What Trump policies in Canada? You mean defending the oil and gas industry and build pipelines to sell energy world wide? Build the economy in Canada and stop the ridiculous carbon taxes that is hurting Canadians?

"Carney says he will double the Indigenous Loan Guarantee Program from $5 billion to $10 billion. Only catch is it cannot be invested in oil and gas. That shows you he will attack oil and gas if elected." Letters, March 27: Carney shows he'll attack oil and gas industry Sounds like Carney is much like Guilbeault, just that he didn't climb the CN Tower.

Can you explain how that is a thing in Canada? I think it is just a fake claim of the liberals that their opposition is Trumpian if that's what you're talking about. Give the proof. Carney has already proven he is an diehard climate warrior. Letters, March 27: Carney shows he'll attack oil and gas industry I guess it is "Trumpian" to defend our oil and gas industry and defend Canada.

What skills are you talking about? Carney is a globalist and climate change has been his profession for many years. How can that be good for Canada? He is working for the WEF, U.N. and Gretta crowd, not Canada. Read what his history is. Carney will continue the Liberal's attack on the oil and gas industry. Letters, March 27: Carney shows he'll attack oil and gas industry

"Carney sits on the Steering Committee of the Council for Inclusive Capitalism at the Vatican. The council emerged in 2020 as a co-venture of the Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism and the Vatican. Both the coalition and the council are spearheaded by Lynn Forester de Rothschild, billionaire philanthropist, businesswoman and two-time fundraiser for the presidential bids of Hillary Clinton. " As a devout follower of the Papal system and on the Council for Inclusive Capitalism at the Vatican, will he someday be canonized as a saint? Perhaps a saint in the Liberal Party instead??

As Carney has held high positions in the U.N., WEB, and Vatican as a climate change fighter, will he be canonized as a saint by the Pope?

"Steven Guilbeault's long climb from tree hugger to Liberal environment minister Civil disobedience was never a goal in and of itself. It was just a tool. And now I’m using different tools,' Guilbeault told the Post in 2019 Steven Guilbeault’s first environmental protest took place when he was around five years old, in his hometown of La Tuque, Que. He lived in a house that backed onto a forest where he used to play, and one day he saw developers removing trees. Panicked, he ran inside to his mother and asked what he should do; she responded that if he climbed a tree, they couldn’t cut it down. 'I can't help but stick up for ordinary Canadians': How Diefenbaker's prairie populism swept Canada “I climbed it and stayed there for hours and hours, and that day, they didn’t cut down that tree,” Guilbeault recounted in a 2017 Radio-Canada interview. “That was the beginning.” Now 45 years later, following decades of environmental activism and several arrests, Guilbeault is Canada’s new environment minister. It is an appointment that has startled, and even frightened, some who fear that the “Green Jesus of Montreal” — as he was dubbed by Quebec media — is going to clamp down hard on the country’s oil, gas and energy sector. Calgary Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner was the latest to attack him when she said on Friday that the country needed policies that help spur economic growth and lower greenhouse gas emissions in a way that “leaves no one behind.” “Justin Trudeau could have appointed an environment minister that understands this point. Instead, Justin Trudeau appointed an ideological anti-energy activist,” she said in a statement, claiming that Guilbeault had fought “to shut down entire industries.” Steven Guilbeault's long climb from tree hugger to Liberal environment minister | National Post

Those are the politicians who will work closely with the PM to help him achieve his goals. Steven Guilbeault was named environment and climate change minister. Keep reading to learn more about him. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ Imagine having the job of tackling climate change and protecting the environment for Canada right now. Well, that job has just been given to Steven Guilbeault (pronounced gill-BO). His official title is minister of environment and climate change. One of Guilbeault’s first assignments will be to represent Canada at the COP26 conference in Glasgow, Scotland, next week, which is an important event where world leaders will work together to find ways to fight climate change. It’s the first of many challenges he faces, including helping Canada reach its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40 per cent before 2030. Canada has never met its emissions targets before.

How Steven Guilbeault went from protester to new climate change minister | story | Kids News

During the past ten years the Liberals appointed Steven Guilbeault, a radical environmental activist, as minister of Environment and Climate Change. During the ten years of Liberal rule, the Liberals hammered Canadians with carbon taxes and hit the energy industry with carbon taxes, regulations to try to force them to reduce CO2 emissions (cap), blocked the construction of pipelines, banned tankers from the B.C. north coast, and killed the proposed Energy East pipeline and the Northern Gateway Pipeline. The Liberals refused to enable pipelines, refineries, and seaports to ship natural gas to much of the world. The Liberals also allowed cities and towns to impose heavy regulations and restrictions that have made it very expensive or impossible to build homes across Canada. They let provinces build barriers to interprovincial trade and did nothing to eliminate them. Now we are supposed to believe they are going to save us in the face of Trump tariffs. What a joke! If you can believe that, I've got some things to sell you.

The Liberals recently put a 100% tariff on electric vehicles made in China. China responded by putting high tariffs on some agricultural products and seafood products from Canada. This causes great harm to the agricultural and fishing sector in the maritimes and the prairies. So this helps the protect the auto industry in south eastern Ontario at the expense of the agricultural industry and some of the fishing industry. We know there is a large voter base in southeastern Ontario. Could protecting this voter base at the expense of a smaller voter base on the prairies and a smaller fishing industry on the coasts be the reason why the Liberals put a 100% tariff on Chinese made EVs? This seems like a very high tariff and would effectively kill that market in Canada. I thought the pain of tariffs was supposed to be spread around equally. Today, March 26th, Trump announced 25% tariffs begin on the auto industry. Not sure if 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs will help the auto industry much.

Different question. Will he put Canada first or will he put his globalist beliefs first?

"The carbon tax was a market mechanism that Carney has long supported. On the other hand, Carney has no time for markets — unless the government is involved. “We know that markets don’t have values; people do. And we know, we know, as Liberals, that it’s our job, our job, to make the economy work.” What Canada needs, claims Carney, is a national government that makes sure “markets are governed well.” Carney does not place any limits on how Ottawa would govern markets. Maybe The Hinge provides more detail." Read this full article: Terence Corcoran: The (missing) book on Mark Carney’s plan for Canada I see this interventionist ideology as a type of Marxism. This describes the liberal/NDP ideology quite well. That is why Canada is in the mess it is in. Government intervention in every aspect of the economy has really hamstrung growth and discouraged foreign investment. Without foreign investment, our resources will remain in the ground and the cost of everything will rise while the average income stagnates. Fewer jobs means reduced prosperity. More bureaucracy to implement intervention means more taxes and less money available for essential services.

Mr. Carney says he is putting Canada first. But this raises a lot of questions which have not been answered. First what is PM Carney's relationship with China? He reportedly has (or had?) investments in China. Why doesn't he tell exactly what this is all about, what investments, how much and what is the present situation and his connections? What about the fact he worked for major globalist organizations? What is his association now? He was a strong advocate for the war against climate change and fought for net zero on the world stage. He even held the highest positions in the war on climate change. "Carney is the United Nations special envoy on climate finance, co-chair for the Glasgow Finance Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ), " - The Catholic or the Davos Man? | The Catholic Register He is devout Catholic and apparently fairly close to the papacy in the Vatican. As a globalist how does the Pope's political-religious views and agenda affect Carney's beliefs and politics? Since the Pope as a religious leader for 1.376 billion Catholics in the world, the Pope has a tremendous political influence on many countries. How does this affect Mr. Carney's political views? These questions are something that Canadians should be able to have the facts on since they are deciding whether he will be the top leader of Canada in the world.

Canada needs Canadians to support a common sense party to stop the destruction of Canada by the liberal-left machine which has destroyed the economy, pushed the cost of living out of sight for millions of people, increased divisions between people, and pushed Canada into massive debt. The liberal left doesn't believe in free enterprise and has been advancing government bureaucracy, control, and regulations which kills private investment and innovation.

Yes, Carney is a faithful follower of the Pope and that system. I disagree with the religion because it is unbiblical although I have had cordial RC friends over the years. I have nothing against the RC people. It is a system that most are born into. If you want to read an interesting book online called Roman Catholicism by Loraine Boettner at the archive website do this: Put on a search line ... Roman Catholicism by Loraine Boettner archive and you will find it. Here is one example of why Protestants oppose that system. Page 174 describes confessing sins to a priest. Here is a little part of it. "Through the use of the confessional the priest has been able to pry into the conscience of each individual, so that no heretic might escape, and in the case of the faithful to gain entrance into the privacy of the domestic family circle. There is literally and in truth no area of life that is exempt from the scrutiny and supervision of the priest. “Knowledge is power,” and that power can be wielded in many ways, to direct people along lines that will promote the church program, or for the personal benefit of the priest himself. It is perfectly evident that the priest to whom a person has confessed his thoughts, desires, and every sinful action just as it occurred, has placed that person largely under his control. For some that means little less than slavery. This is particularly true of women and girls who have even destroyed their self-respect in so surrendering themselves to the priest. The result is a sense of shame, worry, and of being at the mercy of the priest. Through the confessional Rome has been able to exercise an effective control not only over the family, but over political officials of every grade, teachers, doctors, lawyers, employers and employees, and indeed over all who submit to that discipline. 3 The Priests Cannot Forgive Sins The Scriptures teach that only God can forgive sins: “Who can forgive sins but one, even God?” (Mark 2:7); “...The Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins” (Matthew 9:6). It is because God is our Creator and Owner and Judge, and because it is His law that we have broken, that He can forgive sins. The Lord Jesus Christ has this power because He is God. But the Church of Rome teaches that her priests also can forgive sins, and that “They pardon sins, not only as ambassadors of Jesus Christ, but as judges, and by way of jurisdiction” (Council of Trent, Sess. 14,9; Bellarmine, De Poenit, 3,2). The Council of Trent declares further: “Whosoever shall affirm that the priest’s sacramental absolution is not a judicial act, but only a ministry to pronounce and declare that the sins of the party confessing are forgiven, let him be anathema.” And the priest, after hearing the confession says to the penitent: “I absolve you from your sins, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.” The priests hold a lot of power over their followers.

The fact is the government has run up nearly 1.5 trillion dollars in the national debt with its war against climate change a major cause. Reduced standard of living of Canadians and housing crisis because of higher costs of everything. Thousands of people living in tents. Add to that the billions more being spent on social programs like school food programs, a national dental care plan, and now pharmacare. Billions more being spent than ever before and billions must be spent to service the interest payments on the national debt. That means less money available for social programs. How is Canada going to manage to pay for all the social programs, pay the interest on the 1.5 trillion dollar debt and still increase the budget for the Canadian Forces and health care, etc.? Where is the money going to come from? Trudeau left his job with around 8 million in pensions and is laughing all the way to the bank after leaving Canadians saddled with a massive debt that at the moment is around $40,000 to $70,000 per person in Canada. "The debt burden for families across Canada has been growing substantially for more than a decade. As was the case in the 1970s to mid-1990s, deficit spending and debt accumulation have become the norm for the federal and many provincial governments. Since 2007/08, total net debt (inflation adjusted) has nearly doubled in absolute dollar terms. Rising government debt has severe consequences for Canadians as more and more resources are directed toward interest payments and away from programs that help families or improve Canada’s economic competitiveness. Since we are now past the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal and provincial governments must develop long-term plans to meaningfully address the problem of government debt in Canada." The Growing Debt Burden for Canadians, 2024 edition

Destroy the standard of living and economy of Canadians on the alter of the false god of the globalist net zero goal? Trudeau has already done a number on Canadians. The fact is the government has run up nearly 1.5 trillion dollars in the national debt. The fanatical war on climate change done by Trudeau, Guilbeault and other liberal/NDP/Green radicals has done a lot of harm of our fair country. Nobody in their right mind actually voted for this assault on our standard of living and economy. This proves to be the big problem with our democratic system. An election has all kinds of campaign issues but the real consequences for the war on climate change are not really calculated or told to the voters. Charismatic leaders make great sound bites but little detail and a significant number of voters are taken in by the bait. We have been ending up with a reduced standard of living of Canadians because of higher costs of everything. Add to that the billions more being spent on social programs like school food programs, a national dental care plan, and now pharmacare. Billions more being spent than ever before and billions must be spent to service the interest payments on the national debt. That means less money available for social programs. How is Canada going to manage to pay for all the social programs, pay the interest on the 1.5 trillion dollar debt and still increase the budget for the Canadian Forces and health care, etc. Where is the money going to come from?

While searching for information about PM Mark Carney I came across this article on the Catholic Register website: " Carney is the United Nations special envoy on climate finance, co-chair for the Glasgow Finance Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ), advisory board chair for the progressive think-tank Canada 2020 and sits on the foundation board of the World Economic Forum. The list goes on: chair of the Group of Thirty, a member of the boards of Bloomberg Philanthropies, Harvard University Overseers and The Rideau Hall Foundation. All of this is well-rehearsed, but there is one transnational non-profit organization with which Carney is involved that entirely escapes mention by the secular press, and even his Wiki page. It is an involvement that is potentially instructive to both the nature of his Catholicism and his understanding of the power of the market as a force of change. Carney sits on the Steering Committee of the Council for Inclusive Capitalism at the Vatican. The council emerged in 2020 as a co-venture of the Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism and the Vatican. Both the coalition and the council are spearheaded by Lynn Forester de Rothschild, billionaire philanthropist, businesswoman and two-time fundraiser for the presidential bids of Hillary Clinton. The Vatican’s “capitalism with a human face” council seeks to move “the private sector to create a more inclusive, sustainable and trusted economic system.” Carney has been involved with the council from the outset. An early group photo once featured on the website shows Carney standing two to the right of Pope Francis, sandwiched between de Rothschild and Brian Moynihan, CEO of Bank of America. " The Catholic or the Davos Man? | The Catholic Register This raises many questions. PM Carney has obviously been heavily involved in powerful global organizations. The Steering Committee of the Council for Inclusive Capitalism at the Vatican of which Carney sits on at the time this was written demonstrates the committee and Carney have (or had) close ties to the present Pope and their globalist agenda. What does all this mean for Canada if PM Carney becomes the next Prime Minister of Canada? If he as a committed globalist and warrior on climate change, will he carry his ideas and ideology into policies, laws, and regulations in the governing of Canada? I believe he has said nothing about removing the caps, carbon taxes on industry, and regulations that are and will continue to hamper the energy industry and prevent it from achieving its full potential. Will he put the growth of Canada's oil and gas industry, and the economy of Canada first or will the globalist agenda of the WEF, the Vatican, and the U.N. Social Development Goals be put first?

Why do they waste what little money they have on a pack of cigarettes? That could buy a couple meals or more. They make their choice. It's called freedom.

I have to ask if he is speaking with a forked tongue. He talks a good talk about building infrastructure, pipelines, etc. but says nothing about removing all the caps that are forcing the energy industry to be non-competitive with the rest of the world and prevent it from really increasing production as they otherwise could. His speech here mentions nothing about removing the carbon tax from the energy industry or the caps. Carney says he's committed to making oil industry more competitive | Watch All the regulations are still in place against Canada's energy industry. Carney says nothing about it. He wants to sound like he is really going to build up the industry but left out the crucial problem. Oil and gas sector greenhouse gas pollution cap - Canada.ca His inaction on removing the regulations, carbon taxes on industry, and caps on the energy industry should come as no surprise. His history is he worked for the U.N. in a prominent position as a warrior against climate change and as an globalist climate change fighter. Can we expect him to suddenly change? I don't think so.

No, Canadians are sick of hearing Liberals apologizing for everything, on behalf of Canadians, that happened in the past that had nothing to do people alive today. "Throughout the history of Canada, the Canadian government (its colonial predecessors and settlers) have been accused of many atrocities variously described as ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity and genocide, against the Indigenous peoples in Canada. [a][2][3][4] The 1990s saw the term cultural genocide utilized when researchers began to declare the actions of churches and the government regarding residential schools as culturicide." The Liberals have been the ones running government most of the time since confederation. How about they point the finger at themselves for a change instead of blame shifting to Canadians? It was the governments that allowed and set up the residential schools and let them be run the way they were.

Technically you may be correct on the lease subject. However, that is not the common belief or way private property is viewed by most Canadians. Most people believe they own their property and money or investments. But we know a Marxist or Socialist type of government could take what ever they wanted through legislation. Canadians found out that their individual rights exist only at the whims of government. They learned this during Covid and when the government declared the Emergencies Act invoked after the trucker's protest began. What you say about not owning real estate also proves that when Pierre Trudeau brought in the Charter of Rights, he deliberately left out certain things like the ownership of property.

Wow! Does this sound like bribery or not? The federal health minister just announced this morning that the Canadian Dental Care Plan will be expanded to cover all Canadians starting in May. This is a significant promise for the tens of millions of Canadians who do not have a dental plan. The question is how will they be able to pay for this? From what I just found on the internet, this could cost 13 billion dollars. The government is already I believe over 60 billion dollars in debt and promises to significantly increase military spending to try to reach 2% minimum GDP commitment to NATO. Did the government also commit to dropping the carbon taxes on consumers on April 1st? Did they commit to reducing taxes on the middle class? If so, where is the money going to come from for such expensive programs? We also may be facing a vast number of job losses as a result of Trump's tariffs and the government has committed to providing financial support to these people. We may be heading into a recession according to some experts. If this is the case, how can the government promise to increase spending by billions of dollars more at a time when the government may be facing huge increases in essential spending? This just doesn't add up. The question is, if Carney wins, is this expansion of the dental care plan just an empty promise which they will not fulfill? Is it a form of bribery which cannot be possibly fulfilled? I have a feeling that many Canadians will just base their vote on this promise without really understanding or thinking about the whole financial situation of the government and whether such a promise is credible.

Generally any property such as income, saved money, investments, inheritance, real estate, or anything that a dictatorial or Marxist type government wishes to take.

God gave man freedom of choice. But also gave man direction on how to live and what to believe. Man will be held accountable in God's plan. " Topical Encyclopedia Blasphemy, defined as the act of showing contempt or lack of reverence for God, is a grave sin in the biblical context. The Bible addresses the consequences of blasphemy in both the Old and New Testaments, underscoring its seriousness and the divine judgment it incurs. Old Testament Context In the Old Testament, blasphemy is explicitly condemned and is considered a capital offense. Leviticus 24:16 states, "Whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD must surely be put to death. The whole congregation must stone him. Whether an alien or a native, when he blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death." This severe penalty reflects the holiness of God's name and the seriousness with which the Israelites were to regard it. The narrative of Naboth's vineyard in 1 Kings 21 illustrates the misuse of blasphemy accusations. Jezebel orchestrates false charges of blasphemy against Naboth to seize his property, leading to his unjust execution. This account highlights the potential for abuse of blasphemy laws and the moral corruption that can ensue when God's commandments are manipulated for personal gain. New Testament Context In the New Testament, the focus shifts from legal penalties to spiritual consequences. Jesus addresses blasphemy in Matthew 12:31-32 , saying, "Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come." This passage introduces the concept of the unforgivable sin, emphasizing the gravity of attributing the work of the Holy Spirit to evil. The Apostle Paul, in his letters, also warns against blasphemy. In 1 Timothy 1:20 , he mentions Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom he "handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme." This disciplinary action underscores the need for correction and repentance in the face of blasphemous behavior. Theological Implications Blasphemy is not merely a verbal offense but a reflection of the heart's posture towards God. It signifies a willful rejection of God's authority and holiness. The consequences of blasphemy, therefore, extend beyond earthly punishment to spiritual alienation from God. The Bible consistently calls for reverence and respect for God's name, urging believers to uphold His holiness in thought, word, and deed. Practical Considerations For believers, the biblical teaching on blasphemy serves as a caution against irreverence and a reminder of the sanctity of God's name. It encourages a lifestyle of worship and respect, recognizing the power and majesty of the Creator. The community of faith is called to address blasphemy with both truth and grace, seeking restoration and repentance for those who have fallen into this sin." Topical Bible: Consequences of Blasphemy
