How Transnationalists Think – HotAir

By now you all know that I am an unabashed fan of Pierre Poilievre, so it would be easy to assume that this post in which I rip his Liberal opponent Mark Carney is about the Canadian election fast approaching. 





It really isn’t, although if you are a Canadian reader, I do say, ‘VOTE PIERRE!” Even though he has one of those Frenchie names, he is an amazing guy. Love him. 

But my purpose here is to use Carney as an example of a much larger phenomenon: the mind of a transnationalist. 

Carney is the prototypical globalist. Seriously, it’s hard to find a better example outside Klaus Schwab, and Schwab is sui generis. Only Schwab can pull of the Bond Villain look. 

Here is a quick and dirty bio of Carney from Wikipedia:

Mark Joseph Carney (born March 16, 1965) is a Canadian politician and economist who is serving as the 24th prime minister of Canada and leader of the Liberal Party of Canada since 2025. He previously served as the eighth governor of the Bank of Canada from 2008 to 2013 and the 120th governor of the Bank of England from 2013 to 2020.

Carney was born in Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, and raised in Edmonton, Alberta. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in economics from Harvard University in 1988, then studied at the University of Oxford, where he earned a master’s degree in 1993 and a doctorate in 1995. He held various roles at Goldman Sachs before joining the Bank of Canada as a deputy governor in 2003. In 2004, he was named as senior associate deputy minister for the Department of Finance Canada. In 2007, Carney was named Governor of the Bank of Canada, where he was responsible for Canadian monetary policy during the 2008 financial crisis. He led the Canadian central bank until 2013, when he was appointed as Governor of the Bank of England, where he led the British central bank’s response to Brexit and the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.

After leaving central banking, Carney served as chair and head of impact investing at Brookfield Asset Management and as chair of the board of directors for Bloomberg L.P.[3] He was also appointed the United Nations (UN) special envoy for climate action and finance.[4][5] Carney also worked as one of many informal advisors to Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau during the COVID-19 pandemic and was made chair of the Liberal Party’s economic growth taskforce in September 2024.





I mean, come on. The only thing he could add would be a stint as Ursula Von Der Leyen’s consort. Harvard, Oxford, Goldman Sachs, central banker for TWO countries, high-powered investor, United Nations Climate horse manure, parachuted in without even being a Member of Parliament to become Prime Minister. 

It’s a dream resume for a globalist. He is even rather pretty for a guy, although no Justin Trudeau in that respect. 

Carney has been an advisor to Trudeau, helping him set his policy agenda for five years, but his excuse for the Liberal Party’s failures is that he “just got here,” which is a rather odd thing for a man who wants to lead a country to say. 

“I was off in England and barely cared about Canada” is the sort of thing only a globalist would say and think it is a qualification for office.

That clip of him with the UN flag is from before his run, I believe (not sure of the exact date in which the clip was filmed, but it doesn’t matter really), but it is a great example of where his loyalties lie. He was born in Canada, but his allegiance is to the World. In fact, he spent the past several years advocating for Western countries to send a “wall of money” to developing countries because, well, they need it to push forward the agenda. 





His concern for the ordinary citizen–not citizens of Canada, of course, because who cares about borders anyway?–is subordinate to his globalist agenda. We should all kick in for the greater good, and silly little things like energy prices are irrelevant. After all, he can fly on private jets to resorts to plot how to make average people pay to create the globalist utopia. 

Think bigger than yourself. If you can’t get on board, there is always the option to euthanize yourself!

Short of killing yourself, the least you can do is shut up about your silly thoughts. In fact, we have a way to shut you up if you are not inclined to do so. 





A lot of upper-middle-class overeducated people think that “globalist” is a buzzword–we use it as a scare tactic to get the normies all worked up over nothing. The technocrats know what is best for us anyway. 

But the word is not just a rhetorical tool. It is a reflection of the underlying reality. Carney and his ilk may not hate their countries, but they don’t particularly like them either, and certainly don’t see why they should be particularly loyal to them. They imagine themselves as the rightful rulers of humanity as a whole, and borders as artificial boundaries that should fade away. 

It all sounds pretty to their ears, but the practical reality is that most countries are hostile or neutral about others. China doesn’t feel welcomed into some global community; they see globalists as useful idiots, and Westerners as prey.

There is a reason Realpolitik has “real” at the beginning. Gauzy idealism appeals to people insulated from the realities of the world until they get slapped in the face. 

The rest of us live in the real world all the time.
