With federal elections looming in Canada, the ruling class is scrambling to realign the system before popular unrest boils over. Trudeau’s sudden resignation in January handed the Liberal Party reins to former central banker and Davos darling Mark Carney, a man whose CV reads like the boardroom minutes of global finance capital. Now, Carney wants a mandate—not from the people—but from markets.
Carney’s ascension wasn’t democratic, it was technocratic. He was installed by the party establishment and corporate backers to restore order and discipline—a polite recalibration of neoliberalism in the age of Trump 2.0. Carney represents the Canadian annex of Davos: smooth, fluent in austerity, and fluent in the language of carbon markets and soft coups. But voters aren’t buying the repackaged elite consensus. From Alberta to Quebec, working-class anger is brewing, driven by inflation, housing collapse, and the existential dread of becoming a U.S. resource colony.
As Western separatism festers, and Indigenous land struggles intensify, the Canadian state’s legitimacy is eroding. The public knows that housing isn’t unaffordable by accident—it’s the product of speculative finance, deregulation, and mass asset hoarding by hedge funds and pension behemoths. And Carney? He helped design that system at the Bank of Canada and Bank of England. Now, he wants to market himself as the man to fix it.
This election is not just about parties. It’s about which faction of the elite will manage the crisis of legitimacy—Liberal technocrats like Carney or Conservative ethno-nationalists who want to turn Canada into a gated suburb of Fortress America. The working class has no party. Indigenous nations have no sovereignty. Tenants, students, gig workers—none of them are on the ballot.
Carney’s team, along with their media allies, is selling Canada as a haven of stability in a Trump-dominated North America. But that’s a lie. The Canadian state is economically and militarily integrated into the U.S. imperial system—from NORAD missile defense to U.S.-Canada police collaboration under Five Eyes. This is not sovereignty. This is subordination with a maple leaf.
Weaponized Information sees through the polite lies of neoliberal realignment. This election is about class war disguised as center-left governance. It’s about whether Canadian elites can stabilize their settler project while clinging to U.S. capital and NATO doctrine. Our job is not to pick a lesser evil—it’s to organize for rupture.
The ballot box won’t save us. Only the people will.
