Since the fix is in for Mark
Carney to take over as captain of the Liberal ship of fools, we must ask who he
is. He has been hanging about Justin Trudeau for quite a while as an advisor
for the last Liberal Budget 2024 and the subsequent updates presented by
Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland.
As a Liberal insider, on
September 9, 2024, Carney was named by Justin Trudeau to chair the Liberal
Party of Canada's Leader's Task Force on Economic Growth. Later, Carney was proposed
as the next Canadian Finance Minister, which caused Finance Minister Freeland to resign.
She was deputy Prime Minister from
2019 and Finance Minister since 2020. She resigned on Monday, December 16,
2024, which caused a media stir. It was a misstep too far for Prime Minister
Trudeau, and in disgrace, he had to announce that he was leaving politics.
Mark Joseph Carney, a 59-year-old
Canadian economist, has a professional background. He served as the eighth
governor of the Bank of Canada from 2008 to 2013 and later as the 120th
governor of the Bank of England from 2013 to 2020.
Carney was born in March 1965 in
Fort Smith, Northwest Territories. When Carney was six, the family moved to
Edmonton. He has three siblings. Carney attended St. Francis Xavier High School
and has a bachelor’s degree from Harvard. He did postgraduate studies at Oxford
UK and obtained Master's and Doctoral degrees. His thesis was ‘The Dynamic
Advantage of Competition’.
His father was the Liberal
candidate for Edmonton South in the 1980 federal election and placed second.
He is a member of the elite ‘Group
of Thirty’, an esteemed international body of financiers and academics, and also
a member of the ‘World Economic Forum’. His global outlook is further evident
in his book, 'Value Building a Better World for All,' published in 2021.
While at Oxford, Carney met his
wife, Diana, a British economist. She is active in environmental causes. They
married in 1994 and have four children. They moved to Ottawa when Carney left
the Bank of England.
Carney speaks passable French. He
holds Canadian, Irish, and British citizenship and is a practicing Catholic.
In October 2023, Carney endorsed
the UK Labour Party, characteristic of his left-leaning orientation. Following
Labour winning the 2024 UK election, Carney was part of that government's task
force to create the British National Wealth Fund.
After much background media maneuvering
emanating from the Prime Minister’s Office, on January 16, 2025, Carney
officially announced that he was running for the Liberal leadership. The
Liberal Party announced that its next Leader would be revealed on March 9,
2025.
Carney is no savior for Canada as
he continues Trudeau's disaster policies. He's an elite technocrat without
experience or empathy for the plight of average Canadians who have suffered
under his financial prescriptions.
Heaven help us all.

Another wolf in sheep clothing, like the attractive Justin who turned out to be a disaster. Canadians must reject the general philosophy of the NDP-Liberals to save Canada.
