Mark Carney, now serving as Prime Minister, continues to push an aggressive ESG agenda—complete with carbon taxes, regulatory overreach, and what many view as corporate welfare for ESG-compliant companies. These initiatives are funded by Canadian taxpayers and are often sold as climate solutions. In reality, they function as market distortions, diverting capital toward politically favored sectors while squeezing out the small businesses that can’t afford to keep up. Carney’s focus appears singular—net-zero emissions at all costs. But as more Canadians struggle with rising prices and fewer choices, it’s clear that this vision of sustainability comes with a steep cost: economic stagnation and loss of sovereignty in private markets.
