CARNEY VERSUS POILIEVRE 2 HEADS ON THE SAME SNAKE

(Don’t drink the red or blue Kool-Aid)


The Manufactured Left-Right Divide: 

How Media Narratives Are Being Used to Promote Pierre Poilievre In the lead-up to Canada’s next federal election, a carefully orchestrated media strategy has emerged, creating a false left-right dichotomy to manipulate public perception. 

This strategy revolves around two figures: 

Mark Carney, the presumed Liberal Party successor, and Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative leader. The media is dramatizing attacks against Carney to build up Poilievre as the preferred alternative—despite both figures ultimately serving the same entrenched political and economic interests.

The Left-Wing Media Strategy: Smearing Mark Carney

Mark Carney, former Governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, is being positioned by the Liberal establishment as the successor to Justin Trudeau. However, the right-wing media and certain factions within the political sphere have begun to paint him as a globalist elite with no real loyalty to Canada.

Criticism against Carney focuses on:

  • His ties to the World Economic Forum (WEF) – He has been an advocate for integrating climate risk into financial systems, which critics argue is a veiled push for global governance.

  • His background as a Goldman Sachs banker – Detractors claim this makes him a ruthless capitalist with no regard for ordinary Canadians.

  • His advocacy for “climate economics” – Portrayed as a backdoor attempt to impose regulatory control over national economies.

  • His role in stabilizing financial institutions – Framed as prioritizing corporate bailouts over the needs of working Canadians.

These highly publicized critiques serve a dual purpose—while they make Carney appear to be a controversial figure, they also reinforce the perception that Poilievre is the only viable alternative. This controlled opposition dynamic ensures that regardless of which leader wins, the underlying political and economic power structures remain intact.

The Right-Wing Media Strategy: Manufacturing Poilievre as the “People’s Candidate”
While Carney is being smeared as an out-of-touch globalist, Poilievre is being strategically positioned as a populist champion—despite evidence that his policies and tactics mirror the same elite power plays he claims to oppose.

One of the most concerning aspects of Poilievre’s approach is his declared intention to use Section 33 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms,, known as the notwithstanding clause, to override fundamental rights and freedoms. The clause allows governments to bypass protections for individual rights, effectively stripping Canadians of legal recourse when the government oversteps its authority

Historically, Section 33 was meant to be an emergency measure used only under extreme circumstances. Poilievre’s eagerness to invoke it preemptively to override the right to reasonable bail and protection from cruel and unusual punishment suggests a dangerous shift towards executive dominance, bypassing legal safeguards meant to protect the public. This raises critical questions:

  • What other rights does Poilievre intend to override?

  • Would he use it to curtail dissent, limit free expression, or restrict mobility rights?

  • Why is he pushing to normalize the idea that rights can be overridden the PM’s will?

By floating the idea publicly before even facing a legal challenge, Poilievre is working to desensitize the public to the erosion of fundamental rights and  freedoms, conditioning voters to accept government overreach as normal.

Poilievre’s Failure to Act on National Security Threat
In addition to his rhetoric on rights and governance, Poilievre has also made strong public statements regarding national security threats, including:

  • The Winnipeg Lab scandal, where sensitive research was leaked to the Chinese Communist Party.

  • Chinese interference in Canadian elections, which raises serious concerns about foreign influence over national politics.

  • Allegations of fraud within government institutions, undermining public trust in democratic processes.

While Poilievre publicly demanded a judicial inquiry into these matters, he has failed to take any meaningful parliamentary action to address them. As the leader of the Opposition, he has the power to:

  • Introduce motions in Parliament.

  • Push for independent investigations.

  • Use procedural tools to force transparency and accountability.

  • He could also launch judicial reviews

Yet, despite his vocal outrage, he has done nothing substantive to bring these issues to a resolution. This strongly suggests that his rhetoric performative— designed to stoke public anger without actually solving the problems.

The Bigger Picture: 2 HEADS ON THE SAME SNAKE 

Despite their apparent ideological differences, both Carney and Poilievre are ultimately part of the same system—a political and economic framework that serves elite interests over those of the general public.

Key Similarities Between Carney and Poilievre

  • Economic Elitism – Carney’s background in global finance and Poilievre’s pro-market policies both benefit corporate interests.

  • Globalist vs. Nationalist Narratives – Carney represents an internationalist perspective, while Poilievre pushes nationalism—yet both result in policies that fail to address systemic inequality.

  • Media Manipulation – The media dramatizes attacks on Carney while elevating Poilievre, creating a false choice for voters

This left-right divide is an illusion, carefully maintained to distract the public from recognizing that both options ultimately serve the same elite power structures.

Conclusion: The Illusion of Choice

By amplifying attacks against Mark Carney, the media is steering public opinion toward Poilievre as the “anti-elite” alternative—despite clear evidence that he is willing to override fundamental freedoms, ignore national security threats, and engage in political theatre rather than governance.

This election cycle is not about a real choice between opposing visions—it is about maintaining a controlled opposition where the public believes they have agency while power remains concentrated in the same hands.

The real question is: 

How long will Canadians continue to fall for the illusion of choice before demanding genuine alternatives who vote in the interest of their constituents, not the global elites? 

There are options:

 1) independents candidates 

 or

 2)  a party that does not have a party whip.
