DON'T BE FOOLED: Mark Carney backs the carbon tax

Don’t be fooled by his polished rhetoric or strategic, opportunistic rebranding. Carney is a true believer in carbon taxes and green policies that undermine Canada’s economy and sovereignty.

Mark Carney, the Liberal Party's poster child for globalist policies and green zealotry, officially launched his campaign right here in Alberta. But unofficially, he had a soft launch before Americans in a scripted, yet cringey interview with Jon Stewart. 

Visit MeetTheLiberals.ca to learn more about Carney and his Liberal insider friends as they vie to replace Justin Trudeau as party leader, and become the shortest-lived Prime Minister in Canadian history.

Now, the rumour mill is buzzing that Carney might abandon the consumer carbon tax if he takes the reins from Trudeau. It sounds like a desperate move, doesn’t it?

The Liberals are desperate to jettison their wildly unpopular flagship policy of taxing anything and everything. They roped Canadians into their 'climate change' Ponzi scheme no longer. 

But don’t let the sudden Liberal 'come-to-Jesus' moment fool you. In fact, Carney’s entire career was built on advocating for carbon pricing schemes that reward his elite friends on our dime.

So who is Mark Carney? Born in Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, Carney is a Canadian economist and banker. He spent 13 years at Goldman Sachs, holding senior positions in London, Tokyo, New York, and Toronto.

In 2003, he joined the Bank of Canada as a deputy governor, and by 2008, he became its Governor. In 2013, Carney made history as the first non-Briton to serve as Governor of the Bank of England until 2020. He then served as the UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance, working to de-bank and de-insure energy projects.

In 2020, he joined Brookfield Asset Management to enforce ESG policies, with proposed access to Canadians pensions to green those investments too. Let's not forget, he was a prominent Trudeau advisor on COVID and the economy.

Does that sound like someone is now ready to abandon the carbon tax? The Green ESG guy from the UN? Rather than instituting wholesale change, Carney's likely just cooking up a rebrand to keep the Liberals in power.

In a 2021 interview, Carney celebrated Canada’s carbon tax as the “first best policy” and lamented that the U.S. hadn’t adopted something similar. He’s repeatedly said carbon taxes aren’t high enough, stating that prices need to soar to $80 or even $100 a tonne to meet his net-zero fantasies.

Also in 2021, he explicitly said, “Everyone should try to have a price on carbon…[our goal is] to get the coverage of a carbon price up to about two-thirds of global emissions by the end of this decade.” 

Carney has even praised Trudeau’s carbon tax for its “certainty” and called it a “success” because it supposedly shifts costs while reimbursing Canadians.

The central banker rarely speaks plainly about the impact of his policies. He prefers long, rambling answers filled with academic jargon to hide the simple truth: he wants to make your gas, groceries, and heating bills more expensive.

Carney’s carbon tax obsession is just another tool to push a green agenda that hurts working-class Canadians while rewarding well-connected elites. Carney has even advocated a ban on gas and diesel vehicles. 

Seems like so many of Trudeau's bad ideas came directly from his trusted advisor. No matter what he says—whether it’s scrapping the consumer carbon tax or promising a mythical “better” plan—it’s all smoke and mirrors.

Don’t be fooled by his polished rhetoric or strategic, opportunistic rebranding. Carney is a true believer in carbon taxes and green policies that undermine Canada’s economy and sovereignty.

Carney’s track record speaks for itself. He's a climate zealot. But he can afford it. You can't.

Carney’s leadership would be a continuation—or even an escalation—of Trudeau’s disastrous policies.

Mark Carney is an out-of-touch elitist pushing a costly international green agenda on the backs of hardworking Canadians. Remember that as the Liberals parade him around as their next saviour. Don’t buy into the charade.

    Should Carney get a shot at the PM office, Canadians will have a real decision to make. Assuming of course we actually have an election and our Governor General doesn’t find reason to postpone such an event. Carney has real plans to revolutionize society. He has written a book on the subject. One with a lot more meat than was forthcoming from the various writings about the life and times of Justin Trudeau. His revolutionary concepts may work dandy for Carney and his elitist post nation state multiple passported buddies but the rank and file may find living in a bankrupt dictatorship challenging.

    The Liberal Party had us elect a World Economic Forum puppet, Trudeau, now they want us to elect the puppetier, Carney.

    Con man Carney will doubtless axe that tax but put in another under a different name. Remember that Liberals are pragmatic. They use whatever works to fool citizens into voting for them and supporting their brain-dead policies.
