They’re trying to sell us on Mark Carney. Again.
A man of the world, they say. A sharp suit. A global resume. A “grown-up in the room.”
But let’s strip away the PR fluff and take a closer look.
Mark Carney—the man who’s supposed to fix Canada—is the same guy who seems to think you can run a country like a charity drive with no receipts. A finance whiz who apparently skipped the chapter on basic budgeting.
If Carney really knows money, why is he championing policies that hand out billions before checking the books? A businessperson with even a shred of common sense would tell you: You don’t spend what you don’t have. You don’t give it away either—not unless you’ve balanced the books and counted the cost. Otherwise, you’re just setting fire to your financial future.
Yet here we are, watching elites praise Carney as if he’s some kind of economic messiah. The same talking heads who cheered reckless spending, open wallets, and blank cheques during crises now want to hand him the keys to the country. Why? Because he “knows the world”?
Knowing the world isn’t the same as knowing how to govern one. Especially not when your answer to everything is to spend more without asking where it’s coming from—or where it’s going.
There’s something darker here too. The way he’s being propped up feels eerily coordinated. Like he’s not just a choice—but the chosen one. A man with deep ties to global banking institutions, praised by the same people who never seem to pay the price when the economy crashes.
So here’s the real question we should all be asking:
If Mark Carney doesn’t believe in budgeting before spending, what does he really believe in?
And if he’s the best they’ve got… what does that say about the rest?
