Canada held elections on Tuesday, and in a stunning development, Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party completed the comeback. While the conservatives did make gains compared to the last decade, left-winger Mark Carney will remain prime minister, and the bill is about to come due. 

After suffering under years of Trudeau's disastrous leadership, Canadians had a chance to change course. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, who was the odds-on favorite to win the election just a few months ago, had promised to lift his nation out of its decline, promoting personal and economic freedom.

The choice should have been clear. Instead, the voters of Canada decided that what they needed was an even more far-left lunatic to lead them. Needless to say, the results will be predictable, and I don't say that because I'm some kind of political savant, but because Carney has advertised all the destructive things he's going to do.

For example, in a recent statement, Carney pledged to "punish" Canadian companies that contribute to "climate change." 

What could possibly go wrong? I mean, it's not like Europe just experienced mass blackouts due to its obsession with renewables and "climate change" ideology. And I'm sure small businesses in Canada won't be harmed when the government seizes their assets because they weren't able to meet whatever ridiculous standards Carney and his party dream up. 

Meanwhile, after suggesting he might lift it during the campaign, Carney has now affirmed he will keep Trudeau's energy production cap in place, another "climate change" initiative. What does that mean? It means a sharp decrease in Canadian economic growth, along with 50,000 jobs lost by 2032. Oh yeah, and those disastrous carbon taxes? Carney is keeping those in place, too, along with a phased ban on gas-powered cars.

None of this should be surprising given that Carney is deeply financially invested in the "net zero" narrative. 

As for how the new Liberal coalition plans to spend taxpayer money, Carney has proposed over $130 billion in fiscal measures, including money toward diversity and equity programs as well as increased welfare. And I haven't even mentioned how culturally awful another Liberal-led government will be. Recall that it was Carney's party that coined the laughable "2SLGBTQI+" acronym because "LGBTQ" just wasn't enough. As for gender-affirming care? Canadian taxpayers will be paying for it now. 

In short, things are about to get very bad up north, and Canadian voters have no one left to blame but themselves. I understand that President Donald Trump's "51st state" trolling and his tariff policies helped push a wave of nationalism that Carney took advantage of. I just don't care. Voters are supposed to be adults who make rational decisions. They aren't supposed to vote to further destroy their nation because another country's president made fun of them. 

Over the next few years, as things get worse in Canada, no one in America should feel any sympathy. As their economy suffers, their jobs are lost, and their culture deteriorates, Canadians should be reminded that they chose this. What's done is done, and you can't save people who don't want to be saved. So let them suffer.
