Mark Carney

[Thiel]

Mr Carney has made it official. There will be no markets for Canadian energy. He announced the emissions cap and the anti-pipeline Bill C-69 will remain. He formalized it by admitting in Quebec no interprovincial pipeline through that province.

My Jo Jo's silly dream about new markets in Europe is over. So too will be Mr Carney's honeymoon with Canadian voters.

So, Prime Minister Mark Carney won't repeal the federal Liberals' Impact Assessment Act (IAA) if they are re-elected. That means two things: Carney's not serious about diversifying Canada's economy and making Canada less dependent on the U.S.

And Carney's pledge "to build one strong Canadian economy" is bogus. His vision of a unified national economy clearly doesn't include Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Mark Carney's Soviet Union housing plan is laughable.

Mark Conman will not do any which means we are dependent on the US market.

Get ready for buyer's remorse on carbon taxes if Mark Carney and the Liberals win the April 28 election.

This editorial is from Postmedia.

The reason is the uncritical media reporting of Carney's so-called plan to kill the consumer carbon tax and replace it with a better system.

What he's actually doing is a classic "bait and switch" manoeuvre — promising Canadians a less costly, more efficient carbon tax regime during the election, the unspoken part being that he will replace it with a more costly, less transparent system after April 28.

It' s similar to what the Justin Trudeau Liberals did during the 2019 election, saying before the vote that they would freeze their carbon tax, which started at $20 per tonne of industrial greenhouse gas emissions in 2019, then reached $50 per tonne in 2020,

After the election, Trudeau announced the Liberals would increase the carbon tax by $15 per tonne every year after 2020, until it reached $170 per tonne in 2030.

Even Carney didn't claim he was scrapping carbon taxes — details to come — when he announced his new plan while running for the Liberal leadership.

What the media backgrounder on what Carney planned to do actually said was:
"Mark Carney presents plan for change on consumer carbon tax."

Changing something isn't killing it.

Carney said to applause, "My government will immediately remove the consumer carbon tax, but we won't stop there."

What little we know of Carney's plan — details to come — is that far from killing the consumer carbon tax, he will fold it into what he describes as an "improved and tightened" — translation, more costly and less transparent — industrial carbon tax known as the Output Based Pricing System (OBPS).

Carney says the Liberals will also develop a new "carbon credit market" within the OBPS, while extending its operation from 2030 to 2035.

This new system, Carney claims, will both reward consumers for making energy efficient choices (replacing carbon tax rebates) and provide price certainty to big polluters facing increased costs which Carney simultaneously claims they won't pass along to consumers in higher prices.

Simply put, this is bafflegab.

Carney also intends to create a "Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism" — a deceptive term that really means that a Liberal government will impose tariffs on foreign goods imported into Canada from countries that don't have carbon taxes.

That will result in higher consumer prices for Canadians purchasing those goods — a tariff which, in Carney's world using Donald Trump's logic, will somehow magically lower the cost of living for all of us.

Carney is suspending all campaign events after it was discovered he has money in a second tax haven. The one is in the Cayman Islands. The first one is in Bermuda.

This latest scandal comes on the heels that the Chinese government is interfering in our election to get Mark Carney elected.

Mark Conman Carney has banning convicted criminals from owning firearms as a policy plank. We have always done that.
Mark Carney doesn't know anything about our country.
