Carney Wins. Canada Loses.

The system wasn’t saved tonight—it was signed over to the people who broke it.

Mark Carney has officially won the 2025 Canadian federal election.

And if you’re a young Canadian, if you’re a working Canadian, if you’re a Canadian who ever dreamed of owning a home, starting a family, or even just living without financial panic—tonight feels like a funeral.

Let’s not pretend otherwise: The country just chose the banker over the builder. The bureaucrat over the worker. The status quo over the change we desperately needed.

And it’s not just disappointing. It’s terrifying.

If You’re 18-40, This Election Was a Warning Shot

You will not own a home.

You will not afford groceries easily.

You will not go through life without seeing Canada’s standard of living fall year after year.

Carney ran on “stability.” Here’s what “stability” looks like:

• Average home price still over $720,000 nationally (source)
• Grocery inflation holding steady at 4% per year, with no national plan to fix it (source)
• Student loan debt hitting record highs, while tuition quietly rises again
• Real wages stagnating, meaning you are making less every year when you factor in inflation

Carney says it’s a “cost of transition.”

Translation: You are the cost.

The Rich Are Going to Get Richer. The Rest of Us Are Going to Get Screwed.

Mark Carney isn’t a bad guy, we’re not going to pretend he’s evil, but he’s part of a machine that only knows how to manage wealth, not create it.

And in Canada, wealth creation meant something very specific:

• Land
• Homes
• Resources
• Freedom to build a life with your own hands

Now?

• Land is gobbled up by foreign investment and pension funds.
• Homes are financial assets traded like Pokémon cards.
• Resources are choked off by red tape and ideological purity tests.
• Freedom is taxed, licensed, and inflated into submission.

And if you complain you’re labeled “extreme,” “dangerous,” or “populist.”

They don’t just want you silent, they want you grateful while they tighten the noose.

The Future They’re Building Doesn’t Include You

You know what hurts the most?

It’s not just that Carney won.

It’s that the system knew how scared you were—and it didn’t care.

The system knew:

• You’re terrified you’ll never afford a family.
• You’re exhausted by rent hikes and two-job hustles.
• You’re furious at a government that spends $40 billion behind closed doors while telling you there’s no money for food banks.

And instead of change, they handed you the same broken politics wrapped in a prettier suit. They told you to “accept reality.” But this isn’t reality. This is collapse.

The Faultline Take

We are not conspiracy theorists.

We are not extremists.

We are Canadians. And we are watching our country be strangled by arrogance, blindness, and greed.

Tonight, they won the election. But the anger they’re trying to bury? The hurt they’re trying to ignore? The fear that’s keeping you awake tonight? That’s not going anywhere.

There are two paths forward now:

• You accept it.
• Or you fight it—peacefully, legally, loudly, and relentlessly.

Faultline will be here telling the truth, documenting the decline, and ready for whatever comes next.

You’re not crazy for being scared. You’re awake. And now we get to decide what we do with that fear.
