Bell: The horror show Mark Carney and the Liberals want deep-sixed now

By Rick Bell

A government report paints a horrible picture of 2040 Canada just before the election but the Carney Liberals face little grief and few questions.

Those who think they’re cruising to four more years in power don’t want anything to get in the way now.

They can already taste victory. You can see and hear it when they talk. Power is within their grasp. Just get through the last few days. Just get to Monday.

A possible roadblock surfaces, quietly on the weekend.

Kudos to Blacklock’s Reporter. They entitled their piece. Fed Report Predicts Collapse.

It could bear the horrible handle. Apocalypse Soon.

It is a forecast of a hellscape Canada could become just 15 years down the road and it is produced by the Canadian government.

You would think it would be big news, very big news given the timing just before decision day.

And it is a Canadian government report! Wild stuff!

It’s produced by deep-thinkers who advise the prime minister and his inner circle.

The prime minister is Mark Carney, the Liberal leader who is out trying to fear-monger and double-talk his way to four years in power, hoping people forget the past 10 years where Justin Trudeau promised sunny ways and created for many Canadians the exact opposite.

Darkening times.

Most of the press don’t want to touch the government’s look into the abyss.

As far as I know, no newshound asked Carney about it Wednesday, despite pleas on social media for someone to put the doomsday scenario in front of the Liberal leader.

They no doubt felt they had more important questions for Carney but I can’t remember what they were.

By the way, you ought to know what happened Tuesday.

Toronto Sun scribbler Joe Warmington asked Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre about this government gaze into the gruesome crystal ball, into what Canada could become, and he reports people in the press heckled and berated him for pitching the question to Poilievre.

In the government report it is said Canadians assume following the rules and doing the right thing will lead to a better life. However, things are changing

Poilievre couldn’t believe the forecast wasn’t on every front page.

On Wednesday, the Conservative leader brings up the report again.

Poilievre says Carney and the Liberals tell us to forget the past 10 years of lousy Liberal governing.

But this is a federal government document about the future, the year 2040 if Canadians sleepwalk down the path the country is on.

Poilievre says it is jaw-dropping.

“The shock value of this report is so massive you would find it hard to believe the things they say.”

Just a few of the many points.

More people struggling to make ends meet. Owning a home is not a realistic goal for many.

Inequality between homeowners and the many folks forced to rent causes conflict.

A widespread mental crisis, young people having lost faith in Canada flee the country and it is harder to pay for the services to older people who are left.

Again, the most gobsmacking one.

Some people hunting, fishing and foraging on public land in order to eat.

Other examples from the report can be found in my Tuesday column.

Poilievre also points out how many of the dire predictions for 2040, 15 years from now, is already a reality for many Canadians.

“That’s how desperate the situation has already become,” says the Conservative leader.

One can only hope the press asks Carney about the report. Surely Canadians should know what the prime minister and Liberal leader has to say.

Meanwhile, it’s all elbows up for Carney.

Carney gets a little helping hand from American President Donald Trump.

But Trump did say it was easier to deal with a Liberal.

Trump didn’t offer up any plans to take over Canada but he wants car plants back in the U.S. and threatens higher tariffs on Canadian vehicles.

“I really don’t want cars from Canada. We can make our own cars.”

Carney is all about Trump — again.

America wants to own Canada. The biggest question in the election is who is going to stand up for Canada.

Carney, of course, believes he is that person.

So now the Liberal leader asks for a “clear mandate.”

In other words, he wants a majority government, a majority of the House of Commons seats, a free pass to do what he wants for four years.t

Still, if you really care about Canada, that frightening Canadian government look into the future is hard to forget.

“The report paints a terrifying picture of a national spiral of depression and decline,” says Poilievre.
