On paper, candidate Mark Carney appeared to be the most authoritarian Prime Minister in Canadian history. And based on recent remarks from current Canadian Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault, it seems Canadians should brace for a version of leadership even more extreme than that of Justin Trudeau.
Canadian Culture Minister Steven Guilbeault said Wednesday, May 14, 2025 “Canada needs to maximize its use of existing pipelines before building more”
“So I think before we start talking about building an entire new pipeline, maybe we should maximize the use of existing infrastructure,” Guilbeault told reporters.
“And, the Canadian Energy Regulator, as well as the International Energy Agency, are telling us that probably by 2028-2029, demand for oil will peak globally, and it will also peak in Canada.”
During the election campaign, Mark Carney stated publicly that he would uphold the emissions cap. However, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith revealed that Carney took a noticeably different tone in a private meeting with her around the same time.
This wouldn’t be the first time Carney has contradicted himself. He made several misleading or outright false statements during the campaign, suggesting that dishonesty comes easily to him. His first major leadership test will likely come as early as next week, when Canada Post is expected to strike—a move that will directly harm Canada’s small and medium-sized businesses. This disruption comes at a critical time, as the United States under Donald Trump has no incentive to lift existing tariffs on Canadian goods.
It’s important to remember that tariffs have traditionally been a Democratic policy tool. So even if Canadians are banking on Trump being a temporary obstacle, they may be overlooking the bigger picture: Democrats will be aggressively pursuing union votes in 2028. That means U.S. labor unions—focused on protecting American jobs—will likely push for the continuation of Trump-era tariffs.
Additionally, American farmers, who enjoy far more flexibility than their heavily regulated Canadian counterparts, are eager to expand into the Canadian market. Meanwhile, Canada’s own farmers remain restricted by a rigid, supply-managed system.
If Mark Carney follows through on his platform—centered around a strict net-zero agenda, increased regulation, and higher taxes—Canada could be headed for serious economic trouble. The country is already burdened with extensive regulations and price controls, and layering on more could further erode our global competitiveness.
Consider giving your life to Christ today, there is a significant decline in Christianity in Canada. A 2021 census showed that over 19.3 million Canadians reported a Christian religion, representing just over half (53.3%) of the population. This is a drop from 67.3% in 2011, which would explain voting patterns.
Abandoning Christ comes with consequences, the concept of GOD exists because even Atheist’s look for guidance from something or someone, and if you’re following Christ, history is quite clear on what happens. Consider giving your life to Christ today.
