Mark Carney: One Year In — Canadians Give Their Honest Verdict🎬

FUND THE RESISTANCE Patreon

🍁 One year ago today — March 14, 2025 — Mark Carney was

sworn in as Canada's 24th Prime Minister.

No more political honeymoon. No more benefit of the doubt.

The Canadian Drain is here to give you the honest verdict —

straight from the Canadians who actually put him in power.

📊 WHERE THINGS ACTUALLY STAND:

✅ 42% of Canadians say the country is headed in the

right direction — 45% say it's on the wrong track

✅ 58% of Canadians say they are satisfied with the

Liberal government's performance — up 9 points

since December 2025

✅ 59% approve of Carney personally — but only 24%

of Conservative voters agree

✅ Liberals lead nationally by 6 points — but a majority

government remains out of reach

✅ Carney has spent 68 days outside Canada — 20% of

his entire first year in office

✅ THE WINS:

— Killed the consumer carbon tax immediately

— Met the 2% NATO defence spending target in 2026

— Secured a China trade deal — slashing canola tariffs

from 85% to 15% and opening a $4 billion market

— $70 billion UAE investment agreement

— Canada-Indonesia free trade deal — first with an ASEAN nation

— Recognized Palestinian statehood at the UN

— Standing ovation at Davos

— Restored diplomatic relations with India after

years of tension

— Kept child care, dental care and the Canada Child Benefit

— Launched Alberta pipeline MOU with Danielle Smith

❌ THE CRITICISM:

— Reversed 15 of Trudeau's signature policies —

critics say he shuffled his feet toward the centre

rather than making bold course corrections

— Slashed international student permits by 49%

— Killed the EV mandate — then made a China EV

trade deal that environmentalists say makes

no sense without it

— Pipeline MOU drew immediate resignation from

environment minister Steven Guilbeault

— Criticized for human rights silence on China visit

— UAE deal drew criticism over links to Sudan atrocities

— Critics argue his 26 foreign trips have produced

more promises than tangible trade results

— Housing affordability remains a crisis

— Cost of living still hammering everyday Canadians

🇺🇸 THE TRUMP FACTOR:

Make no mistake — Carney's approval numbers don't exist

in a vacuum. When voters believe the biggest threats to

their lives come from abroad rather than their own

government, they evaluate leaders very differently —

less focused on disruption, more focused on competence,

stability and judgment.

Trump's tariffs. Annexation threats. The Iran war.

The collapse of the U.S. as a reliable partner.

Carney didn't just benefit from the contrast with Trump —

he built his entire brand around it.

He told Canadians: "Canada is more vulnerable and under

greater threat now than we have been since 1812."

Was that leadership — or was it fear-mongering that

conveniently kept his numbers up while the real

problems at home went unsolved?

The Canadians on this show have thoughts.

And they are not holding back.
