The article discusses the strategy of 'flooding the zone' used by leaders like Steve Bannon and Donald Trump, illuminating how Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney mirrors this tactic. Post-election, Carney's administration has engaged in negotiations with Trump, pushing for increased border security and defense spending while simultaneously moving towards authoritarian-like governance. With significant policy changes like the expedited resource extraction in British Columbia and the omnibus Building Canada Act, Carney is facilitating corporate interests, raising concerns about the erosion of democracy and accountability in decision-making processes.
This political strategy aims to overwhelm institutions and courts, diminishing effective opposition and paving the way for rapid policy changes that challenge democratic norms.
Carney's approach echoes Trump's style, as he pushes through significant policy changes under the guise of national interest while limiting opposition and scrutiny.
