Carney would use 'emergency powers' to 'take on the Americans'
“He was talking about all these green projects we need to insulate us from the Americans,” Sheila explained. “He thought it was the most clever thing he ever said — he said 'use,' but it would be an abuse — to use the emergencies powers of the federal government to push forward these green energy projects.”
With trade tensions brewing between Canada and the United States, the front-runner to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he would invoke emergency powers to “accelerate” projects needed to strengthen the economy “and take on the Americans.”
Mark Carney, the former governor of the banks of Canada and England, made the comments during a campaign stop in Kelowna, British Columbia earlier this week.
On Thursday's Rebel Roundup livestream, Sheila Gunn Reid and Tamara Ugolini gave their thoughts on the spectre of Carney invoking emergency powers just days before the three-year anniversary of the Trudeau Liberals invoking the Emergencies Act against anti-vaccine mandate Freedom Convoy protesters.
“He was talking about all these green projects we need to insulate us from the Americans,” Sheila explained. “He thought it was the most clever thing he ever said — he said 'use' but it would be an 'abuse' — to use the emergencies powers of the federal government to push forward these green energy projects.”
“Enjoy your carbon lockdowns everyone, where you'll stay home and you'll be happy,” remarked Tamara, comparing the incident to Trudeau's infamous comments about admiring China's basic dictatorship.
“You're going to give people the hammer of a totalitarian regime by utilizing emergency powers to push forward your ideological goals and your ideological agenda. It's China's basic dictatorship 2.0.”

Bernhard Jatzezck commented 2025-02-14 23:57:04 -0500Earlier today, I went shopping for groceries. I chatted with a number of people at the store and I was the only one who looked favourably upon the suggestion of Canada or, at least, parts of it becoming part of the USA. Never mind that Trudeau chased away more than $600 billion (billion!!!) dollars in investment in our oil and gas industry. Forget that we are the 22nd province of China in all but name.
Nope. The real gripe is that Trump is a bad guy. Never mind that the Americans have a Constitution that works and is worth something. Forget that the tax burden will likely be less. I guess Harper’s recent comments about impoverishing this country if it meant remaining Canada is a widespread sentiment rather than a practical consideration. -
Bruce Atchison commented 2025-02-14 19:42:08 -0500Do we want a repeat of the COVID19 emergency where people were segregated and punished for non compliance? But Carney will use extraordinary actions to fight Trump. How delusional he is. Like an elephant, Trump never forgets. Perhaps he’ll do like what Reagan did to Granada in 1983.
