The Carney Con: How the Liberals and the Media Are Manufacturing a Comeback That Doesn’t Exist

The Government Is on Autopilot, the Polls Are a Disaster, and the Liberal Establishment Is Scrambling to Hold Onto Power

Good morning, my fellow Canadians.

Let’s take stock of where we are. While Pierre Poilievre is in the treacherous North, standing in the cold, addressing the very real economic threats facing this country, Mark Carney is… well, he’s in a bar in Winnipeg, campaigning to be the next captain of the sinking SS Liberal Dumpster Fire. And why is he able to do that? Because the Liberal government is prorogued. That’s right—your government is on pause so the Liberal elite can decide, behind closed doors, which unelected banker will be handed the keys to power.

Canadians, meanwhile, are deeply anxious about what’s coming. And who can blame them? The cost of living is out of control, our industries are being taxed into oblivion, and the people running this country have now left the cockpit unattended so they can hold a leadership race. In the middle of all this, the media—rather than addressing the absolute disaster this government has created—wants you to believe that Mark Carney is on the rise. That his campaign is “gaining momentum.” That he is “resonating” with voters.

Really? Based on what?

Because if you look at the actual data, the Liberals are polling at 26%—16 points behind the Conservatives, who sit comfortably at 42%. The NDP, meanwhile, has collapsed to 16%—because why would anyone vote for the NDP when they’ve spent years as Trudeau’s doormat?

Yet, according to the media, this is a “competitive” race. The Liberals are surging! The Conservatives are losing steam! Ignore the fact that the CPC has held a consistent lead for over a year. Ignore the fact that the Liberals are polling at historically low levels. Ignore the fact that Canadians have decisively rejected everything the Liberal Party has done for the last nine years.

None of that matters, apparently. Because Mark Carney exists, and we’re all supposed to believe that changes everything.

But don’t take my word for it because I want you to take a look at the rallies of Pierre Poilievre and the other from Mac Carney—because they tell you everything you need to know about where this country is heading. If you ignore the media spin, ignore the carefully crafted “polling narratives,” ignore the Liberal Party talking points, and just look at the crowds, the truth is glaringly obvious.

Pierre Poilievre is leading a movement. Mark Carney is leading a corporate seminar.

Let’s start with Poilievre. When he holds a rally, it looks like a rock concert. Thousands of people pack into the venue, standing-room only, waving signs, chanting his name. They don’t need to be told what to say—they believe in what he’s saying. There’s actual enthusiasm. Real passion. The kind of energy that doesn’t come from political consultants or government payrolls, but from regular, hardworking Canadians who are sick and tired of being lied to, taxed to death, and ignored by the ruling class.

And then there’s Mark Carney. The Liberals’ supposed savior. The golden boy banker they’ve dug up from some Bay Street boardroom and tried to pass off as an “outsider.” And yet, when he speaks? His rallies look like a networking event at an accounting firm. A few dozen people, standing politely, checking their watches, nodding along like they’re being forced to sit through a mandatory HR seminar on carbon neutrality.

There’s no excitement at a Mark Carney rally—because there’s nothing exciting about Mark Carney. He’s not inspiring, he’s not electrifying, he’s not connecting with Canadians in any real way. He’s just another elite bureaucrat, another unelected banker who’s spent his entire career making life more expensive for the people in this country—and now, suddenly, we’re supposed to believe he’s here to “fix” things?

Here’s a basic rule of politics: if you can’t fill a room with real voters, you’re not winning an election.

And yet, the corporate media—the same people who spent years telling you to trust Trudeau, who told you that inflation was “temporary,” who told you that lockdowns were “for your safety”—now want you to believe that Mark Carney is surging. That the Liberals are back. That this is a real race.

It’s a lie.

If Mark Carney were truly a threat to Poilievre, if he were actually connecting with voters, you wouldn’t need a CBC think piece to tell you that—you’d see it in the streets. You’d see it in the crowds, in the energy, in the momentum. And yet, when you look at the images? One rally looks like a revolution. The other looks like a book club meeting at the local Marriott.

But the media wants you to believe that Mark Carney is some kind of political phenomenon, a fresh face ready to take Canada by storm. Come on. The man has never won an election in his life. He’s a Goldman Sachs banker, a UN globalist, and a carbon tax salesman—but suddenly, he’s the working-class hero who’s going to connect with regular Canadians? Sure. And Chrystia Freeland is a master of diplomacy.

Speaking of Chrystia Freeland, let’s not forget the actual war going on inside the Liberal Party right now. The media won’t cover this, but the Liberals are deeply divided. Carney might be the establishment's guy, but Freeland and a handful of other Liberal hopefuls are out there campaigning like their political lives depend on it—because they do.

Freeland isn’t just quietly stepping aside. She wants the leadership. She’s been working towards it for years. She sat at Trudeau’s right hand, played the role of “economic mastermind” (which, let’s be honest, was a complete disaster), and now she’s expected to just gracefully bow out? Not a chance.

So what happens when Carney wins? Every Liberal who wanted Freeland is going to feel betrayed. It’s a repeat of 2006 all over again, when Paul Martin’s Liberals imploded from within. Carney will inherit a fractured, bitter party, and guess what? He isn’t even different from Trudeau.

Seriously, what’s the difference? Carney is just Trudeau with a deeper voice and a better resumé. Actually, scratch that—maybe he’s the original Trudeau. He’s been selling carbon taxes and globalist policies since before Trudeau could even grow a beard. And what do his rallies look like? Well, have you ever been to a corporate training seminar? You know, where someone in a suit gives a PowerPoint presentation about synergy and people nod politely while checking their watches? That’s a Mark Carney rally.

Seriously, who is excited about this guy? No one. His supporters don’t even look like they want to be there. They’re consultants, government employees, donors—the exact people who need the Liberals to stay in power so they can keep collecting their sweet taxpayer-funded paychecks. The media wants you to believe that the Conservatives are losing steam, that Mark Carney is surging, that this is a real race. It’s not. If it were, Carney wouldn’t need glowing think pieces from CBC and puff interviews from the Toronto Star—he’d have actual people showing up for him.

But he doesn’t. Because nobody wants another Trudeau. And that’s exactly what he is. If anything, he’s the original Trudeau—a carbon tax-obsessed, Davos-loving banker who’s spent his career making life worse for you while lecturing you about the economy from 30,000 feet.

So let’s be honest here. The Liberals can’t win on enthusiasm—because no one outside of a Bay Street cocktail party is actually excited about Mark Carney. They can’t win on momentum—because their poll numbers are circling the drain, no matter how many glowing CBC puff pieces they pump out. And they sure as hell can’t win on policies—because everything they touch turns to debt, inflation, and economic decay.

So what’s their plan? Find an excuse to delay the election. Engineer a crisis. Manufacture some scandal, some “threat to democracy,” some urgent reason why handing power to an unelected banker is actually for your own good. They have to do this—because if Canadians actually get the chance to vote, it’s game over.

And deep down, they know it. You can see it in the desperate media narratives, the forced enthusiasm at Carney’s events, the absolute panic in Liberal circles as they scramble to keep the ship from sinking. Because they can pretend for only so long.

But here’s the thing about pretending—it never works forever. Eventually, reality smashes through the front door. And when it does, Canadians won’t be choosing Mark Carney. They won’t be rewarding the same failed policies, the same corrupt elites, the same smug, disconnected technocrats who have been bleeding this country dry for nearly a decade.

No, when reality hits, they’re choosing common sense.
