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.
Ah yes. Nothing says man for the people like an international bank leader.
Maybe it’s time we let people who know how to handle an economy run countries? It’s not like the alternatives have been that great so far.
Jesus fuck thank you.
I don’t want an administrator or mechanic removing my appendix.
I hate that he’s the best option now and I am actively working to dismantle and replace orphan crushing capitalism, but at least he has a resume that is worth hiring for the job. Singh just hasn’t been very effective.
I would never let toddlers near my oscillating saw nor Poilievre near the Bill of Rights. Everyone who knows Skippy hates Skippy.
He’ll handle the economy in favor of the rich.
The real weird part is he quit Brookfield’s ESG department to be the PM, and one of his only policies announced so far is to replace the carbon tax with a foreign emitters tariff style tax, and to allow them to buy carbon credits from company like Brookfield.
Which is known to be no more than greenwashing, as we are still the only county in the G7 without high speed rail, and he also supports mass immigration from low emitting country. Then there was talk of letting Brookfield manage Canadian pension system, its all very fishy.
We need a better economy and a way to fix things with Trump. This is a prime minister for at least until the elections in October 2025, could end before
Why do we have to fix anything with Trump? The dumb cunt has blacklisted Switzerland as having “unfair trade”, and has alienated Mexico, China and Canada … and that’s happened in less than 7 weeks!
Within 4 months he’s gonna have a shit ton of nations solidly against him, and the embargos will start happening.
Fuck him and everyone who supports him. They can rot in hell.
“Fix things with Trump” can mean anything including back the American people in overthrowing him.
Again, it almost another binary race
The alternative is Polievre.
Take however long you like and decide which you’d prefer between the two. Don’t trump us.
