Mark Carney, Billion-Dollar Deals, and 50 Excuses — But What About Us?

 💥 Mark Carney, Billion-Dollar Deals, and 50 Excuses — But What About Us?

While Mark Carney travels the globe shaking hands with the wealthy and well-connected — jet-setting from conference to climate summit to power lunch — we’re left here in Canada asking the same painful question:

What is he doing for us — the people struggling just to survive?

$2 billion can be found for war in an instant.
Billions for weapons. Billions for banks.
But not a penny more for the hungry, the homeless, the hurting.

🧾 “50 Excuses” — A Song the Poor Know Too Well

You know that old Simon & Garfunkel tune, “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover”?
We rewrote it — because in BC and across Canada, we’ve heard 50 excuses why we can’t get help.

🎶

“Just cut the GST, Lee,
It’s not up to me, Dee,
Gotta slash disability, Marie—
And keep the budget tight.”

And so it goes.

💔 Tired, Hungry, Forgotten

We’re tired.
Tired of being told to wait.
Tired of photo ops while the GST credit disappears, food prices explode, and there’s nothing left in the fridge.

We’re tired of watching our friends and family exhaust themselves trying to help, when even they can barely afford rent.

We’re tired of being treated like a burden while the rich take tax breaks, bonuses, and billion-dollar bailouts.

📸 Stop the Photo Ops, Start Real Change

We don’t need another press conference.
We need rent relief.
We need food security.
We need dignity.

Mark Carney — you want to run this country? Prove it.

Stop hobnobbing with the global elite and come walk a mile in our shoes.

Try living a month on social assistance in BC.
Try explaining to your kids why you skipped dinner again.
Try calling every charity, every shelter, every food bank — and being told they’re full.

🗣️ We Speak for Ourselves Now

We’re organizing. We’re writing. We’re singing.

And we’re not going to be quiet anymore.

If you’ve had enough of the excuses, the photo ops, and the abandonment, share this.

Let’s build a future where no one is left behind — not for war, not for profit, not for political gain.
