Mark Carney's 'Fantastic' Riots
Smashed windows, burning cars & hundreds of injured police: 'Some of the best riots I've seen.'
In a few days, Mark Carney may become our elected Prime Minister. I’ve previously discussed his undisguised hostility toward the trucker protest of early 2022. He wanted those peaceful, joyful demonstrators punished. He called them seditious. He smeared them, demonized them, and demanded the full force of the law be used against them (see here, here, and here).
At the time, Mr Carney had no need to make those remarks. A journalist didn’t catch him unawares. Rather, he wrote down all of this ill will and published it in a national newspaper.
How strange to discover that this same man is, in fact, a fan of violent protest. Of riots in which police are attacked, cars are set on fire, and supermarket windows are smashed. We know this because he’s on video 14 months prior to the Convoy laughing and joking about the 2017 Hamburg Summit, which he describes as one of the highlights of his career.
The context was this: he was being fêted, recognized with a Global Citizen Award. Having just spent 30 minutes listening to people talk about how wonderful he is, Mr Carney was by then relaxed and jovial. He said the Summit had accomplished important things. He wasn’t remembering it fondly, he joked
because of the riots - which were fantastic. I have to say, they were like some of the best riots I’ve seen at a G20.
According to a Grok summary, 476 police officers were injured during those three days of rioting - many from bottles and stones hurled at them by the protesters. Some suffered eye injuries from firecrackers, and two helicopter pilots were “treated for eye damage after being targeted with lasers.”
The startling video clip above was posted on X last week by Larry Brock, a Conservative MP who is hoping to be re-elected. Since then, some people have said it’s fake. But it is not.
I’ve located the full video on YouTube. If you click below, you can see and hear Mr Carney in his own words. I’ve cued the video to the 39:10-minute mark, but feel free to listen to what was said before and afterward.
Peaceful truckers? Crush ‘em.
Violent rioters? They’re fantastic!
God help Canada. You don't deserve this terrorist as a Prime Minister.
