COLEMAN: Mark Carney’s media mirage is fading, and Canadians are waking up
'There's something fishy about those polls showing Carney ahead.'
Peter Coleman is President of the National Citizens Coalition
If you’ve tuned into any of Mark Carney’s recent press conferences, you’ve likely noticed something remarkable: the Trudeau-era media free pass is crumbling. For years, Liberal leaders have coasted on softball questions and glowing headlines, but those days are over— and Carney’s floundering under the spotlight proves it.
Just the other day, a reporter dared to ask the would-be Liberal saviour if he’d repeal Bill C-69, infamously dubbed the "No Pipelines Bill." His answer? A flat "no," followed by the same wooden, rehearsed spiel we’ve come to expect. No vision, no substance — just more of the same.
Then came a question about plagiarism, and another about his refusal to fire Paul Chiang, the Liberal MP who shockingly called for a HK$1 million bounty on his Conservative opponent's head. Carney’s response — or lack thereof — was telling. Where’s the moral fibre? Where’s the leadership? Even his own party wanted Chiang gone, yet Carney stood firm, hot-tempered and defiant, as the media finally began to press him.
In the end, it was Chiang who chose to fall on his sword. Carney was nowhere to be seen.
Even yesterday, CTV News dropped the bombshell that his company Brookfield appears to have been running corporate taxes through a bike shop in Bermuda.
This is a stark contrast to the polished image the press has long peddled.
As far as I’m concerned, Mark Carney is a mirage—a media fabrication wilting under scrutiny. He’s a terrible communicator, quick to bristle when challenged, and it’s starting to show. Polls might suggest the Liberals are ahead, but I wonder how much of that is real. Pierre Poilievre is drawing massive crowds in places Conservatives rarely dominate — 1,700 people in a Prince Edward Island town of 800 just two days ago. (Or 4500 last night in Kingston.)
That’s no fluke. It’s a sign that everyday Canadians are hungry for something different, something a low-energy elitist like Carney can’t deliver.
We’re only weeks away from the April 28 election, a pivotal moment that will decide whether we endure more Liberal stagnation or embrace fresh ideas that tackle the issues Canadians actually care about: pipelines that get built, smart immigration policies, fiscal responsibility, and a government that doesn’t lecture us into submission.
After 10 years of being told we’re wrong to question the Liberal agenda, people are fed up — and they’re ready for change.
That’s why the National Citizens Coalition’s latest ads, which have been viewed by millions across the digital networks, are aimed at turning out the younger generation, and another, aimed at undecided boomers, cuts right to the chase.
The message is simple: Do we want more of the same, or do we want better?
When we say "don’t vote Liberal," we mean it. A Liberal vote is a vote for the status quo — higher taxes, fewer jobs, the abandonment of our Western friends and energy producers, and a country beholden to American trade whims.
This election is too critical for us to sit back. As a leading conservative advertiser and non-profit, we’re going all in, and I hope you’ll join us in that fight.
I want to be able to tell my kids and grandkids we did all that we could to drag those who broke this country on purpose back towards the centre, and then I want to be able to say we fired them for the sake of unity, prosperity, and reclaiming that Canadian Dream.
If you share our alarm, your support is most welcome.
