Dear Editor:
Is Prime Minister Mark Carney Canada’s version of former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris? The similarities of a few examples are striking.
Both were closely involved in creating national problems so neither can/could distance themselves from the failures of the Biden/Trudeau administrations. Both are against the oil industry and free speech and would allow the promotion of discriminating DEI policies. Both are/were supported by the same sycophantic legislators that voted for the decisions that have failed us for too many years.
Both are/were supposedly tied in the polls with their opposition. The polls will be/were proven wrong. Both are/were supported by the mainstream media who ignore the huge successful rallies of their opposition.
Poilievre is different from Trump in his support of a national health care system, is not erratic and bombastic, and has no intention of controlling the world. Poilievre will also slash the $1.5-billion government subsidy to the CBC with its dwindling viewership.
When Poilievre becomes prime minister and repeals Bill C-69 and other anti-oil legislation, the 25% of Albertans who favour separation from Canada or joining the U.S. will have no reason to do either.
I predict that in the next few weeks, and especially after the debate, when the undecided voters learn more about Poilievre’s policies, that Carney’s Liberals will be decimated like the Harris Democrats in the U.S. and that the conservative-minded voters will give Poilievre the support he needs to win.

*Editor’s note: Neither Harris nor Carney have indicated they are “against” free speech. Most current election polls have Poilievre trailing Carney. Poilievre has stated he wants to maintain the CBC’s French-language programming.
