Mark Carney Represents the Sickness, the Emptiness, of Canada

 

I never held out high hopes for Mark Carney.  He said one or two things in the past that caused me to think he'd be a much better prime minister than he's turned out to be.  But those were just idle musings.  The difference between thinking "He might" and "I wish."

But in practice, Carney has been a disaster.  A self-important, delusional, ruthless servant of oligopoly.  Even when he made his big speech at Davos, about "middle powers" aligning with other such nations to pursue their "values" I knew it was bullshit.  He was still supporting Israeli imperialism and genocide to the hilt.

Carney, the human being, is intelligent enough to have a tenuous grasp of what is right and what is wrong.  But in practice, in his day-to-day life, he obviously can't differentiate between ideology, dogmatism, delusion, corruption and evil.

Whether we like it or not, Canada is founded on theft and colonialism.  Canada was a settler colony of the British Empire and now we are an appendage of US imperialism.  We remain saturated with the barbarism and obscurantism of religion.  We are capitalist, at a time when capitalism has become a bloated, stinking, psychotic ideology.  We've long been one of the staunchest supporters of the fascist (which implies racist) Zionist movement.

This is a sick, ignorant, deluded, corrupt, inhuman culture with nothing worthwhile at its core, aside from the rudiments of failed attempts to implement the rule of law, representative government, democracy or human rights.  Those faint gleamings can barely be recognized under the pile of shit that explains why Mark Carney is behaving like stephen harper.
