PM Mark Carney’s Shocking Confession

PM Mark Carney’s Shocking Confession

By Keith Porteous

In an unprecedented admission, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said the quiet part out loud at the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. What wasn’t surprising is that no corporate or state sponsored news source reported it honestly, as if to make Carney’s unexpected rhetorical point for him. Carney says that governments and media have been “pretending” that there’s a “rules based international order” when we all knew it wasn’t true. As admitted liars, what else are they lying about?

“The strong do what they can, and the weak suffer what they must,” said Carney, quoting ancient Greek historian Thucydides, saying less powerful countries have gone along with the facade where they’ve benefited from the lies. Now that Trump has taken the mask off the ugly face of Empire, Carney claims that we can no longer go along with this “pleasant fiction” because it’s no longer rewarded, and everyone knows it’s a lie that was never true. It’s a fiction where people have knowingly suspended their disbelief.

Carney cites a parable as told by Vaclav Havel, the former Czech dissident and later its President. It’s the story of a shopkeeper who kept a sign in his window that supported state sponsored propaganda, just like all the other shopkeepers did, “going along to get along.” Havel claimed that the Czech revolution began when the first shopkeeper took his sign out of the window. Carney says that now is the time for “middle powers” to take their self-serving signs out of their shop windows, because they no longer benefit from them. Wow!

Of course he then went on to support Trump’s “Board of Peace” for Palestine, of which Trump is the Chairman, and more proxy war in Ukraine, immediately reversing his rare moment of transparency. He also stated that Canada will work with the U.S. on the “Golden Dome” missile defence apparatus that is wildly expensive, entirely ineffective, and further destabilizing to the deterrence of a nuclear apocalypse. Apparently Russia and China, halfway around the world, are “potentially” a threat to Arctic sovereignty. Really?

For a brief few minutes Carney spoke the truth, if even for reasons that are disingenuous. He then returned to the globalist script, stating that Canada is an “energy superpower” that has cut corporate taxes and cleared the obstacle of environmental review and First Nations consent for more resource extraction mega-projects. Instead of investing in the diversification of the economy, Carney is diversifying the “trade partners” for exports of raw materials, rather than supporting secondary processes for domestic manufacturing. 

Carney is also committed to increasing the financialization of the economy, where the banks posted a record $70 billion in profits this last year, while working families and individuals are increasingly struggling to stay afloat. Canada can raise military spending to $150 billion a year without debate, but “can’t afford” better healthcare, housing, education, and public transportation for regular people. When will WE take our signs out of OUR windows and stop pretending that the Liberals or Conservatives give a damn about us? 

If “the people” do not occupy the governing table, we’ll be on the menu.
