Carney’s Fiscal Fantasy: When the Economist Becomes More Dangerous Than the Drama Teacher
From Yakk Stack

Advanced Polling in effect, lineups at the polls longer than ever witnessed in Canadian History, it’s only Today that Mark Carney and the Liberals have unleashed the furry of their Economic Pathway for Canadians…
No Balanced Budget until 2045?
AYFKM?
This is literally worse than imagining that the Budget will Balance Itself!
And…
From an Economist?
I mean…
By now, Canadians are used to watching Liberal leaders toss around billions as if Monopoly money flows from the Peace Tower. But Mark Carney, the supposed “grown-up in the room,” has just shattered any illusion that he’s the responsible one at the table.
In the latest Liberal platform rollout, Carney promised nearly $130 billion in new measures over four years — a move that, when combined with existing spending plans, adds a jaw-dropping $225 billion to Canada’s already ballooning federal debt. This isn’t just imprudent — it’s economic malpractice.
And let’s not forget, this isn’t coming from a part-time drama teacher. This is Mark Carney — the former Governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England. A man who, on paper, should understand that debt and deficits aren’t abstract theories, but real burdens passed on to future generations. Yet here he is, throwing fiscal caution to the wind with more reckless abandon than Justin Trudeau ever managed with his “sunny ways.”
A Dangerous Dose of Delusion
Carney called this platform “prudent with people’s hard-earned tax dollars” — as if adding a quarter-trillion dollars to the national debt is the new definition of restraint.
One of the marquee pledges? A 1% cut to the lowest federal tax bracket, dropping it from 15% to 14%. While that sounds like a modest win for working Canadians, the real cost is anything but: $22 billion over four years — paid for with borrowed money. It’s a shiny giveaway wrapped in fiscal irresponsibility.
On the defense front, the Liberals now want to increase military spending by $18 billion, finally waking up to global threats after years of neglect. This includes everything from raises and housing for CAF members to long-overdue modernization and recruitment reforms — noble goals, no doubt, but late and politically motivated. The Liberals have ignored defense for a decade, but now that NATO is watching and war is trending, they’re throwing money at the problem and hoping no one notices the hypocrisy.
Worse Than Trudeau?
Let’s be clear: Justin Trudeau’s time in office saw deficits explode, services falter, and fiscal anchors snapped like twigs. But Trudeau never claimed to be an economist. Carney does — and that makes this all the more damning.
This is not the cool-headed central banker Canadians were promised. This is a politician trying to outspend Trudeau in an election year, cloaking vote-buying in economic jargon and calling it “vision.”
The Bottom Line
Carney’s plan is not a blueprint for prosperity — it’s a roadmap to fiscal ruin. If Trudeau was the wide-eyed idealist who believed budgets balanced themselves, Carney is the cold, calculated number-cruncher who knows they don’t… and spends anyway.
Canada doesn’t need another “visionary” with a blank cheque. It needs leadership with a grip on reality — and a respect for taxpayers that goes beyond pandering soundbites.
Because if this is what “responsible” leadership looks like, we’re in deeper trouble than we thought.

Liberals edge closer to majority as judicial recount flips another Ontario seat
From LifeSiteNews
The Liberal Party is two seats away from a majority government after a recount flipped an Ontario riding in its favor, marking the second riding to switch to the Liberals post-election.
The chances of a Liberal Party majority government are increasing after another judicial recount flipped a riding.
On May 16, a judicial recount switched the southern Ontario riding of Milton East-Halton Hills South to a Liberal victory with a 21-vote difference between the Liberal and Conservative parties.
“Just before midnight, an official recount confirmed the outcome of the race in our riding of Milton East-Halton Hills South,” Liberal Kristina Tesser Derksen celebrated on X.
“It is a profound honour to be elected as your MP,” she continued.
On election night in April, the riding had been called for the Conservative Party, which previously took the riding with a narrow lead. However, a judicial recount is automatically ordered when the top two candidates are separated by less than 0.1 percent of the valid votes cast.
According to election laws, the ballots must be recounted in the presence of a provincial or territorial Superior Court judge.
The riding is the second to flip in the Liberal’s favour after post-election recounts. Earlier this month, the Quebec riding of Terrebonne flipped to the Liberals, beating the Bloc Québécois by one vote.
There are two remaining judicial recounts in Canada. One is the Newfoundland and Labrador riding of Terra Nova-The Peninsulas, where the Liberal candidate won by 12 votes.
The second is the Ontario riding of Windsor-Tecumseh-Lakeshore, where the Conservative candidate won by 77 votes.
Currently, the Liberal Party, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, holds 170 seats in Parliament, two away from a majority government. The Conservatives hold 143 seats, the Bloc Québécois 22, the NDP seven and the Green Party one.
Under Carney, the Liberals are expected to continue much of what they did under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, including the party’s zealous push in favor of euthanasia, radical gender ideology, internet regulation and so-called “climate change” policies. Indeed, Carney, like Trudeau, seems to have extensive ties to both China and the globalist World Economic Forum, connections that were brought up routinely by conservatives in the lead-up to the election.

Judicial recounts could hand Mark Carney’s Liberals a near-majority government
From LifeSiteNews
Three official federal recounts are underway in ridings and the Liberal Party could gain one more seat, leaving it just one short of establishing a majority government.
Three judicial recounts are underway in Canadian federal ridings from the April 28 federal election, the outcomes of which could mean Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals possibly securing a majority government if he gets help from the New Democratic Party.
A recent recount in the Quebec riding of Terrebonne saw the Liberals win by one vote over the Bloc Québécois, the closest election call since 1963.
There is a recount underway in the Terra Nova-The Peninsulas riding in Newfoundland and Labrador that the Liberals won by just 12 votes on election night.
In another riding, in Milton East-Halton Hills South, Ontario, a recount is taking place after the Liberals won by only 29 votes.
In the riding of Windsor-Tecumseh-Lakeshore, Ontario, a recount is occurring after the Conservatives won the riding by 77 votes.
Should the Liberals manage to hold onto and flip another riding in their favor, they would be ever closer to forming a majority government.
Carney was elected Prime Minister after his party won a minority government. Carney beat out Conservative rival Pierre Poilievre, who lost his seat. The Conservatives managed to pick up over 20 new seats, however, and Poilievre has vowed to stay on as party leader for now before running in a by-election.
As reported by LifeSiteNews, the interim leader of Canada’s far-left New Democratic Party (NDP) has claimed the Liberal Party is contacting its MPs to find out whether they want to cross the floor to help secure a majority government under Carney.
The Liberals have 170 seats, just two shy of a majority. The NDP has seven seats, which is 12 short of official party status. Former NDP leader Jagmeet Singh resigned after losing his seat in the April election.
Under Carney, the Liberals are expected to continue much of what they did under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, including the party’s zealous push in favor of abortion, euthanasia, radical gender ideology, internet regulation, and so-called “climate change” policies.
