Former WEF insider accuses Mark Carney of using fear tactics to usher globalism into Canada
From LifeSiteNews
Former WEF member Desiree Fixler is warning Canadians that Mark Carney is using fear to manipulate citizens to gain power and that his ideas will destroy the economy.
World Economic Forum banker turned whistleblower Desiree Fixler is warning that Mark Carney is using fear tactics to gain control over Canada and usher in globalism.
In an April 12 interview with Canadian YouTuber Jasmin Laine, Fixler – who served as a member of the WEF’s Global Future Council on Responsible Investing – warned that Carney seeks to send Canada down a path of totalitarianism and economic decline.
‘Fear wins votes’
In the interview, Fixler said that Carney’s tactic involves amplifying or fear-mongering manufactured crises, like the claim that “there is a climate catastrophe,” not because he wants to safeguard citizens, but because he wants to “win some votes” and expand his globalist vision.
Similarly, she argued that Carney uses potentially real crises, like the Canada-U.S. trade war, to explain the economic decline in Canada. This shift the blame from the Liberal policies of the past ten years to U.S. President Donald Trump and allows Carney to not just avoid responsibility for policies he supported being destructive, but also to position himself as the solution to the problem.
“The government has a lot of control in the media and so a message is being put out that there is this climate catastrophe and then lo and behold Mark Carney is there to say… ‘I can save everything,’” Fixler warned.
Carney is not working for Canadians
Since his appearance on the political stage, many have pointed out that Carney’s extensive work for the UN and WEF have made him more of a global player than an advocate for Canada, particularly regarding his advocacy for net-zero emissions.
At the same time, Carney argues that his globalist portfolio will benefit Canadians. Fixler, however, warned that Carney’s radical climate policies will send Canada down the same declining path as other European countries.
“You just look at the U.K., you just look at Germany, and you can see in particular Germany is likely going on its third year of a shrinking economy largely because of net zero,” Fixler explained, referring to the globalist policy of pursuing “net zero” carbon emissions.
Despite Canada’s vast natural resources, Carney has made it clear that, if elected, he will maintain the goal of eventually reaching “net zero.” Fixler also noted that Carney spearheads the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) which effectively “bullies the world into adopting net zero.”
While Carney has claimed that Canada will become an energy “powerhouse” thanks to a transition to clean energy, Fixler warned that “there is no way you’re going to do that if you have net zero.”
“If you’re aligned to net zero, if you have a ban on further fossil fuel drilling right, and further pipelines, there is no way,” Fixler said. “You’re going down one path, and that’s the path of unaffordable energy and that is a path of a shrinking economy.”
Fixler further argued that Carney is not only misleading Canadians but deliberately lying about the effects of a net-zero emissions scheme. She questioned how Canada’s economy could grow when the Liberals’ Bill C-69 is restricting the production of pipelines to carry Canadian oil and gas.
“These are national assets,” she said. “The people of Canada own it, and the people of Canada should decide whether or not they want access to affordable energy, and they want to grow their economy.”
Fixler referred to Carney’s scheme as “authoritarian government theft,” warning it will send Canada down the same economic decline as Europe.
“Europe and the UK is definitely moving in the wrong direction, and I firmly believe that Mark Carney will do the same for Canada,” she emphasized. “Not only will he further economic policies that shrink the economy, but he will move again to silence dissent and increase censorship.”
Fixler, who was herself a member of the WEF, revealed that globalists are indifferent to how their policies affect the common person.
As evidence for this, Fixler recalled a situation in which she brought up the increasing cost of living at a WEF meeting, which resulted in “someone firing right back at me and saying like, ‘Desiree, why do you care? You can afford that.’”
Fixler said that for Canada to stave off Carney’s vision, citizens just need to “revert back to common sense” and call out what is “dumb.”

Official party status requires 12 seats. The NDP got seven. End of story
Rules are rules.
That, in a nutshell, is why the NDP wasn’t granted official party status in the House of Commons on Monday. Prime Minister Mark Carney and the
Liberals, to their credit, made the right decision.
Let’s examine why.
The 1963 Senate and House of Commons Act passed an amendment that gave an annual allowance to party leaders other than the prime minister and
leader of the Opposition. In doing so, the Canadian government had to establish what constitutes a “political party.” The definition they came up with was a sensible one: it had to have a “recognized membership of 12 or more persons in the House of Commons.”
This important amendment is still used today.
The NDP fell from 24 to a paltry seven seats in last month’s federal election. (There are a total of 343 seats in the House of Commons.) They finished with 1,234,673 votes, or 6.29 per cent, which was behind the Liberals, Conservatives and Bloc Québécois. Party leader Jagmeet Singh, who had represented the former Burnaby South riding since 2019, finished a distant third in the newly created Burnaby Central riding and resigned.
The NDP’s seven seats is well below the 12-seat requirement needed for official party status. This means Canada’s socialist alternative won’t be able to ask questions in the House of Commons and will lose out on money for research purposes.
Or, to put it another way, they’re plumb out of luck.
Hold on, some people said. They pointed out that the NDP’s seat count and popular vote only plummeted because many progressive voters backed Carney and the Liberals as the best option to counter U.S. President Donald Trump and his tariffs. They felt that the NDP’s long history as a champion for unions and the working class should count for something. They suggested there should be an exception to the rule.
Guess what? They’re wrong.
This is the worst election result in the party’s history. Even its predecessor, the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), did marginally better in its first campaign. The CCF won seven out of 245 seats—and earned 410,125 votes, or 9.31 per cent—in the 1935 election. Party leader J.S. Woodsworth, who had represented the riding of Winnipeg North Centre as an Independent Labour MP since 1925, comfortably held his seat.
Meanwhile, this won’t be the first time they’ve ever lost official party status.
The NDP dropped from 43 to nine seats in the 1993 election. It was a dismal showing, to say the least. There was a suggestion at the time that then-party leader Audrey McLaughlin, the first woman to lead a party with political representation in Canada’s House of Commons, deserved a better fate. While the NDP certainly came closer to achieving the 12-seat requirement in this particular election, Prime Minister Jean Chrétien and the Liberals decided against granting them official party status.
Why? As I mentioned earlier, rules are rules.
Then again, British pilot Harry Day notably told his fellow flying ace Douglas Bader in 1931, “You know my views about some regulations—they’re written for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men.”
Does this mean that individuals and organizations who follow rules are, in fact, fools? Not at all. While certain rules in a liberal democratic society can range from slightly questionable to utterly ridiculous, they’re usually put in place for a specific purpose.
In the case of the House of Commons, it’s to ensure that a bar has been set with respect to political representation. Is 12 seats the right number? That’s difficult to say. It certainly prevents small protest parties and one-issue parties that unexpectedly win a tiny number of seats in an election from acquiring power and status right off the bat. They need to win more seats and grow in size and stature to reach a point of respectability. Most of them never reach this point and disappear while others float in a constant state of mediocrity like the Green Party of Canada. ’Tis the nature of the political beast.
One final point. If Singh and the NDP had reached double digits in total number of seats in 2025, a solid case could have been made in favour of official party status. If they had finished with 11 seats, it would have almost been a lock. Neither scenario ultimately materialized, which is why Carney and the Liberals did exactly what they did.

2025 Federal Election
Judicial recounts give Conservatives 2 more seats, keeping Liberals short of majority
From LifeSiteNews
After a judicial recount, Conservative candidate Kathy Borrelli has officially won over Liberal incumbent Irek Kusmierczyk, in the Ontario riding of Windsor-Tecumseh-Lakeshore.
Judicial recounts from the 2025 federal election have given the Conservative Party two new seats, with one candidate winning by just four votes.
After a judicial recount, Conservative candidate Kathy Borrelli has officially won over Liberal incumbent Irek Kusmierczyk, in the Ontario riding of Windsor-Tecumseh-Lakeshore.
Borrelli got 32,090 votes, with Kusmierczyk getting 32,086 votes, and NDP candidate Alex Ilijoski getting 4,240 votes.
In the Newfoundland riding of Terra Nova-The Peninsulas, Conservative candidate Jonathan Rowe beat out Liberal Anthony Germain by just 12 votes after a recount with the initial result showing a Liberal victory.
The new election results mean the Conservatives now have 144 seats with the Liberals at 169, three short of a majority.
Judicial recounts are automatically triggered when the margin of victory for a candidate is less than 0.1 percent of valid votes.
While these recounts have favored the Conservatives, others have gone in the Liberal Party’s favor.
A May 16 judicial recount switched the southern Ontario riding of Milton East-Halton Hills South to the Liberals with a 21-vote victory over the Conservatives.
Overall, the election results have been a big blow to the Conservative Party, which on top of losing the election also saw its leader, Pierre Poilievre, fail to win his long-held seat. However, Poilievre is expected to run in a yet-to-be-announced by-election in Alberta to reclaim a seat in Parliament.
