Considering how much the liberals shot up in the polls after Trudeau announced his resignation, to the point that they went from rock bottom to out polling the conservatives within a couple weeks, I think Carney will win this election.

Poilievre is simply too close to Trump for comfort for many Canadians, so the more Trump fucks up the worse his chances get.

I wouldn't count those chickens just yet. The situation feels very reminiscent of what happened when Trudeau's father stood down in 1984 with the party floundering in the polls. Trudeau Sr. was succeeded by John Turner, a guy who wasn't an MP at the time but had a reputation as a financial wizard and managed to revive the party's polling position, only to completely bomb when it came to the actual election, leading to the Liberals barely scraping in as the second-largest party.

Then again, I'm fairly certain that Ronald Reagan never threatened to annex Canada, so that might make all the difference this time.

Mark Carney is the new leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, and as the leader of the party currently in power, will be the Prime Minister of Canada at least until the general election, replacing Justin Trudeau. 

Hopefully he'll be able to both navigate the trade war with Trump and solve some of Canada's more pressing domestic issues along the way, and if so, hopefully he'll be able to defeat the Conservatives led by Pierre Poilievre in the general election. I don't know much about Carney, but I do think Poilievre would be bad news.

So far, Carney has talked a good game about standing up to Trump and winning the trade war. I'm hoping he keeps that energy when he's in office. It's too easy to see Poilievre engaging in appeasement or even outright capitulation to Trump.

His speech was great and he was Governor of the Bank of Canada and Governor of the Bank of England so he seems like the perfect guy for the job at this moment in time in regards to America being a twat with tariffs, a sensible choice to combat that bullshit. I do think he should call the election ASAP because the Twitter bots/Far-Right idiots are already out in full force with disinformation and attacks against him, I think him taking the initiative could be a smart move rather than letting this nonsense build over months.

A lot of these morons are screaming about how he wasn't democratically elected by the public, like, bro, it's a goddamn parliamentary system, educate yourselves, Lmao. Musk is also going to try to interfere in another countries elections like he did with Germany/AfD and do it via Twitter. America is now the new threat to elections across the world and we all need to be prepared not just for Russian interreference but now American interference via the Republican owned Twitter.
