Mark Carney’s election as Canada’s prime minister has sparked fierce debate among conservatives. Jordan Peterson recently warned that President Trump’s tariffs on Canada will backfire, handing Carney more power to push his liberal agenda. This sharp take highlights growing concerns about Carney’s ties to globalist policies and his hostility toward Trump’s America-first approach.
Carney, a former central banker, campaigned as a “crisis manager” but conservatives see him as a smug elitist disconnected from working Canadians. His close ties to international organizations like the UN and the Bank of England raise red flags. Critics argue he’ll prioritize woke climate policies over defending Canada’s interests, leaving hardworking families behind.
Trump’s tariffs aimed to protect U.S. jobs, but Peterson argues they’ve backfired by making Carney a martyr. The Liberal leader is now using Trump’s tough trade stance to rally support for bigger government and higher taxes. This plays right into Carney’s hands, allowing him to paint conservatives as puppets of American populism.
The Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poilievre, warned voters that Carney’s globalist resume makes him unfit to stand up to Trump. But liberal fearmongering about “Trump-style politics” swayed soft voters. Now, Carney plans to weaken Canada’s economy further by kowtowing to UN climate mandates instead of boosting energy independence.
Patriotic Canadians worry Carney’s policies will erase national pride. His dismissive attitude toward Trump’s “51st state” joke reveals contempt for sovereignty. While Trump fights for strong borders, Carney pushes open-door immigration and radical green deals that threaten jobs in oil, gas, and manufacturing.
Peterson’s warning rings true: Trump’s tariffs let Carney pose as Canada’s defender while undermining its values. Instead of uniting the country, Carney divides it—smearing conservatives as extremists while catering to urban elites. His phony centrism masks a leftist agenda that’ll hike living costs and silence dissent.
Working-class Canadians already feel the squeeze from Carney’s carbon taxes and red tape. With Trump’s tariffs adding pressure, Carney’s solutions—more regulation, less freedom—will only make things worse. Conservatives warn this is just the start of a long march toward Canadian decline under liberal rule.
The battle lines are clear. Carney’s election is a wake-up call for patriots to push back against globalism and woke overreach. As Peterson and others sound the alarm, true Canadians must fight to preserve their nation’s identity, economy, and values before it’s too late.
