I’ll say it plainly: Mark Carney is the right person for this moment, and the people losing their minds about it are proving exactly why. Canada is not weak. Canada does not “suck.” And we don’t need to burn our institutions to the ground because a loud minority is addicted to grievance politics. No leader is ever going to align with 100% of your beliefs, and that expectation isn’t principled, it’s childish. What matters is competence, stability, and understanding how power, markets, and geopolitics actually work. The nonstop “Canada is broken” rhetoric, born with the convoy and kept alive by Maple MAGA, is a gift-wrapped talking point for foreign interference. Undermine trust. Stoke resentment. Convince people their country isn’t worth defending. That’s the playbook. I’m done pretending that constant cynicism is patriotism. It isn’t. It’s destabilizing, unserious, and embarrassingly easy to manipulate. We don’t need louder outrage. We need adults who understand the stakes, and remember what it means to be Canadian.🍁
