Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is proud as the first PM to never previously experience running for office. But the rest of us can use this fact to explain his bombastic yet untested, mad theories. To rise without apparent effort might cause one to experience Narcissus-like infatuation with the relief in the mirror, no? Consider this newspaper headline from yesterday: ‘Canada has prepared for the unthinkable: A military attack by the US’.
But according to biblical historians, when Babylon's Nebuchadnezzar announced he’d built the world’s greatest empire, his next move was falling to earth while eating grass like a cow. This disorder is known as Boanthropy, a psychological disorder in which the sufferer believes he is a cow or ox, according to the Pharmaceutical Journal.
But in terms of madness, the fact Carney boasts about planning to invade America means his brain has already gone soft. This was diagnosed in Friedrich Nietzsche as "softening of the brain", or Gehirnerweichung. A fascinating essay in 'Big Thinks' poses this question:
The fact is, when Carney lashes out into fantasy claims, like his macho threats against America, we must ask the same questions.
And although Nebuchadnezzar built the preeminent empire of his age, we are told his ego helped lead him into 7 years of insanity. How much less does Carney’s modest Canada have to justify his startling egoism? Consider, the United States Armed Forces are roughly 20 times larger than the Canadian Armed Forces by active personnel count. Active-Duty Personnel: United States: About 1.3 million to 1.4 million active personnel. Canada: About 65,000 to 68,000 active personnel. This site covers the summary of America’s colossal superiority over Canada, in every conceivable military fashion.
Mark Carney, is a Catholic, who seemingly dreams of a Godless One-World Government. His background is US Ivy League. The cocky Canuck plans the following: “Carney outlines how he intends to build a closer economic relationship with China as a hedge against Canadian dependency on the United States. Given the statements made by Carney in Beijing, this does not come as a surprise; however, it is the expressed open intent to further attach Canada to China that should raise eyebrows.”
Sadly, Carney prefers to join the European Union despite the fact America is many times more efficient and successful in our marketplaces as opposed to the EU. And Carney embraces China. This all illustrates the idea that Carney wants to grow Canada away from and beyond America. But is this the best direction for Canadians? Most disturbing is Canada’s Bill C-9, Carney’s attempts to break Canadian rights and introduce casual tyranny up north.
An unbiased Ai summary describes Bill C-9, officially known as the Combatting Hate Act, is a Canadian law amending the Criminal Code to strengthen protections against hate-motivated crimes and public intimidation. It received Royal Assent on June 18, 2026, and came into force on July 18, 2026.
In brief, critics complain how Bill C-9 outlaws Conservative or Libertarian thought, outlaws use of the word GOD, and lets Canadian government shutter papers or broadcasts. Meanwhile, PM Carney labors behind the canard that he is a Conservative in many ways.
So, while Carney basks in his macho war talk against the US, consider how his predecessor Nebuchadnezzar was forewarned of mental collapse before his arrogance finally led to his collapse. This ancient king spent 7 years learning his lessons before finally accepting the God of the universe. But in Canada, God cannot even be discussed. So is there any hope for Mark Carney? Meanwhile, any Americans poisoned by TDS better avoid a Canadian transition, if you care about your own Constitution & Bill of Rights!
The following is the 4th Chapter of the Book of Daniel:
4 “Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied unto you.
2 I thought it good to show the signs and wonders that the High God hath wrought toward me.
3 How great are His signs! And how mighty are His wonders! His Kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and His dominion is from generation to generation.
4 “I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in mine house and flourishing in my palace.
5 I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
6 Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream.
7 Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers; and I told the dream before them, but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof.
8 But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and before him I told the dream, saying,
9 ‘O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen and the interpretation thereof.
10 Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed: I saw, and behold, a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great.
11 The tree grew and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth.
12 The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all. The beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed from it.
13 “‘I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from heaven.
14 He cried aloud and said thus: “Hew down the tree and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves and scatter his fruit; let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches.
15 Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth.
16 Let his heart be changed from man’s, and let a beast’s heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him.
17 This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones, with the intent that the living may know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever He will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.”
18 This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof, inasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation; but thou art able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.’”
19 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was stunned for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spoke and said, “Belteshazzar, let not the dream or the interpretation thereof trouble thee.” Belteshazzar answered and said, “My lord, the dream is for those who hate thee, and the interpretation thereof for thine enemies.
20 The tree that thou sawest, which grew and was strong, whose height reached unto the heaven and the sight thereof to all the earth,
21 whose leaves were fair and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all, under which the beasts of the field dwelt and upon whose branches the fowls of the heaven had their habitation—
22 it is thou, O king, who art grown and become strong; for thy greatness is grown and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.
23 And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven and saying, ‘Hew the tree down and destroy it, yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him’—
24 this is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king:
25 that they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen; and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee till thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever He will.
26 And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots, thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee after thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule.
27 Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee; and break off thy sins by righteousness and thine iniquities by showing mercy to the poor, that it may be a lengthening of thy tranquility.”
28 All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar.
29 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.
30 The king spoke and said, “Is not this great Babylon that I have built for the house of the kingdom, by the might of my power and for the honor of my majesty?”
31 While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, “O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken: The kingdom has departed from thee.
32 And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen. And seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever He will.”
33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar; and he was driven from men, and ate grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs had grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws.
34 “And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me. And I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored Him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His Kingdom is from generation to generation.
35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and He doeth according to His will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth. And none can stay His hand or say unto Him, ‘What doest Thou?’
36 At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honor and brightness returned unto me. And my counselors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.
37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all of whose works are truth, and His ways judgment. And those that walk in pride He is able to abase.”
