The most likely successors to Justin Trudeau promise more of the same.

There are a total of six candidates vying to take over as leader of Canada’s Liberal Party from Justin Trudeau, who has announced his resignation both as party leader and as prime minister.

Canada now finds itself without clear leadership, while a trade war with the US is building. Two candidates are emerging as the ones with the best chance of succeeding Trudeau.

This does not bode well for Canada and the Liberal Party, as in many ways these candidates represent more of the same policies that made Trudeau so unpopular.

Former Governor of the Bank of Canada, Mark Charney, is one of the candidates. He has the Green Deal on the brain, and seems to believe that the fight to save the climate can also repair the economy and crush Donald Trump in the coming trade war.

This is according to Terry Newman in the National Post.

On Friday, Mark Carney held a policy announcement at Pier 21 in Halifax, essentially telling Canadians that his plan to fight Trump’s tariffs and his plan to solve Canada’s economic problems are one and the same – a green economy.

Carney told attendees that one of the reasons the Liberal Party, led by himself, need to win the upcoming federal election, to be held in the autumn, is the impending tariffs from US President Donald Trump. «In times like these, we need serious leadership and a serious plan,» he said.

So his serious plan is to go all in on «green industry». But first, Carney said he hoped that negotiations that three cabinet ministers had with Trump’s «border czar” Tom Homan could succeed.

As we now know: Those negotiations were totally unsuccessful.

Then Carney showed us his cards, writes Newman.

He suggested that Canada should seize this «opportunity to strengthen our economy» with green initiatives.

That’s because, he said, the US is «taking its eyes off some big issues» – read, climate change – «that are going to be fundamental, not only to the future of our planet, but also to the competitiveness of companies. So let’s capitalise on that and move forward.»

It’s well known that under Trudeau, Canada has led the way in the woke madness that has hit the West. So it’s almost surprising that Carney doesn’t also see great opportunities in so-called gender-affirming treatment.

After all: Trump has «lost focus» on the important things in this field, such as mutilating and sterilising children and destroying families. This is an opportunity for Canada!

According to Carney, «helping hard-working families get ahead», «increasing the competitiveness of Canadian companies» and «building the strongest economy in the G7» all depend on «how Canadians take their share of responsibility for addressing climate change».

Then he makes some promises:

– My government will immediately remove the consumer carbon tax.

– But we won’t stop there. Instead, we’re going to create a system of incentives that rewards Canadians for making greener choices, so that you no longer have to pay more to fuel your car or heat your home, but are rewarded when you choose energy-efficient appliances, an electric car or insulation for your home.

– We want to make the big polluters pay for it.

Newman points out that Carney seems to have forgotten some important details. Firstly, polluting businesses that incur extra costs will only pass those costs directly to customers in the form of higher prices.

Secondly: The incentives Carney is talking about already exist. Many states subsidise so-called climate-friendly measures, such as support for buying battery cars and better insulation for houses.

As Newman puts it: «Canadians should ask to see the maths from the former Governor of the Bank of Canada on this.»

Unbelievably: His opponent is worse

Carney’s main opponent is Chrystia Freeland, who many of Document’s readers will recognise. She was Trudeau’s deputy prime minister and finance minister before resigning in December 2024. The reason for her resignation was, among other things, disagreement over how to handle Trump’s threats of tariffs.

Freeland was central to the tyranny against the truckers. The peaceful protesters had their bank accounts closed, and funding was frozen. Freeland equated fundraising for the protesters with money laundering and terrorist financing.

Later, Freeland was at the centre of the Trudeau government’s introduction of The Emergencies Act, due to some peaceful demonstrations. This decision was later recognised as illegal by a federal court.

Freeland represents everything that went wrong during Trudeau’s overly long tenure. Both she and Carney represent more of the same.

Just to top it all off: Freeland has been on the board of the World Economic Forum for years, and is thus closely tied to Bond villain Klaus Schwab, just like Trudeau, who was a former Young Global Leader of the WEF.

This is the situation in the Liberal Party in Canada. Fortunately, there is an election in Canada this year, and the election will be held no later than 20th of October, but can be brought forward. All indications are that the Liberal Party will have to leave the government after the election.

But after all: The election is almost nine months away, and a lot can be destroyed in a country over such a long period. However, it is entirely possible that there will be new motions of no confidence in the government, which is not in control of parliament.

Either way, it will take many years to repair all the damage Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party have inflicted on Canada.
