I’m willing to give Mark Carney the benefit of the doubt, but everything he’s done so far appears to revolve around rewording what Justin Trudeau already did. The problem with a welfare state—and voters who support it—is that austerity is off the table. Instead, we’re served these endless word salads.
Mark Carney reminds me of Kamala Harris. When he speaks, I have no idea what he’s talking about. He’s forcing people like me to read the legislation, because what he’s doing—or being advised to do—amounts to using manipulative sales tactics during major announcements.
You’ll hear lines like:
- You’re going to make money—potentially.
- This will improve Canada—potentially.
- We may bring energy to new markets outside the United States—potentially.
There’s no certainty with Mark Carney. By contrast, when Donald Trump speaks, he owns the moment. Even Justin Trudeau, for all his flaws, took on the role of a leader. Like him or not, Trudeau owned his failures—even if he deflected blame when his bad ideas failed.
What Mark Carney is doing, right out of the gate, is preparing Canadians for failure. Why? Because Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) policies have already failed elsewhere—and Mark Carney is one of the architects of Net-Zero ESG frameworks.
Let me be clear: I didn’t vote for the Conservatives or the Liberals in the last election. But I will say this—the Conservatives are lucky that Canadians voted for Mark Carney instead. Because based on what I’m hearing, the situation may be worse than imagined, and Mark Carney is already preparing Canadians for an economic downturn.
Flooding Canada with money appears to be the strategy here. And to be fair, the Conservatives might have done the same. But the real issue with Carney is the return on investment.
When you read and listen to what he wants to do, it’s not just that it’s expensive—he’s trying to implement a governance system that has no proven market demand.
ESG governance means the government will subsidize certain ideas or projects—betting that they will eventually have value in the marketplace. The problem? These “carbon capture” ideas will likely never have a self-sustaining market without ongoing government subsidies.
Now factor in the existing entitlements—a bloated Canadian public sector (yes, that’s a form of welfare), some of the best pensions in the country for government employees, cradle-to-grave social programs, and multiple price control mechanisms embedded at the federal, provincial, and municipal levels.
The bottom line? I don’t just see no hope for positive cash flow—I’m already seeing signs that operational costs are going to skyrocket. And that will send the national debt soaring.
I can’t predict how the foreign exchange markets will respond to this, but one thing is certain: the domestic purchasing power of the loonie looks like it’s headed straight for the toilet.
A Deeper Reflection: Canada’s Spiritual and Cultural Drift
Beyond policy, there’s a deeper issue. Canada is a deeply secular country, and with that comes a vacuum of meaning. Many Canadians no longer view Christianity as a cultural or moral anchor. When faith disappears, it doesn’t leave a void—it gets replaced. Some fill it with ideology. Others adopt radical environmentalism, corporate collectivism, or political tribalism.
A nation that forgets the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will always seek a substitute—whether in government, climate policy, or globalism. These new gods demand loyalty, not understanding.
If you’ve placed your hope in politics, expect disappointment. Politicians serve systems, not people. I invite you to consider a different path—one that doesn’t require a title, a tariff, or a taxpayer. Jesus Christ offers love, liberty, and truth. He’s not just a religious figure—He’s the foundation of freedom and true governance.
Before you put faith in another campaign promise, consider the only promise that never fails: the gospel. Real love, purpose, and clarity come from building the Kingdom of God—not from trusting the kingdoms of men.
