Narcissus's Fruitless & Unhappy End
In Greek mythology, Narcissus was a handsome youth who one day happened to see his own reflection in a pool of water and fell in love with himself. Naturally the relationship produced nothing. Unable to pull himself away from the pool, Narcissus eventually died of thirst and starvation.
I thought of Narcissus’s fruitless and unhappy end when I saw the news that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation today. Since becoming prime minister in 2015, Trudeau has embraced trendy globalist policies such as a carbon tax, mass immigration to Canada, and a COVID-19 vaccine mandate. When Canadian truckers protested the mandate in Ottawa in 2022, Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act and froze their bank accounts.

Here is a concluding thought not raised in legacy media, as the PM prepares his next world tour to Australia and beyond. There is a recognizable pattern to the manner in which Mark Carney unilaterally makes international commitments, whether it be signed agreements, MOUs, or consensual arrangements. In essence, Carney is flying solo – adhering to his own counsel and working with his own network. Without parliamentary debate or public discussion, and one can surmise without even the Liberal caucus knowledge, Carney is forging ahead to sign significant international agreements. These agreements are profoundly realigning Canada’s place in the global community and its standing with its traditional allies. As Canadians will come to appreciate in the passing of time, the devil is sure to be in the details of those CCP, Qatar, and EU agreements.
