The new Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, is a would-be destroyer of civilization, according to the Canadian writer David Solway.
Here’s part of his explanation:
The MAGA/Republican leadership and its loyal supporters enjoy a visionary lien on a productive and unfettered future, but nearly half the citizenry and its political representatives are firmly embedded in the dark ages of political evolution. The former are, for the most part, sane, intelligent and fundamentally decent; the latter are effectively brain-dead, which is to say, short-sighted, naïve and, frankly, incapable of reasoned judgment. And like their leaders, they are often prone to violence in word or deed. One might say that America is basically two countries, or rather, a cleanly bifurcate nation. In the MAGA wing, both leadership and electorate are vital; in the Democrat wing, leadership and electorate are reciprocally brain-dead.
Canada generally is far more unified in its dereliction than the U.S. It furnishes a unique example in which both an intellectually vacuous political cadre and a comatose electorate operate in approximately sibling tandem to pulverize the economy, enact oppressive articles of legislation, and plunge a once free and prosperous country into a debt-ridden, unproductive, ESG-indentured third world crater.
The dominant political clade and the overwhelmingly left-voting electorate are twin aspects of the same moral and intellectual depravity. The politicians are brain-dead because they believe social and economic ruin is a planetary advantage. The people are brain-dead—at any rate, at least two-thirds or more of the voting public—since they are in general agreement with their betters and are just too stupid or indifferent to do their homework.
The issue has come to a head with the accession of globalist banker and Net-Zero fanatic Mark Carney to the prime minister’s office, and the alarming possibility that the Liberal Party, which enjoyed three successive terms in which to devastate the country, is poised to win yet a fourth to complete the job. Carney, who is far more crackerjack and dangerous than his hapless puppet Justin Trudeau, is just the man to make it happen.
Canadians don’t seem to care that Carney is an unrepentant globalist, a member of an oligarchic class that has “been contriving to create a dystopian future through fearmongering, misinformation, unscientific data, and manipulation". Climate change must be fought, goes the mantra, even if it means the de-industrialization and impoverishment of the market-dominated economy.
The Carneyesque project entails measures such as the six-year UN/WEF plan to reduce -
• Annual meat consumption from 16kg of meat to zero
• Annual dairy/milk from 90kg of milk to zero
• Number of clothing purchase/per person/per year from 8 items and then down to 3 items
• Car ownership from 190 vehicles per 1000 people down to zero vehicles
That is the future that Carney is planning for Canada, which must reduce its comparatively miniscule emissions to zero even at the expense of its prosperity and possibly of its survival as a viable country.
Obviously, the likelihood of planetary salvation is pitched too far into the future to provide a scintilla of evidence for the validity of the policy. But if the world were to be saved tomorrow according to Carney’s intention, Canada will have ceased to exist. The problem is that Canada’s sacrifice on the altar of Gaia would yield no demonstrable result.
Canada is one of those countries in which the majority of the electorate and the greater part of the political estate are equally brain-dead, which is why its future has become entirely problematic. It was different once, but Canada has changed.
Barring the unforeseen, it is now a place where the mind goes to die.
