BUY CANADIAN, CARNEY?

Radio and TV ads urge Canadians to buy Canadian. Keep our money in Canada. Help Canadian businesses and stimulate the economy.

So what did Mark Carney do in one of his first actions as Canada’s prime minister, before calling an election? He granted a $6-billion contract to upgrade our radar defence technology to Australian companies. This despite the fact that we have Canadian companies that are just as capable.

This move also means Canada will not control the rights to our own defence system. Talk about being completely tone deaf. The estimated cost last year to rebuild our radar system was $3 billion. Carney has doubled the cost without any explanation. Questions addressed to him about this matter went unanswered.

This is Justin Trudeau all over again: spending recklessly with no accountability and not putting Canada first. We’ve had 10 years of that. If this is a reflection of what Carney is all about, then Canada will continue to crumble if he wins the election.

PLEASE CANADA, DON’T FALL FOR GRITS

Unfortunately, I am a bit scared, but not surprised, that the generally left-leaning populace of Canada is falling for the old ‘only we can save you from what we have done to you over the past decade’ from the Liberals. Their lies about Poilievre being a rollover for Trump have been swallowed hook, line and sinker. Canada’s illogical fear of the right will hopefully not be so great as to allow another Liberal government. Cutting your nose off to spite your face never works.

CARNEY’S PHONY CANADIANA 

Mark Carney has a pretty skewed idea of what a Canadian is. Mr. Dressup and his puppet friends, Bud the Spud, Howie Meeker, Regina, The Tragically Hip, hockey analogies, and two seasons in Toronto. That’s what Carney thinks is a Canadian. Pretty pathetic — and he’s courting celebrity endorsements, just like Trump.
