Critics of Donald Trump have taken to calling him TACO Trump. As in, Trump Always Chickens Out. For Democrats with little else to cheer them the TACO swipe is welcome.

Which leads us to Canada’s new prime minister Mark Carney, currently chasing TACO Trump for a new deal on tariffs after his mindless proposal to support a Palestinian state by September. He’s a rich source for acronyms. There’s CRAP. Carney Runs Around Parliament. Then there’s CREE. Carney Really Endorses Europe. And CRIB. Carney Rarely Is Believable.

None of these matter to his True Believers like Mississauga (720 k population) mayor Caroline Parrish who took a voyage to the end of her mind, saying Trump’s tariffs are the perfect excuse to start our own Potemkin economy, ignoring America while selling fertilizer to the Philippines.

We have good friends who somehow see Carney as the leveller of the public mood. Blogger Jonathan Kay explains the attraction. “There’s a whole essay to be written (not by me) about how much Carney has benefitted from being the staid follow-up act to Trudeau‘s blackface Bhangra genderwang clown show. Most of us just wanted a normal well-adjusted person running the country. And we now have that.”

Right. Such is the Elbows Up trance in Canada that few have any idea of Carney’s true agenda, because it’s not what his paid wordsmiths in the media are pitching. For them it’s all fighting Trump, all the time. (Aided by his Robin, Doug Ford.) But here are three major policies we will talk about five years from now, saying “Wha’ happened?”

Actually we may not be able to say that, because the good folks since the EU and Great Britain have implemented a policy of Online Harms legislation. This legislation allows government to determine hurt caused by critical comment online. The cover story is it’s to scout out racial and gender hate in social media.

The real story is that it’s a license for governments and intelligence agencies to criminalize speech that criticizes them or their wacky policies about men being women etc. It has the added benefit of creating a snitch culture, much like Covid did for vaccine deniers. Already Britain is imprisoning people for criticizing the immigration policy of the nation while EU countries are employing it against those who oppose radical gender surgery for pre-pubescent children.

Carney, who spent years in Europe polishing the apple of its elites, is keen on taking up public censorship where Justin Trudeau left off with Bill C-63. Under the benign heading of public safety he will extend the grants to private broadcasters and publishers so long as they call everything in America MAGA racist tyranny.

BTW: The American Left loves this disinformation bureau stuff, too. Democrats are planning to spend tens of millions of dollars to spin narratives on social media as part of a $110.5 million fundraising effort. Because their policies are repellent they’ll simply drown out the alternative.

The second stealth operation will be extending the deals BC’s native tribes have weasled out of premier David Eby and his predecessors. These will extend the veto on developments of crown lands across the country. Some early results show BC native bands shutting popular tourism and recreation sites for their own use— without challenge from the BC Legislature. Already major international corporations such as Enbridge and TC Energy are diverting investment in anticipation that any deal they do with Canada will have the threat of indigenous leaders calling the shots.

What might this look like? For example, five of the ten projects negotiated by the province for development a year later have not been approved by the BC Utilities Commission, because they are being challenged by indigenous entities in BC. It is reported that it was only Justin Trudeau proroguing Parliament that prevented him from advancing results like BC’s. Imagine this bureaucratic logjam extended across the nation.

Anyone thinking that Carney will be a firm voice for Canada versus indigenous radicals need only look at how the Liberals politicized the “graves of murdered Rez children” and yet now refuse to admit the Justin Trudeau genocide claim was bogus. He’s silent as those speaking the truth are persecuted, because he’s afraid to cross the chiefs and his base.

Third Carney pet project is the continued stubborn defence of Net Zero climate hysteria just as the rest of the world is backing off. It should be a warning to Canada when it’s just you and Bill Nye the Pseudo-science guy left carrying Al Gore’s apocalypse narrative. Carney and his cultists still cling to the notion that current alternate sources of energy will suffice. They are only ones believing the risible notion that Canada can convert the nation’s automobile fleet into EVs by 2035

Already there are shortages. Currently 20-25 percent of BC’s energy is imported. Quebec, which is so proud of its hydro power, is also importing energy. Vast amounts of energy are clearly needed for Carney’s heralded data future for Canada. What happens when demand for power for projected data centres forces those power sources selling to Canada to keep their energy at home for their own needs?

So while espousing independent energy production Carney will simultaneously be doubling down on shutting oil fields and pipelines. Speaking of pipelines, Carney tells the West he will be gung-ho on making Canada an energy superpower in the future.  but he’s still rigid with fear of upsetting his base that thinks fossil fuels are evil. In short,  no pipelines. The only fuel he’s creating is fuel for separation in the West.

As energy blogger Dan McTeague writes, “… staying the NetZero course will leave you and your offspring with NetZero financially/”

These are just three of many stealth Carney initiatives that will scuttle Canada. There is also gender, defence and drug trafficking. All of them have a central theme. The Liberals can’t cop to the financial and cultural deficit left behind by Trudeau’s decade. So as Carney’s Utopia collapses look for them to blame their critics for the mess. And, if allowed, incarcerate them for trying to break the hold on Canada’s voters by paid media.

Because CISS. Carney Is Seriously Screwed.
