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.

    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

      I am not interested in appeasing Trump as you suggest It’s time to isolate and neutralize the US because they are unreliable and a danger to the world.

      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.
