He makes some good points.

Carney confirmed this week that his party will not repeal Bill C-69 if his party forms the next government. Pipelines would greatly benefit all Canadians but he's not interested in building them.

"A federal election is fast approaching – and it will be the most consequential of our lifetime.

We are currently facing the prospect of completely unjustified tariffs from the United States, which threaten our livelihoods and our independence.

We face these threats at a time when Canada should be the wealthiest and most self-reliant economy in the world. We have the resources, the talent, and the opportunity to lead. Yet under the Liberals, we have fallen behind, way behind.

We have the third largest oil reserves in the world, yet we import 179 million barrels of foreign oil every year because the Liberals shut down our wealth-generating pipelines – while leaving us reliant on the United States.

We are the 5th largest supplier of natural gas, but we still can’t export LNG because the Liberals claim there is 'no business case.'

We have more farmland per capita than almost any country, yet food prices have risen 37% faster than in the U.S. because of the Liberals’ carbon tax on farmers and truckers.

Instead of tapping into our potential, the Liberals under Justin Trudeau, with the advice of Mark Carney, have doubled the debt, doubled housing costs, and doubled food bank lineups. They’ve blocked Canadian energy while making us reliant on foreign oil, raised taxes on hard-working Canadians, and driven half a trillion dollars in investment out of our country.

And now, Mark Carney wants us to believe that his “experience” is the solution. But what is that ‘experience’?

Carney’s experience is NOT the day-to-day management of Canada’s economy during the global financial crisis. I have listened, with increasing disbelief, to Mark Carney’s attempts to take credit for things he had little or nothing to do with back then. He has been doing this at the expense of the late Jim Flaherty, among the greatest Finance Ministers in Canada’s history, who sadly is not here to defend his record. But let me be very clear: the hard calls during the 2008-2009 global financial crisis were made by Jim.

Yet the real reason Carney wants to claim our Conservative record for himself is that he dare not speak of his actual ‘experience’ as the Liberals’ principal advisor. Carbon taxes. Blocking pipelines. Big deficits. Huge increases in the money supply. The ‘Century Initiative’ on immigration that aimed to rapidly increase Canada’s population to 100M. Carney has advocated for every one of these bad ideas.

So, the choice is indeed about ‘experience’ – Mark Carney’s experience in being wrong on all the big issues – versus Pierre Poilievre’s experience in being right on those same things. That’s why Pierre Poilievre, not Mark Carney, needs to be Canada’s prime minister.

Make no mistake, Mark Carney is just like Justin. He has the same high tax high spend agenda; he was and is the biggest supporter of the carbon tax; and if Mark Carney’s Liberal elitists win the election, regular Canadians will lose once again.

Pierre Poilievre helped my government cut taxes and cut down on crime. Pierre supported Canadian energy. And he was the first parliamentarian to raise the alarm that the Trudeau government’s spending would cause inflation.

Pierre Poilievre has a plan to reverse this decline and put Canada First."

Talk about feeling like the walls are crumbling in all around you, eh?

Not really. Carney's already adopted many of Poilievre's policies, so he should be great for Canada, right? Sorry, but I don't trust him to govern differently than Trudeau. We could've been in much better shape but many Liberal policies of the last 10 years have negatively affected Canadians. Trudeau's extremely low support and his resignation is evidence of that.

All of these policy discussions are of secondary importance in this election.
The only thing that matters is to elect a government that is ideologically opposed to the one in the United States to prevent Canada from going down the same slippery slope.
We can quibble over policy later.
Which is why it is important to elect the Liberal government again.
The CPC is now home to the Canadian MAGA and we shouldn't elect those people into power.

What a croc of BS....Canada has to pivot to being able to be economically self sufficient period.

Canada has the resources and it's time to use them.

The ideology you espouse will never accomplish this.

I don't disagree that Canada should use its resources.
But the pivot we want to prevent today is the pivot towards Nazism and authoritarianism that America seems to have accomplished.
That is primary.
Even if Carney does not do anything about the pipelines we can deal with it 4 years later.
Ask Pierre to wait 4 years so a Liberal government can see us through the Trump administration.

Stop with Nazi BS...Go watch some footage of the brutal carnage and death they created..This isn't even close to what is happening in America...You have crazy programming issues going on if you believe that.

Carney can pretend to be someone he is not but the reality is that he's a NetZero century initiative enthusiast and that will drive Canada into the ground.

Harper is IDU.

You really think that's the answer?

I think you need to take your own advice and go watch what the Nazis did.
Dont go watch the obvious WW2 footage.
That was much later.
Go watch their history from the 20s and early 30s.
Particularly pay attention to the rhetoric they used, their policy positions, how they came to power, how they drummed up support amongst the German populace etc.,
You will see the Trump administration has the very same parallels.
And then there is this below. Enough said.
