Whatcott thoughts on Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Cabinet and Alberta’s future

Dear Friends,

I must say after the election, my expectations of Canada entering an era of prosperity and freedom under Prime Minister Mark Carney’s manifestly unwise leadership was non-existant. In fact my response, like many Albertans was to join the pro-independance Alberta Prosperity Project and advocate for Alberta sovereignty or (my personal preferance) Alberta becoming a 51st state.

One only needs to look at Mark Carney’s family to see his lack of wisdom and evidence of poor leadership. His daughter Sophia at age 13 decided she wanted to “transition” to become a boy and Carney being the leftist he is, obliged and took his daughter to the UK’s discredited Tavistock Clinic and the picture above says it all. Carney’s daughter is now 24 years old and she doesn’t know what she is. Her self declared pronouns are “they/them.” Canada’s national media eager to portray Carney as moderate, brilliant, and the man who alone was competent enough to deal with Trump decided to keep this information off limits to the Canadian voting public.

I believe Carney’s decision to help facilitate his daughter’s so-called transition is pertinent for Canadians. This lack of dedication to reality and Carney’s obvious ignorance of what this means for his daughter’s long term health will undoubtably reflect in poor and ideologically driven decision making in the PMO’s office. Indeed, based on Carney’s choices for cabinet and his early indicators of what he plans for our resource sector, I think Carney’s ideology and detachment from reality is already apparent for those who care to look and pay attention.

“Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:11,12

Here is the Mark Carney government’s own words. The Liberals falsely claim the federal Conservatives would roll back abortion access, but that is factually untrue. Still one can see the Liberals fancy themselves as being more committed to baby killing than the Conservatives. God will not bless Canada until we repent of killing the unborn, the disabled, and many other vulnerable human beings through abortion and euthanasia.

Many Christians abandoned the unborn and other important moral issues and decided getting rid of the Liberals was Canada’s path to salvation. Unfortunately the Conservative candidate Pierre Pollievre was as committed to legalized abortion on demand as Carney is. As it is God did not give those particular Christians their hoped for saviour, Pierre Pollievre. Enough Canadians appear to have voted for Carney and a Liberal government that is fanatically committed to funding abortion and marginalizing the voices of Canadians with traditional values, not to mention a government that remains committed to leaving our national resources in the ground and deficit spending, that we should be looking like a gender queer version of Venezuela with no babies and maybe very few old people, by the time our next election comes around.

“The Lord sent against him bands of the Chaldeans and bands of the Syrians and bands of the Moabites and bands of the Ammonites, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the Lord that He spoke by His servants the prophets. Surely this came upon Judah at the command of the Lord, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, and also for the innocent blood that he had shed. For he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the Lord would not pardon.“ ….. …… .2 Kings 24:2-4

Anyways, to get a sense of where Canada is heading under Mark Carney, I decided to look at a few of his cabinet picks, rather than listen to any words coming out of his mouth. I believe Mark Carney, just like Justin Trudeau, is a habitual liar and you really can’t believe anything that he says.

Evan Solomon is the new MP for Toronto Centre (the riding that hosts Toronto’s homosexual district and the notorious unGodly Pride Parade). Solomon is one of a number of prominent Jews appointed by Carney to his inner Cabinet. Solomon is being awarded the newly created portfolio Minister of AI.

Evan Solomon was the host of Power and Politics on CBC back about ten years ago. I listened to Solomon a few times and like everyone on the CBC he was pro-homosexual, pro-abortion, a climate alarmist, pro-gun control, pro-censorship, etc….

Here is a 27 second clip of Evan Solomon promising to fight for transvestites.Poor Evan can’t figure out that men pretending to be women are still men

Anyways, notwithstanding these unassailable (by CBC standards) jounalistic qualities, Evan Solomon managed on getting himself fired by the CBC. Apparently, Evan used the connections he gained by interviewing the rich and powerful as a CBC host, to engage in a profitable side hustle of brokering high end art deals without disclosing what he was doing to his employer. When CBC found out, Evan Solomon was fired. No doubt Mark Carney knows why Solomon was fired as Carney purchased some of the art that Solomon was dealing in when he was a CBC host. Anyways Carney doesn’t seem too bothered with Solomon’s far left views or shady business ethics. Carney appointed him to his Cabinet.

I thought Trudeau’s and Carney’s tolerance of pro-Hamas/anti-Israel rallies in Montreal and Toronto, as well as their commitment to bringing in thousands of unvetted Gazan refugees would cost the Liberals support in Canada’s Jewish community. However, Canada’s Jews have largely chosen to remain loyal to the Liberal Party.

There is one notable exception, that being Roman Baber. Roman is an independant minded Russian Jew, who is a red Tory in some ways.

If there was no CHP or pro-life PPC candidate to vote for, I honestly would struggle if I was in Roman’s riding whether to vote for him or not. Roman supports killing pre-born babies, but to his credit unlike most pro-abortion politicians who ignore Campaign Life’s questionaire and refuse to respond; Roman respectfully answered Campaign Life’s questionaire and is honest he supports murdering babies on demand. Of course being honest about supporting baby murder and being respectful to a Canadian pro-life group who wants to let Canadians know where their policians stand on moral issues does not absolve one of moral blameworthiness. But Roman also to his credit is vocally against Wynne’s/Ford’s perverted, pro-sodomite/pro-trans, sex ed curriculum.

Where Roman really shined in my books and where he put himself in a league of earning more respect from me than what I have for many conservative Evangelical Pastors, is the man took an absolutely courageous stand against Premier Ford’s coercive vaccine mandates and lockdowns. In fact Roman got himself demonized by the legacy media and kicked out of the provincial Conservative Party as a result of writing an open letter condemning Ford’s lockdowns. Many Christians knew the lockdowns, mask mandates, and coercive vaccine mandates were wrong, but they went along with it anyways. The pro-abortion Jew, Roman Baber on the other hand stood for freedom when it was unpopular to do so, and at great personal cost to himself.

Roman ran in our federal election in the heavily Jewish and historically Liberal riding of York Centre and to my surprise Roman with his honest and public articulation of actually conservative views with the exception of abortion (though I suspect being a pro-abort helped him in York Centre, especially with the urban Jewish voters), beat the Liberal Jewish Cabinet Minister Ya’ara Saks.

To be honest Evan Solomon seems almost benign compared to Gregor Robertson, the former woke Mayor of Vancouver. If Carney was sincere when he said he wanted to get energy projects built then putting Robertson in his cabinet is a strange choice.

Just like Julie Dabrusin and Steven Guibeault, Gregor Robertson is a long time and vocal enemy of oil sands development and pipelines, at least for Canada. All of the Liberals seem cool with China having pipelines and abundant, cheap energy. Prime Minister Carney himself has investments in pipelines, coal, and natural gas plants in China, United Arab Emerites, India and what not, while calling for Canada’s oil sands and pipelines to be regulated and taxed out of existance in the name of reaching “net zero.” Gregor Robertson used his position as Mayor to relentlessly attack the Kinder Morgan pipeline. As Mayor he also passed regulations to ban the use of natural gas, forcing Vancouver residents and businesses to heat their homes and water with much more expensive electricty.

Robertson claimed he wanted to make Vancouver the “Greenest City in the world.” I doubt he accomplished that. I worked sanitation in Vancouver’s East Side during Gregor’s reign and the actual pollution was appalling. I worked ten hour shifts off of the back of a garbage truck, picking up thousands of needles, garbage, human feces, discarded clothes, etc…. and the area looked as bad when we finished as when we started. The job paid well, but seemed hopeless. Gregor liked it that way. He called Insite, Vancouver’s taxpayer funded “safe” injection site, “crucial to this city.” My garbage truck literally drove behind Insite and they were the source of nearly 100% of the used needles I picked up off the ground and their clients were the source of most of the garbage and human feces we had to pick up.

Gregor did manage on making Vancouver one of the most expensive cities in the world. In addition to making already expensive energy costs more expensive, property taxes went up 141 % when he was mayor. In addition to that Robertson absolutely ignored and enabled a massive money laundering operation in Vancouver as corrupt Chinese business tychoons, communist party officials, and fentanyl traffickers purchased homes and in some cases just left them vacant as a way to park their money. This one act, more than his so-called “green” energy policies and tax and spend economics drove Vancouver homes beyond the reach of the vast majority of Canadians.

In addition to championing pseudo-environmental policies that would destroy Canada’s resource industry Gregor was also a vocal champion of legalizing hard drugs. It was under Gregor Robertson’s tenure as Mayor that Fentanyl became the number one cause of death for young people in his city, causing more fatalities than homicides, suicides, accidents and natural causes combined. Gregor Robertson refused to consider law enforcement options, nor would he name China as the source of Canada’s opiod epidemic. Gregor advocated legalizing hard drugs and taxpayer funded so-called “harm reduction.”

Strangely, with Gregor’s rather public track record of housing unaffordability, close ties to the Chinese Communist Party, not to mention his opposition to Canadian energy and his advocacy for legalized hard drugs; Carney appointed Gregor Robertson to his cabinet as Minister of Housing.

Perhaps the biggest indicator Mark Carney is moderate on nothing and is keeping the Liberal Party aligned with the hard left, it would be his decision to make Julie Dabrusin his Minister of Environment and so-called Climate Change.

Julie Dabrusin like Evan Solomon is urban, far left, and Jewish. Her voting record as a member of Parliament is terrible. Of course she supports abortion on demand and marches in unGodly Pride parades, but her voting record and advocacy is more radical than that. Dabrusin was a strong advocate for Trudeau’s coercive vaccine mandates, supported using the Emergency Measures Act to crush non-violent Freedom Convoy protesters, voted for Trudeau’s euthanasia program and supported euthanasia for people who did not suffer serious health problems, other than being diagnosed with mental illness. Dabrusin supported Trudeau’s internet censorship bill, so-called hate speech bills, his program legalizing hard drugs in BC, and supported (along with Pollievre) sending mom, dad and the Christian counsellor to prison for the so-called crime of conversion therapy. Dabrusin supported Trudeau’s handgun ban, and is a vocal supporter the her government’s plan to confiscate firearms from lawful gun owners. Dabrusin’s opposition to the oil sands and pipelines is absolutely antithetical to the interests of Alberta and will have a profoundly negative impact on all of Canada’s economy.

This is Julie Dabrusin in 2020 speaking about the need to destroy major oil sands projects and thereby destroy Alberta’s economy. Dabrusin claims she is saving the planet from so-called climate change by opposing oil sands development and pipelines. The reality is Dabrusin and her Liberal government has had zero impact on the world’s climate and they will have no impact on the climate either good or bad under Mark Carney.

Prime Minister Trudeau’s, Dabrusin’s and Guilbeault’s so-called “climate” policies have had a very tangible effect on Alberta’s quality of life and it appears under Mark Carney these pseudo environmentalists will continue to have a profound effect.

When I arrived in Fort McMurray in June 2010, I walked into a $120,000 a year bus driving job within one hour of driving into the city limits. I didn’t know anyone, I had no connections. I simply handed my resume’ to Diversified Transportation and pending a drive test and proof of a reasonably clean driver’s abstract, I was hired on the spot to drive workers to and from their jobs in the oil sands.

My story was not unique. Tens of thousands of low income men and women from across Canada, some fresh out of prison with no job skills, others came from parts of Canada suffering from high unemployment, others came highly skilled and/or with post secondary degrees but wanted an even better life for their families; they all came to Fort McMurray and quickly attained middle class or upper class lifestyles for themselves and their families.

When I arrived in Fort McMurray there were no homeless encampaments. There was a homeless shelter downtown. Some locals suffering serious mental health or substance abuse issues found their way there from time to time and single men travelling to Fort McMurray looking for work who were broke would sometimes use the shelter until they got a paycheque, but the place was never full. No one had to remain there for very long if they did not want to. There were lots of work options, even for the marginal. For the extremely marginal who couldn’t or wouldn’t work, there were no waiting lists for subsidized housing back then. I remember a fellow from my church who seemed able bodied enough to me applied for disability and got it and then he applied for a subsidized apartment and got one and was able to move in to it the same week he applied. It seemed the people in charge of subsidized housing in Fort McMurray wanted him badly as a tenant to justify their existance as they had no one else to give the unit to.

After a few years of Liberal “climate policies” the weather more or less remains the same, but the abundant work and generous, easily accessable, government programs are gone. Tent cities have sprung up, long term homelessnes and unemployment is a thing, businesses have vanished, and thousands of people who were once prosperous and who call Fort McMurray their home are now living on the edge.

Dabrusin is a strong advocate of the policies that created this misery in Alberta and Mark Carney has made her his Minister of Environment. Carney’s words during the election are irrelevant, his actions clearly indicate he has no plans to build energy infrastructure. Mark Carney remains committed to speech restrictions, modern economic theory, and net zero. We are to own nothing and be happy or at least own nothing and keep our mouths shut.

“Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity,
offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly!
They have forsaken the Lord, they have despised the Holy One of Israel,
    they are utterly estranged. Why will you still be struck down? Why will you continue to rebel?
The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it,
but bruises and sores and raw wounds; they are not pressed out or bound up
    or softened with oil. Your country lies desolate; your cities are burned with fire;
in your very presence foreigners devour your land;
    it is desolate, as overthrown by foreigners.
And the daughter of Zion is left like a booth in a vineyard,
like a lodge in a cucumber field, like a besieged city. If the Lord of hosts had not left us a few survivors, we should have been like Sodom,
    and become like Gomorrah.” Isaiah 1:4-9

The Prophet Isaiah prophecied Israel’s destruction at the hands of a foreign army around 750 BC because of their idolatry and sin. Just over a century later the judgment was carried out by the Babylonians. Jerusalem was burned to the ground and those who survived were carried off to captivity just as the prophet warned. Can Canadians learn anything from the prophecies of Isaiah?

I honestly believe we in Alberta and we in Canada got to this place as a result of turning our backs on God. In our state of unbelief, we have embraced quite a long list of practices that are contrary to God’s will for us. Unbelief does not mean an absence of religion. God created us and indeed we are spiritual. Even professed atheists will believe in something, whether it is New Age, Communism, self, or Net Zero. We will hold to something as an article of faith.

Dabrusin, Carney and Solomon may scoff at the claim that Jesus Christ rose from the dead and that He sits at the right hand of God and that He will return to judge the living and the dead. I know these claims are true. I can even point to history and ancient source documents written by a Roman historian who was alive when Jesus walked the earth to bolster my belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Yet, the Carneys, Solomans and Dabrusins of this world will dismiss my belief as nonsense and may even find some of the values formed because my belief in the resurrected Christ to be so obnoxious they would feel the need to pass laws to silence and suppress those values.

Yet, all three of them have faith. I think Dabrusin, like Solomon would describe herself as a non-religious Jew. Mark Carney calls himself Catholic, but his personal life, writings, and political actions seem more agnostic or diestic, rather than explicitly Christian. Mark Carney’s book “Value(s): Building a Better World for All.” references Pope Francis, but does not mention God. Carney supports abortion on demand, gender ideology and globalism. It does not appear that a genuine belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ impacts Carney’s thinking. Neither Carney, nor Dabrusin, nor Solomon seem terribly religious in the traditional sense, yet all three practice religion and their religion has dogmatic articles of faith.

I found this picture of Julie practicing the tenets of a religion practiced by her, Carney, Solomon and likely everyone else in Carney’s cabinet.

Carney, Dabrusin and Solomon believe as an article of faith “trans women are real women.” Unlike Christianity that can make an apologetic based on history and archeology, gender theory is based on absolutely nothing, except the bullying and cancelling of those who choose not to worship at the altar. Their apologetic is little more than the subjective claims of the gender confused that they feel like they are the sex other than what they are born, and spurious claims that we have to believe the claims of this religion or it’s cross dressing practitioners will commit suicide and it will be the unbeliever’s fault.

“Climate change is an existential threat. We all recognize that, and there’s increasing urgency around it.” Mark Carney

Climate alarmism, like gender theory is a religion. The adherents of this religion like to chant “the science is settled” and not a few scientists and academics are adherents to this cult, but the science is far from settled. Those of us who follow this cult closely know much of the “consensus” is coerced. Scientists who dissent are cancelled, they lose their research grants and their careers are ruined. Many of the most apocolyptic claims are fraudulent at worst and are often provably wrong with time.

During the 2003 drought in Alberta I remember a meteorologist on Edmonton CBC showed a map that was yellow from the Rockies to Northern Ontario. She claimed the 2003 drought was evidence of “man made climate change” and if drastic action wasn’t taken immediately she predicted Canada would be a “desert from the Rockies to the Canadian Shield.” The CBC meteorologist’s bold claim caught my attention and I was skeptical. But her prediction stuck with me and I filed it in my mind. A few years later I also filed in my mind the climate cult priestess Alexandria Ocasio Cortez’s dire warning in 2019 that the world would end in 12 years due to man made climate change.

I waited the ten years from the summer of 2003 to the summer of 2013. Canada’s carbon dioxide emmissions did not decrease, and the CBC meteorologist’s claim of a permanent desert did not come to pass. In fact I was in south east Saskatchewan during the summer of 2013 (right in the middle of what was supposed to be the meteorologist’s alleged desert) and many of the canola and wheat fields were under water. I looked at one field near Stoughton SK, and two red necks were out in the canola field with a motor boat water skiing. When I turned on CBC Saskatchewan that summer no mention of their meteologist’s apocolyptic prediction of the entire prairies becoming a desert was made, but the widespread and severe flooding was according to CBC “evidence of man made climate change.”

Few know about the East Anglia climate scandal today. The legacy media went into overdrive to downplay the academic misconduct uncovered when hackers leaked the e-mails of climate scientists working in East Anglia in 2009 and ultimately buried the story. The fact is so-called climate scientists were caught manipulating data to make climate change seem worse than what it was and they manipulated data to make warm periods in times past, such as the midieval warm period disappear. Christians should not lie about our faith to gain converts. We don’t have to. We know the power of the Cross can change hearts and minds independant of our manipulation and persuasion. If the East Anglia scientists were so confident in their “settled science,” why did they have to manipulate their data to make their “science” seem more settled?

The fact is climate change and Net Zero is a religion and many Canadians believe it with a religious ferver. Religious belief is not without consequence. False belief can have serious consequences. The belief trans women are real women has real consequences. A vulnerable, homeless, deaf woman in Toronto who was forced to share a room with Christopher Hanbrook who claimed he was a trans woman to get access to the women’s shelter where she resided and who was subsequetly raped by him is a victim of this religious belief.

The climate religion has massive consequences that is affecting the lives of billions of people around the world. The religious tenet that we have to get rid of affordable and reliable energy sources (oil, coal, natural gas) and replace them with expensive and unreliable sources (wind, solar) to save the planet led to a massive blackout in western Europe recently that cost the economies of Spain, Portugal and France billions of dollars in damage, plunged tens of millions of people into darkness, and resulted in the loss of nearly a dozen lives. In spite of this warning sign that Europe needs reliable energy sources to function, the far left Spanish government remains committed to phasing out all of their nuclear and natural gas options and are hell bent to go all in on solar panels and wind turbines. Like true doctrinaire adherents of their religion, the leftist Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez accused “private energy operators” who were warning the government to not close nuclear power plants when no reliable energy alternative is available of causing the black out, rather than considering the obvious problem that their grid is unable to be reliable when it is entirely at the mercy of the fluctuations inherent to wind and sunshine energy production.

Mark Carney, like Pedro Sanchez is a loyal adherent to the religion of net zero. Canadians and Albertans in particular will continue to suffer financially as our God given resources are left in the ground and we are forced to rely on more expensive and less reliable sources of energy to heat our homes and run our economy.

In the near to medium term, I don’t have a positive prognosis for Canada. Zealots of man made ideologies/religions can ignore evidence and cause alot of damage before reassessing their dogmas. At the most extreme Mao murdered tens of millions of his fellow Chinese through completely unnecessary starvation as he expropriated farms, collectivised agriculture and imposed a massive industrialization on his people in the name of his “Great Leap Forward.”

Provinces like Alberta and Saskatchewan who have a more conservative population and fewer adherents to Mark Carney’s religion can try to mitigate some of the damage inflicted by Ottawa by pursuing greater autonomy. The complete breakup of Canada is a real possibility. In rural areas of Alberta support for separation is running at up to 60%, and the anger and outright hatred towards the federal government is palpable. Support is lower in the big cities of Calgary and Edmonton, but separatists are making inroads. City News Calgary reported a Leger poll showing support for separation is at 30% in the city, which is higher than at any other time since Alberta became a province.

This separatist movement is not something I rejoice about. It is born out of the religious and Malthusian mindsets of Mark Carney and his predecessor Justin Trudeau, and their contempt for conservative western values. Trudeau never showed magnanimity or even slight concern for the west, in regards to the damage his policies were doing to our way of life. Carney lied during the election and said he would show concern, especially when many eastern pundits realized they need pipelines and energy infrastructure to secure their economic wellbeing.

At one point during the election Carney said in Kelowna he would declare a national emergency, and potentially trample on constitutional rights to insure pipelines are built and Canada becomes an independant energy superpower. A few days later in Quebec, Carney promised a French language radio program he would never impose a pipeline the provincial government didn’t want (the majority of Quebec taxpayers are actually open to a pipeline). Both positions can’t be genuinely held by the man. Clearly his Cabinet picks and his own book and lifetime of work promoting ESG and globalist causes tells us the direction Carney will take in regards to Alberta’s (and indeed all of Canada’s) need for energy and natural resource development. Making a promise that Carney had no intention of keeping was fine to win the election. For the radical left the end justifies the means after all. But this lie might be the last one that will work for Carney in terms of hijacking Canada’s governing intitutions to advance his globalist agenda.

One positive trend I see amongst the freedom and independance movements is an openess to God. The rally I attended in Edmonton opened and closed with prayer. We need prayer now more than ever. An Alberta separation without God will create a utopia no more desirable than Mark Carney’s utopia of a non-binary, net zero, Canada. It would really be nice if the people of Toronto, Ottawa and Vacouver rose up and cast off their woke leaders and came to a realization that freedom of speech, economic freedom, freedom of religion, property rights, and resouce development, were fundamental to Canada’s well being. It would take a miracle for Canada’s urban elites to come to such a realization, but with God such a miracle could happen. If such a miracle did happen the push for separation would likely subside in the west. As it is all indicators are Carney’s government will likely continue to push the country towards energy poverty, massive deficits, and a further erosion of fundamental freedoms. In this scenario Alberta needs to do what it has to do to defend the interests of its own people.
