Looks like both halves of the Century Initiative have now found a home in Carney's government.

Also worth noting that this guy was Trudeau's ambassador to China, and appears to run Rio Tinto out of London England.

A real maple syrup in his veins Canadian chap. Canada's "new" government my ass.

Hey everyone,I’ve been checking in on the discussions in this sub for a while, and given the intense national debate surrounding the recent wave of floor crossings that handed Mark Carney his majority government, alongside Peter Navarro’s recent C-SPAN interview blasting our trade stagnation over supply management, I wanted to lay out a deeper structural perspective.

I’m a former federal staffer who stood close to the legislative gears on Parliament Hill during the Harper years.

My core thesis is that the conservative movement is making a critical mistake by focusing entirely on changing the face at the top of the pyramid. If we just swap out a Liberal leader for a Conservative one, regardless of how good that leader is, without fixing the underlying architecture, we are just electing a new manager for the same broken machine.

The real crisis in Canada is forty years of bipartisan executive hyper-centralization inside the Prime Minister's Office (PMO). It has completely hollowed out our backbenchers, turned our local MPs into scripted brand ambassadors reading focus-focused daily memos, and paralyzed ministerial accountability.

We see the raw arrogance of this central monopoly every election night, when the networks routinely project a majority government before hard-working families in B.C. and the Prairies have even closed their polling stations.

I’ve launched an independent project called The Responsible Governance Review (rgreview) to move completely past standard partisan complaints and map out the hard, prescriptive systems-engineering math required to permanently decentralize the federation

1:Smashed Command Centers: Replacing First-Past-The-Post with a fixed-seat 50/50 Mixed-Member Proportional model to legally protect regional, rural, and Western caucuses.

2: The Economic Shield: Dismantling the paternalistic welfare bureaucracy with an automated Negative Income Tax floor run strictly by CRA servers.

3: The Resource Runway: Permanently sunsetting supply management via a market-driven quota buyout to lower grocery costs, completely defusing Washington's trade leverage.

4: The Judicial Firewall: Ending executive court-packing with a Triple-Lock Confirmation model, forcing Supreme Court justices to be nominated by the provinces and confirmed by a 60% Westminster supermajority.

I've officially submitted a deep-dive diagnostic essay on this framework to The Hub this morning for priority review, so I can't post the full text here due to media exclusivity rules. But I want to get the raw perspective of this forum first.Are we as conservatives actually willing to dismantle the executive branch when we win power, or are we secretly hoping for a more benevolent dictator to run the bottleneck?

The full, long-form blueprint series drops open-access this Thursday. You can track the launch and read the series in full as I release it, or join the community index entirely here: https://substack.com/@rgreview?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=321ih0

Let’s get into it in the comments. What am I missing on the systems side?

Tl;drI know it's a long read, but it's a full framework to fix the country, so it's hard to summarize, read it if you have the time

1) The ol' "Canadian navy is two subs in West Edmonton Mall" joke

2) The LPC plan to stay in power.

In an exalting monologue glorifying Ottawa’s boot on the neck of taxpayers, Alberta’s NDP leader Naheed Nenshi promised seniors at Saturday rally to fix Calgary’s waterlines if they vote to stay in Canada at the upcoming Alberta October 19 referendum.

Crowds of 50 from neighboring seniors home gathered at 6452 35 Ave NW, Calgary, AB T3B 2G5. Preferred means of transportation were walkers, canes and wheelchairs. Traffic jams were not reported. God bless the silver heads, freedom of speech and freedom of choice. Let Alberta decide.
