EXCERPT: "Mark Carney is the new Liberal leader — and our next Prime Minister.

The stage is now set for a crucial showdown: Poilievre vs. Carney.

With Trump’s threats of turning Canada into the '51st state,' this election risks becoming a superficial contest over who can wave the Canadian flag highest. Yes, we need a leader who can stand up to Trump — but beneath this surface-level patriotism lies a dangerous distraction.

Focusing on nationalism can conveniently shield both candidates from scrutiny of their real agendas and policies. Both Poilievre and Carney have deep ties to powerful corporate interests — entities often aligned more with U.S. billionaires than everyday Canadians. Not to mention certain politicians who mirror Trump’s populism just coated in a Canadian wrapping.

As politicians and the mainstream media focus on vibes and soundbites, this is exactly the time that the rich and powerful need to be scrutinized. It is precisely now that independent journalism is needed to ensure that polished narratives don't hide agendas harmful to everyday Canadians and beneficial only to elites — whether in America or Canada — who thrive on Trump’s chaos. . . .
