Canada's Liberal Party has elected Mark Carney as its new leader, meaning he will soon replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the nation's top office following Trudeau's announcement January that he would be stepping down.

Canada’s Conservative Party is now in conclave with the IDU and meddlers from the GOP, trying to come up with a way to make Poilievre, a career politician and disciple of Canada-hating Harper, look better than Carney…
Hey you’re looking for a few Americans I fucking hate this place over here. Republicans suck. I served 37 years in the Marine Corps and it feels like a waste of fucking time, if you want an old veteran let me know fuck do you arse
We had a strong leader like Carney once. His name was Barack Obama. Then outsiders used psychological warfare to turn the opposing party into rabid animals destroying everything good he did. Now we have a fascist. Don’t follow the same path. Remember that Austria greeted Hitler with open arms.
I hated Trudeau. I hate pollievere and Singh even more. Finally as a Canadian it feels like there is a grown up in politics in Canada. It's been a long time.
Congratulations! Chapeau! Felicitations! @mark-carney.bsky.social Elbows up! Go Canada and say a little prayer for ‘We The People’ of The United States!” @cbcnews.ca @thestar.com @canadienshub.bsky.social @mtlgazette.bsky.social @azbrittney.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com
UM, NO! What happen was Mark Carney was Elected to be the Head of the Liberal Party, NOT THE NEW PRIME MINISTER! The Federal Canadian Elections still haven't happened yet.
Right wing party was up by 23 points before Donald Trumpsky became a global embarrassment. Thanks MAGA morons for making every day suck for everyone including MAGA vets.
Two women and two men (including Carney) ran. In this moment, I think Carney was a good choice tho I love Freeland - Freeland and Trump hate each other, so it wouldn’t have helped us.
Our Trump equivalent is Pierre Poilievre, who is endorsed by Elon. We do NOT want him to be PM and we do NOT want Elon having his paws anywhere near us.

“Mark Joseph Carney OC is a Canadian economist and politician who has been the prime minister–designate of Canada since March 9, 2025 following his election as leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. “Wikipedia
FYI this was NOT the federal election. Liberal Party members who registered to vote for the next leader voted to select the new party leader. Because Liberals are the governing party Carney is now PM. Federal election will be coming up some time between now and Oct. And hopefully Carney wins that.
Justin Trudeau, a Liberal, resigned on Jan 6 2025 as his party lagged behind the Conservative Party of Canada. He remains Prime Minister of Canada until Marc Carney officially becomes Prime Minister, probably next Wednesday. There will be an election sooner (March 24 ?) rather later.
Good. He is the best man to handle tariffs and economic hardship (worked on brexit and other things) and the polls are saying with him as the leader, there's 75% chances he will defeat the right wing mini trump we have
Trudeau is no longer the PM. Mark Carney is now the PM and will take the reigns tomorrow. No transition period because Trudeau's resignation was effective as soon as the new leader was elected.
That's incorrect. The transition date hasn't even been set; therefore, Trudeau is still our PM until a transition date is set. That could be days or weeks.
And? Carney is not the PM yet. From CBC 58 minutes ago: "Carney is not the prime minister yet. He’s the prime minister-designate. We don’t know exactly when he’ll be sworn into office, but it will very likely be in the next few days."
If I’m not mistaken, he is the guy who stopped Canadian banks from getting into default swaps and why Canada did not feel the 2008 collapse nearly as much as we did, if at all. Good job Canada.
Him and our banking regulations which were already in-place, and that conservatives desperately wanted to shred. Or did they want to shred them just before Covid? Or both?
I dunno. Point is, regulating banks to act responsibly and withstand financial crisis is great. US could learn from us.
That’s right. I remember reading about the whole default swaps shit and the reason why Canada never bought into it is because no one understood it and it made no sense. Brilliant.
Competent guy. He also helped the UK during Brexit. Carney is obviously good at crisis management and because of crazy Trump, that's exactly what Canada will need during the next 4 years. Now Liberals just need to beat Conservatives and we may just sail through this mess.
Strangely, we do have King of England, King Charles III... However, our king does respect the Canadian constitution...unlike some king wannabe south of our border.
He did save Canada from subprime housing collapse. As a result of international confident, a financial model for the world. As a result, the Canadian dollar climbed above the US dollar.
Good thing. He is an economist who worked on brexit, he is incredibly educated and also pro environment and pro supporting poor and middle class
I am very confident he will do great 👍🏻
Yes! That's why I have been feeling a sense of familiarity in regards to my gut reaction to Carney. He brings relief to my constant anxiety about this crazy world
I was just wondering if trump is here to show the USA to get their shit together
Love each other
Get rid of the fascists
And come out stronger and more united
This is my wish for the States
I’m not one to believe in divine intervention, or whatever, to show anyone how to be a decent human. I think that’s a choice adults should be able to make on their own. A greater percentage chose the rapist psychopath. Maybe the backlash will be educational to the idiot contingent that voted for him
See how 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘺 it is to change 𝘰𝘶𝘳 party leaders in 🍁Canada?
Anyone who wanted to vote could register with the Liberal Party online and vote on line.
Also, the 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘺 of a multi-party system (more than two) is that quite often there is a minority government where no party has over 50% of the seats. 👇
Two advantages of a minority government as Canada has now is that parties must cooperate formally (which rarely happens) or informally, as the Liberals and New Democrats have maintained for a couple of years.
We got dental added to our universal healthcare because of that multi party cooperation! 👇
The other advantage is that a minority government can be ended with a single nonconfidence vote from more the 50% of the House of Parliament.
This'll happen soon in Canada now that the Liberal leadership race is over.
t*u*p's mayhem and chaos have given the Liberals a much needed boost in the polls.
His book description:
A bold and urgent argument by economist and former bank governor Mark Carney on the radical, foundational change that is required if we are to build an economy and society based not on market values but on human values.
The house of cards is crumbling. A hillbilly over on TikTok showed mathematically how the new First Lady crated the biggest Ponzi scheme. It was beautiful to watch. He is not the richest man nor a genius and really does not understand how consciousness works, at all https://youtu.be/sPzJjNQaYEA
We're in good hands. Ignore the people who don't understand the leadership process. These votes were cast by registered Liberal Party members who registered to be eligible in selecting the leader. That's how it works. This wasn't a federal election. That will come. And hopefully Carney wins.
Congratulations @mark-carney.bsky.social , Prime Minister🇨🇦 designate
& thanks Jeff Douglas for “no we are not the 51st State” edition as Jeff Canadian🇨🇦 #TheTrueNorth🇨🇦 #StrongandFree🇨🇦 #OhCanada🇨🇦 we stand on guard for thee. And love our friends and neighbors🇺🇸 who #StandwithCanada🇨🇦 https://youtu.be/_OzbmriDgQc
I’m very excited about this. He will trounce PP and annihilate trump. Things are looking up. Thank you PM Justin Trudeau. You’ve protected us from the orange stain since the nut bar took office. 🇨🇦
Every debate in every riding moving forward has to begin with the Liberal candidate talking about how Poilievre refuses to get a security clearance and that Elon Musk supports him. Throw that back in every Conservatives face when they talk about the Liberals.
I agree but at the same time I wonder if Canadian liberals are making the same mistake as US democrats in speaking above the heads of the common people.
Canadians are better educated, but many get their news from questionable sources and don’t bother to verify. It’s going to be an all-hands on deck campaign. So my only comment to the Cons is: We’ll talk when your boy gets his security clearance.
Yes, and show endless clips of the little weasel hanging out with the Ottawa convoy thugs and bringing them coffee and donuts. Watching that on tv, my immediate thought was, "now that will make a good attack ad".
THE SMARTEST MAN IN THE MUTHAFKKN ROOM!!!!!
So damn proud to be a LIBERAL CANADIAN!!
Thank you Trudeau 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️ your courage and strength has been ADMIRABLE

''In fact we owe a debt of recognizance to Donald Trump, he has united us as never before. So I want to say THANK YOU to him and I think I will propose him for the Order of Canada...I’m just kidding.'' 🤣
#canadastrong #markcarney
He is an educated, experienced, professional with extensive credentials and contacts internationally.
A serious man with excellent leadership abilities.
He has no bankruptcies or scandals.
He has been an advisor to both major parties.
He is a polar opposite to Trump.
Carney is our man.
Just a clarification: Mark Carney won the race for leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, to replace Justin Trudeau.
There is yet to be a general election to determine if Polievre's Conservative Party or the Liberals will actually govern. This date will be announced once parliament is resumed.
That little weasel pp CANNOT must not become PM. He is owned by the IDU, a far right despicable group hellbent on installing authoritarian and yes, FASCIST, regimes across the globe. Canada will NEVER descend into fascism like America has. Hopefully diaperDonnie is removed very soon!
lol. Not sure but it was a good pick .. The song that played after his full speech is called ‘time to win’ by Down with Webster .. and it’s anyone’s guess who picked that 😅
Yes! Mark Carney is brilliant. I was shocked when Chrystia Freeland was a guest on Bill Mahr and was introduced as the presumptive replacement for Trudeau. I couldn't believe Canadians would pass on Carney who's a brilliant economist and will prove to be a formidable adversary to Trump.
Now, if only we could get Charlie Angus to take over the reigns of the NDP. That'd give the NDP a real shot when the election comes. PP & the Conservatives wouldn't stand a chance.
Gonna have get your hands dirty for that, maga is not a cult its now a feature, its a political party that's never going to go away unless you make it do so. Voting might not be enough.
Not until we have younger people willing to fight the fight in a way that does not end up in a new world war. Let the people who've been keeping things working for a while. At least until the orange clown is finally in the cold hard ground.
That was hilarious his friend Hilary Clinton was sick during the campaign .. They have medicine for that, no worries ..but they don't have medicine for stupid ( meaning Donald Trump)🤣
Im going to update
PM Mark Carney has been chosen
PM Justin Trudeau step down a few weeks ago
However, as the Canadian that he is did not burn that bridge and still fought for Canadians until they elected a new Prime Minister, which was chosen today as Mark Carney
I watched his acceptance speech and was very saddened by the way they now view the U.S. because of “Diaper Donny”. Hopefully once we rid our selves of the Orange Skid Mark they will be our bestest friends again. Seriously, it was depressing to hear.
I do not think it will come back. You like us, and then you fight us and disrespect us... and repeat. Each 4 years, we start over. Same thing on the world stage. Your country would need to stay stable for many terms to rebuild trust.
I might be wrong but it sounds like you have only seen the last few presidents we have had. Our countries don’t have this relationship normally. Yes, we had Trump 4 years ago. We impeached him 2x then when he barely left office we tried to put him in jail. All failed because of the amount of money
You have already lost all your guard rails. It will be long before things get better. Canada is only trying to protect itself by diversifying its trade.
Nah we still got tricks up our sleeves. There are still guardrails. Out of the 90+ lawsuits against him in just 50 days - he hasn’t won one yet even with his own judges. He just lost the first one to make it to the Supreme Court. They have to start paying USAID contracts again. Our courts are slow
He has around him and what he’s willing to sell off to get that money. Then we had people not show up to vote, Millions of legit votes thrown out, possibly interference in the actual election process, and of course Gerrymandering- that’s something Canada doesn’t deal with. We have no
“Let’s vote him out because we found out he sucks” ability. His party barely controls Congress so they won’t impeach their leader. We are working on removing him and there will be a new president and Congress. We Chang the guard every 2 years in Congress. Our government is always changing.
You should definitely boycott American products and cut off tourism but hating people from the states because of one man who we think is a joke… that seems a bit extreme. He was only elected by a VERY slim amount of votes and again because they literally cheated.
He's got to hit the ground running and make strong, possibly difficult choices. But he is the best man for the job and I think he will stand a far great chance against trump than Poilievre or even Trudeau did. Now to win the federal election.
Unfortunately Trump, like Putin, has no interest in facts or reality. He is a coward, forever trying to impress his dead father & he controls the most powerful army in the world. And right now that matters - a lot.
I won't be voting for the liberal party in my riding but he is probably one of the most qualified people we have had. He ran the Bank of Canada, appointed by the Concervative Prime Minister, and became the only non-citizen to run the Bank of England. He is smart.
I am. The liberals had some good leadership candidates but Carney has international finance experience as governor of Bank of Canada and Bank of England through Brexit. He is a very qualified candidate.
That was the most consistent thing I’ve read thus far, that he is brilliant with economics.
Obviously I’m not Canadian but he seems like he would be a good leader and he won’t bend the knee to Mango Mussolini. I’m happy for you guys.
I valued his work hx & voted for him. He’s no politician but IMO a great financial brain - Head of the Bank of Canada during the 2008 financial crisis and was largely trusted by politicians of all stripes. Then head of the Bank of England until Brexit - tried to keep the UK with the EU.
Im optimistic- voted for his financial acumen because we need that with a predatory government lurking close by. He’s used to assholes -UK Boris 🙄 and has good experience with wealth management so he’ll be good for those idiots Trump has employed. I hope he’s able to put them in their bloody place
So…fingers crossed. Still - we need an election and his win is far from guaranteed. His Conservative opponent keeps me awake at night-he’ll take us back decades. Trump lite but still Trump.
Hope all is good with you- best wishes from the apartment over the meth lab🇨🇦
That all sounds very promising. Sounds like someone who can defeat PP. And stand firm against the orange shitstain. I fear for Canada if PP succeeds but I'm hoping that the latest issues with the US push Canadian voters away from him. All good here except for an end of summer heatwave 🥵
They voted well. He was the best for the country and for dealing with Trump. Just watched Trudeau’s final speech. It was powerful, it’s like he just ripened in the last mth.
A:Trump hates him already
B:Trump has no idea who he is
C: He is already working on an insulting nickname.
D: His Presidential advisors are the 3 other guys in his foursome.
E:Barron Trump is currently working on an escape plan
They elected a guy whose specialty is government banking and is well-liked for his policies during the '08/'09 crisis and covid. Seems like the right person at the right time.
Also managed Brexit in the UK as their Governor of the Bank of England after his time as Governor of the Bank of Canada during the ‘08 Financial Crisis. He didn’t have anything to do with Covid other than outside advice.
He's not an unqualified banker man. He was the head of the Bank of Canada 2008-2012(ish?) and is the reason Canada was relatively untouched by the 2008 housing crisis / financial collapse in the US.
He was head of the Bank of England during Brexit.
Freeland is experienced, but lacks charisma, is not tough (she CAVED under Rosemary Barton grilling her, and that's a journalist), and she played dirty - Canadians don't like that.
I hope she stays as deputy, but its unlikely
The far-right PPC are barely a blip in Canada. I’m worried that he’s another compromise that’s going to backfire, like the Dems in the US pushing for transphobe Gavin Newsom to pull center-right votes because “just a little fascism is okay, right?”
The compromise to worry about is the CPC under Poiliviere, which has turned pretty far right . He was polling ahead before the US insanity. Polls are now slightly Libs in lead, and with Carney hopefully pulling far ahead with a majoritygovt. Freeland would not be able to accomplish that
PP = Pierre Poilievre the leader of the Conservative Party not the PPC. Until Trump they were projected to win in a landslide in this years federal election. Carney is the most favourable of the Libreral leaders in polls and looks to be positioned to really challenge PP and Cons for the government.
I think a lot of Americans think it's unfair to allow Trans Athletes compete in sports. Not just Newsom. But yeah, that was a mistake for him to say anything about that if he's hoping to run for the presidency. I agree. BTW, Biden was not Progressive enough for me. Still anything is better than MAGA
She would have had a better chance if she wasn't part of the Liberal party. But she was and that worked against her.
Also, before you assign Polievre's label of 'banker' to Carney, maybe read his book, Value(s), and reevaluate. Carney's values are impeccable.
Liberals made a great choice!
Mark got an unbelievable amount of support but I’d like to reiterate that I felt that all of the contenders are real talents and deserve the utmost respect.
I hope they stay on and help us, Canada, manage the tasks ahead.
FYI this was NOT the federal election. Liberal Party members who registered to vote for the next leader voted to select the new party leader. Because Liberals are the governing party Carney is now PM. Federal election will be coming up some time between now and Oct. And hopefully Carney wins that.
Yes, for now. There will be an election soon enough and, if everything goes to plan, he will trounce Pierre Poilievre and the Conservative Party. But there is still work to be done!
Not sure if you’re Canadian, but Carney had this in the bag from the time Trudeau announced his retirement. This was not a surprise to us Canucks. The real threat still exists in Poilievre and hopefully Carney will crush him!!
US citizen who has lived in Canada for over 15 years. I realize that Carney had it in the bag but I expected a closer race between Freeland and Carney.
I agree with you. I thought it would be closer, too. But it was clearly Carney from day one. And that’s good, but the true battle is still ahead of us, is all I’m saying.

Carney is here & he is Canada STRONG!!!!💪🏼🇨🇦💪🏼🇨🇦💪🏼🇨🇦💪🏼🇨🇦💪🏼🇨🇦💪🏼🇨🇦💪🏼🇨🇦💪🏼🇨🇦💪🏼
I encourage all of our southern neighbours to google Mark Carney and just imagine what Canada will do to keep our sovereign nation.

Fortunately, the opposition leader has no real world financial experience and is incredibly insincere and punchable.
Trudeau won 3 straight elections because the CPC has a habit of putting very unlikable & unqualified candidates forward.
Now fight for Canada like a god damn dog.
