

I do pray I’m wrong about this.

 

Read that again.

An unelected individual can be appointed as prime minister, even if he doesn't live here half of the time, and stop an election.

How is this country a democratic one?

In his book Value(s): Building a Better World for All, Mark Carney, former governor both of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, claims that western society is morally rotten, and that it has been corrupted by capitalism, which has brought about a “climate emergency” that threatens life on earth. This, he claims, requires rigid controls on personal freedom, industry and corporate funding. ...

Since the advent of the COVID pandemic, Carney has been front and centre in the promotion of a political agenda known as the “Great Reset,” or the “Green New Deal,” or “Building Back Better.” All are predicated on the claim that COVID, and its disruption of the global economy, provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity not just to regulate climate, but to frame a more fair, more diverse, more inclusive, more safe and more woke world.

Carney draws inspiration from, among others, Marx, Engels and Lenin, but the agenda he promotes differs from Marxism in two key respects. First, the private sector is not to be expropriated but made a “partner” in reshaping the economy and society. Second, it does not make a promise to make the lives of ordinary people better, but worse. Carney’s Brave New World will be one of severely constrained choice, less flying, less meat, more inconvenience and more poverty: “Assets will be stranded, used gasoline powered cars will be unsaleable, inefficient properties will be unrentable,” he promises.

But don’t be fooled. Likeable as Mr. Carney presents, he will also be every bit as bad for Canadians in general and Albertans in particular, as Mr. Trudeau ever was.

(Sidebar: not that likeable, apparently.)

Three things on that.

1)    For the last four years, Mark Carney did his best to mentor Justin Trudeau. He has been a senior adviser to the Trudeau Liberals off and on since COVID.

So he either has to claim that he gave them good advice that for four years they kept asking for, he kept giving and they kept ignoring... or he has to defend the Liberal borrowing that raised interest rates, sparked inflation and doubled the national debt between 2020 and 2024.

And now, he also has to wear an unforeseen $60 billion deficit. He is not hands off with this government.

2)    Neither is he an ‘outsider’ as he told Jon Stewart on the Daily Show. Nor, as he claimed in Edmonton yesterday, is he ‘regular people.’

He is a complete insider, whose Rolodex includes the great and the good from around the world, from the World Economic Forum, the Bilderberger Group, the G-30, the list goes on and according to the London Daily Mail, he dines with Prince Andrew.

3)    Most important for the attention of Western Canada, Carney has been a vigorous and loud proponent of fighting climate change by disinvestment in the oil and gas industry. The Western oil and gas industry, that would be. He said nothing about it at his campaign launch, and Edmonton would have been a bad place to mention it, but that is a hundred percent of what Carney is all about.

A speech he made while Governor of the Bank of England to Lloyds of London, is instructive. In it he tells Lloyds 'names' the that 'the weight of scientific evidence and the dynamics of the financial system suggest that, in the fullness of time, climate change will threaten financial resilience and longer-term prosperity. While there is still time to act, the window of opportunity is finite and shrinking.'

And so, he has been on the road for years peddling the self-fulfilling prophecy that investors should back out of oil and gas because one day, nobody’s going to want it.

He is a true believer. Everything the Trudeau Liberals have done to cripple the Western energy industry, from cancelling pipelines, chasing out energy investment, the clean fuel strategy, emission caps and so forth, is consistent with his own worldview.

With Trudeau planning to resign, his closest advisers Gerald Butts and Katie Telford are moving on to another celebrity in Mark Carney. The former Bank of Canada and Bank of England governor unofficially kicked off his Liberal leadership campaign with a superficially smooth but oddly uncomfortable Monday night appearance on The Daily Show, followed by an official launch Thursday in Edmonton.

When Carney is ignoring Canadian networks and touring any country but Canada, he is staging awkward photoshoots in his home and native land. Whether skating on the Rideau Canal or forcing himself to hold a can of beer in an Oilers jersey, he resembles an ambassador trying to fit in with the locals.

It is difficult to escape the sense that Carney is far more comfortable literally rubbing shoulders with London’s A-listers like former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, actor Jude Law and Ghislaine Maxwell, partner of Jeffery Epstein, before she was convicted as a child sex trafficker. Carney’s campaign, it should be noted, has denied being friends with Maxwell.

Shaking hands with one or two of Epstein’s friends and former clients is simply one of the drags of being a modern celebrity. Is anyone really going to turn down a handshake from Bill Gates?

The real scandal is Carney’s career-long fondness for deepening western ties with China.

China has not hesitated to kidnap our citizens and will likely be ready to invade Taiwan by the end of the decade. The Liberal leadership frontrunner’s last known meeting with Xi Jinping took place last spring, just months before he became an adviser to the Liberal Party of Canada and was floated as a replacement for Trudeau. ...

But at least Carney's pet project is done ... for now:

Four of Canada's biggest lenders said on Friday they were withdrawing from a global banking sector climate coalition, joining six major U.S. banks.

The departures from the Net-Zero Banking Alliance began with Goldman Sachs' announcement on Dec. 6 and come ahead of Donald Trump's return to the White House next week. Trump has been critical of efforts by governments to prescribe climate-change policies.

The four Canadian banks are TD Bank, Bank of Montreal, National Bank of Canada and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC).

The other big U.S. banks that have withdrawn are Wells Fargo, Citi, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan.

The Net-Zero Banking Alliance, a UN-sponsored initiative set up by former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney, was launched in 2021 to encourage financial institutions to limit the effects of climate change and push toward achieving net-zero emissions.
