Mark Carney won the race to become Canada’s next prime minister, putting the former central banker in charge of the country just as US President Donald Trump’s administration threatens its economic future.

I for one, on behalf of Californians, welcome our new Canadian overlords. And we don't even need to change the province abbreviation.
We look forward to Canadian snowbirds and kicking out the zonies. And I don't think anyone ever said this before about California, our houses are cheaper.
Good idea.
We in California love hockey. We play on roller blades, but we know the rules.🏒🥅⛸️
We also like good beer. We're totally not prepared for your winter weather, but we always come help with the fires when they get out of hand. and we are grateful for the help you send us as well! Canada 🍁🇨🇦
This is an excellent choice. Carney is a clear-minded and intelligent man who understands the big picture. He operates with an overarching set of values that he'll bring to this important point in Canada's economic and social issues.
Trumps isn't threatening Canada's economic future. He's threatwning and may cause some discomfort. You folks of all people should know that the u.s. cannot survive without Canada, on a whole lot of different levels. Their bluster isn't going to grow food, keep lights & heat on or fill gas tanks.
Good for you Canada! Rejecting right wing radical nuts for sensible governance is wonderful to see! Enjoy the peace a stable prime minister brings to your awesome country!
We aren’t quite at that point yet. Mark Carney was chosen as the leader of the Liberal Party, and for the next few weeks or months will be the Prime Minister, but a general election must take place by October. It has a scheduled date, but he can ask…
the Governor General to dissolve Parliament before then, and an election is called. Some are predicting it will be in May. I am pretty confident Carney will win, but it’s not a given.
We are required to have an election every 5 years, by that date in 2026, it is customary to have it every 4. We don't know yet when the new PM will call it. He is the PM designate and will be PM within days.
I expect Carney will call an election next week. There is no point in delaying because the Bloc and Conservatives will vote against any economic measures to help against tariffs so calling an election is the only option.
