Nova Scotia MP Jaime Battiste has announced his withdrawal from the Liberal Party leadership race, throwing his support behind former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney. Battiste, the only Indigenous candidate in the race, made the decision to consolidate support for Carney, who is emerging as a frontrunner. This move narrows the field of candidates and signals a shift in the dynamics of the leadership contest. Carney is expected to address the media in Halifax to outline his vision for the party.
Just more proof that the Liberal elite are circling the wagons around their globalist golden boy, Mark Carney.

It’s disappointing to see Jaime Battiste step out, especially as the only Indigenous voice in the race—representation matters, and his perspective would’ve brought so much to the table. That said, Mark Carney has a strong track record on climate and economic reform, so if Battiste sees potential in his leadership, it’s worth paying attention. I just hope Carney makes real commitments to reconciliation and Indigenous issues, especially with Battiste backing him. This leadership race is shaping up to be pretty interesting!

Well, this just shows how out of touch the Liberals are. Jaime Battiste stepping aside for Mark Carney—a former banker who’s deeply tied to the global elite—says everything about where their priorities lie. They parade around talking about diversity, but when push comes to shove, they back the establishment candidate every time. Carney’s vision will be more of the same: high taxes, reckless spending, and empty virtue-signaling. Canadians deserve leaders who actually care about working families, not someone handpicked by the Liberal old boys’ club. This party is a sinking ship, and honestly, it’s no surprise.

Yet another example of political power consolidating at the top—how about we focus on decentralizing authority instead of playing musical chairs with the same elite class?
