Article contentLEADERSHIP LACKING

Former U.K. PM Liz Truss tried to warn Canadians not to elect Mark Carney, saying he would destroy Canada’s economy as he had England’s when he was governor of the Bank of England.

It has also been suggested he will say anything, depending on his audience.

We have proof of this with Carney claiming the trading relationship with the U.S. was severed. Then, recently, he went to New York to plead for a new one. And, having called China the greatest security threat to Canada during the leadership debate, Carney has now flip-flopped, saying he wants to do more trade with it.

Under Carney, Canada has zero new major trade deals and foreign investments continue to go elsewhere.

The prime minister enjoys giving speeches, but, when it comes to providing the leadership voters thought he would deliver, he is proving to be seriously wanting.

THE TIPPING POINT

So where and when is the breaking point of the Canadian taxpayer when it comes to the Indigenous takeover of just about every aspect of Canada?

I, myself, being long in the tooth and short in patience, passed the tipping point quite some time ago.

Regardless of previous injustices and poor treatment, current and future generations cannot be expected to pay reparations forever and all-time.

The latest statement from First Nations that they should be at the table for all foreign affairs negotiations is beyond the pale.
