MARK CARNEY IS THE LEADER CANADA NEEDS RIGHT NOW. 🇨🇦
You hate Mark Carney because he leads the Liberal Party? But be honest with yourselves. This man is nothing like any liberal we have seen, and that is precisely why so many Canadians who once voted Conservative have put their faith in him.
Mark Carney is a centrist, a world-class economist, a seasoned international leader, and a Canadian who understands how the global economy actually works. He didn't spend his career chasing political popularity. He spent decades working at the highest levels of international finance, central banking, and economic policy.
Stephen Harper's Conservative government appointed Carney not once but twice. This was a man whose competence and credentials earned recognition well beyond party lines.
So when Conservatives mouth off about Carney, ask yourselves why his expertise was trusted at the highest levels of economic leadership long before he ever entered federal politics.
His résumé speaks for itself. Harvard University. A doctorate in economics from Oxford. Thirteen years at Goldman Sachs, working in international financial centres. Governor of the Bank of Canada through the 2008 global financial crisis. Governor of the Bank of England through Brexit and years of economic uncertainty. Chair of the Financial Stability Board. United Nations Special Envoy on Climate Action and Finance.
These aren't credentials handed out by a political party. These are decades of experience at the centre of the institutions shaping the global economy.
And now that experience is been brought home to Canada.
Look at what he has been doing.
🇨🇦CUTTING TAXES. Carney eliminated the federal consumer carbon tax and cut income taxes for 22 million Canadians. His government also removed the GST on qualifying new homes priced up to $1 million for first-time homebuyers.
🇨🇦 BUILDING CANADA. He passed the One Canadian Economy Act to tackle internal trade barriers and launched Build Canada Homes. His government established the Major Projects Office to accelerate nation-building projects representing more than $130 billion in proposed investment.
🇨🇦 INVESTING IN COMMUNITIES. More than $50 billion was committed through the Build Communities Strong Fund for infrastructure such as hospitals, water systems, transit, and community facilities.
🇨🇦 FIXING WHAT WASN'T WORKING. His government reversed course on the proposed capital gains tax increase, changed its approach to electric vehicle mandates, and reduced temporary resident admissions to bring immigration more in line with Canada's capacity.
🇨🇦 STRENGTHENING OUR MILITARY. Canada reached NATO's defence spending target, increased military pay, and committed to a much larger long-term defence effort. Our sovereignty, Arctic security, and defence industry are getting serious attention.
🇨🇦 OPENING NEW MARKETS. Carney is working to diversify Canadian trade, attract foreign investment, and reduce our dangerous dependence on the United States. His government has pursued new partnerships across continents, negotiated trade arrangements, and worked to expand opportunities for Canadian farmers, manufacturers, energy producers, and businesses.
🇨🇦 PUTTING CANADA ON THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE. The Prime Minister is using relationships built over decades in global finance and diplomacy to bring Canada into important economic and security discussions. He understands the people, institutions, risks, and opportunities that shape the world economy because he has spent much of his life working within it.
And there is more: stronger recruitment and pay for our Armed Forces, investment in housing, new trade agreements, major energy and transportation projects, and legislation addressing public safety and online sexualized deepfakes.
Are there challenges ahead? Absolutely. Does every policy deserve unquestioning support? Of course not. But pretending this government has done nothing is simply ridiculous.
@rustyrockets What is up with pathetic rapist "Christians" spreading pro Russian propaganda these days. Oh yeah, the bot farms are down so now they need human garbage producers.
@BarkBarker3 Trump has been a Russian asset since the 1990s. When he was elected the second time, Russian state TV hosts congratulated him while showing a nude photo of Melania in the background. That's gangster speak for "remember, we own you". The evidence is clear.
@WhiteHouse The Kremlin owns the White House. Trump has been a Putin asset for decades. You're not getting anything "back". You're FINALLY showing your cards.
@MichelleT5460@cafreeland@realDonaldTrump You dumbass. The Globe and Mail is not "woke" - not even remotely. Canada survives because the Conservatives have not been in power.
My god, the sheer ignorance of some people...
