Welcome to Carnada

Summary
Prime Minister Mark Carney epitomizes what author David Goodhart terms the “Anywheres”—a mobile elite prioritizing global governance over national or regional interests, writes Canadian poet and essayist David Solway. As such, Solway argues Carney’s policies align with supranational bodies (WEF, WHO, UN), clash with “Somewheres” (locally rooted citizens who tend to be more conservative) and passive “Unawares” (disengaged voters “who remain in thrall to the Anywheres”). The Somewheres and Anywheres formed Goodhart’s faultlines for mapping Brexit Britain’s divisions. Solway adds in the third distinction of “Unawares” for Canada.
According to Solway, it is the complacent “Unawares” who elected Carney without scrutinizing his globalist ties and he takes them to task. He further laments a populace that has prioritized state-managed “safety” over liberty, enabling Canada’s transformation into “Carnada”—a vassal state to undemocratic global entities. This complacency, he argues, emboldens Carney’s alliance with plutocratic oligarchs, NGO parasites, and ideological extremists to erode national sovereignty.
Solway frames Carney’s leadership as a catalyst for Alberta’s separatist momentum, and one that exposes the country’s fundamental rift between globalist centralization and regional self-determination. Queen’s University law professor Bruce Pardy’s Alberta Declaration of Independence crystallizes the province’s grievances, says Solway. The prairies reject Canada’s “deference to authority” ethos and advocate self-rule akin to U.S. states like Texas and Montana. The path forward suggested hinges on overcoming complacency and embracing the prairie provinces’ model of innovation and independence.
Alas, laments Solway, “It seems a plurality of Canadians are content to live in a country that would be more accurately named Carnada.”
