Well, it looks like our neighbors to the north have decided to hit themselves in the face with a frying pan, just to see how it feels. Again.
On Tuesday, Canada went to the polls with a chance to course-correct after nearly a decade of big-government blunders, censorship masquerading as compassion, and more carbon taxes than common sense. The smart money was on Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, a guy who actually believes in things like working for a living and not strangling your energy sector. But instead, Canadians looked at the cliff they were already tumbling toward and said, “Faster, please!” Enter Mark Carney—Canada’s new prime minister and progressive wrecking ball in a navy suit.
And no, this wasn’t just a narrow win. This was a full-throated roar from a country that apparently wants to out-California California. Carney, who couldn’t have made his agenda clearer if he’d written “I ♥ Globalism” on a billboard, has promised to double down on everything that’s been hollowing out the Canadian economy and soul. He’s not hiding it. He’s bragging about it.
This is a guy who wants to punish Canadian companies for contributing to so-called “climate change.” Punish them. That’s the word he used. Because nothing screams “economic genius” like kneecapping your own industries in favor of ideological fantasies that don’t power lights or heat homes.
But sure, let’s keep Trudeau’s energy cap. Who needs energy anyway? Certainly not the tens of thousands of Canadians poised to lose their jobs in the energy sector by 2032. And those crushing carbon taxes? Staying. Gas-powered vehicles? Going. Because nothing says progress like mandating electric cars in a country where winter tries to kill you six months out of the year. But hey, at least the snow will be diverse and equitable, right?
Speaking of which, Carney’s budget proposal isn’t a budget so much as a bonfire. Over $130 billion in spending, because who cares about debt when you can fund diversity seminars and pride flag rebranding campaigns?
Forget infrastructure. Forget productivity. Carney’s got acronyms to invent. And yes, the “2SLGBTQI+” masterpiece is still alive and well. If you don’t know what all those letters mean, that’s okay—neither does the government, but they’ll tax you to pay for a program about it anyway.
Let’s also not gloss over the cultural side of this disaster. The same government that wants to control what energy you use and what car you drive also wants to decide what gender your kids are—and make you pay for it. Gender-affirming care, funded by taxpayers, is now the law of the land. Because apparently there’s just not enough chaos in Canadian family life.
Here’s the age breakdown of the Canadian election

Some folks are blaming this mess on a wave of nationalism stirred up by Donald Trump’s blunt takes and trade policies. Sorry, but that’s not an excuse. Voters aren’t children. They don’t get to blame Daddy Trump for their decision to vote for economic suicide. If Canadians were so wounded by a little trolling that they turned to a climate cultist with a UN resume and a spending addiction, then maybe they weren’t ready for adulthood in the first place.
Bottom line? Canadians made their choice. They had a real chance to pivot, to reclaim their economy and culture, and instead they handed the keys to a guy who’s openly promising decline. Americans watching this from the sidelines should take note: this is what happens when you prioritize virtue-signaling over viability. When you vote feelings over facts. No pity needed. Let the chips fall, and let Canada learn the hard way—again.
