60 h. ago Lorne Gunter: Carney Liberals capitalize on older voters' fear of change, disruption

With just two weeks to go before federal election day, this appears to have become a campaign between the past and the future. The Liberals represent the past. They appear likely to win because voters 55 and older will vote disproportionately for Mark Carney and his party. This week’s debates may be a turning point […]

3 d. ago Lorne Gunter: Carney pauses Liberal campaign to avoid tough questions

On Thursday, Liberal Leader Mark Carney announced he was pausing his campaign for the third time so he could deal with the Trump trade tariffs. But Trump’s tariffs are the campaign. Without the chaos created by the deranged trade policies of the Madman of Washington, the Libs would still be a distant second in voter […]

4 d. ago Lorne Gunter: Voters' faith in Grits for resource development is staggeringly foolish

Of course, I’ve noticed the huge crowds Pierre Poilievre has been attracting to his rallies. They are the biggest campaign rallies for any Canadian politician in more than 50 years. Perhaps ironically, the only rallies as large or larger were those held by Pierre Trudeau’s in the late 1960s and early ‘70s. The big difference […]

5 d. ago Lorne Gunter: Carney Libs could never deliver on policies stolen from Conservatives

Mark Carney is stealing Conservative campaign promises, which isn’t by itself a bad thing because theirs are better than his. Lower taxes, less government spending and fewer bureaucrats, more affordable housing, quicker approval of major projects, better national defence, pipelines east and west; all of those are commendable. (The only Conservative policy missing is lower […]

1 week ago Lorne Gunter: Smith needs to let Alberta's collective outrage set the autonomy agenda

According to calculations by Vancouver’s Fraser Institute, between 2007 and 2022 Alberta and Albertans sent $245 billion more to the federal government than the federal government sent back to this province in the form of pensions and social payments, unemployment benefits, research grants, health care contributions, affordable housing construction and so on. Some of that […]

1 week ago Lorne Gunter: Carney can't deliver strong economy with anti oil and gas stance

So, Prime Minister Mark Carney won’t repeal the federal Liberals’ Impact Assessment Act (IAA) if they are re-elected. That means two things: Carney’s not serious about diversifying Canada’s economy and making Canada less dependent on the U.S. And Carney’s pledge “to build one strong Canadian economy” is bogus. His vision of a unified national economy […]

If allegations of plagiarism against Prime Minister Mark Carney, as reported Friday by the National Post, turn out to be true, they would be more part of a pattern of behaviour by the new Liberal leader than an out-of-character anomaly. In his 1995 thesis at Oxford University, Carney seems to have lifted quotes from others’ […]
