Summary
Mark Carney has been elected as the new Liberal Party leader in Canada with a commanding 85.9% of votes, following Justin Trudeau’s resignation.
The former Bank of Canada and Bank of England governor will become Canada’s 24th prime minister within days.
In his victory speech, Carney took aim at both Donald Trump and Canadian Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, vowing to maintain Canada’s tariffs until Americans “show us respect.”
Carney, despite never holding elected office, enters leadership as Canada faces trade tensions with the U.S. and a potential early election. He must secure a parliamentary seat and finalize the transition with Trudeau.
Congratulations. Now give us proportional representation, or step aside.
Lol, what you think the conservatives will give you this?
I think there are bigger fish to fry right now.
This guy has legit, real-world experience. He has accomplishments out there ass.
Let’s see if he has what it takes first.
And right now? There are bigger issues at stake.
Last I checked this was a Liberal leader race, not a Conservative race, chum. And it was the Liberal party that promised this. Independent of anything else going on, that promise is still on them.
How we vote is meaningless, if we wind up being a 51st state.
I WANT proportional rep. But, again, bigger fish to fry right now.
You’re right & if people don’t listen then I have a feeling Canada will end up a lot like America now under Trump.
