Re: Mark Carney is the new leader of the Liberal Party of Canada
#22Sorry to hear this news. I don't want to spoil the party, but the bucking heads between both countries, especially as a border town dual-citizen, its only going to make living in the Canada that much more difficult for me. The US economy is 9x bigger and with a population of 45M vs. 325M+ - its crazy. Ontario dominates the political spectrum (just a point of fact, not of affiliation) it doesn't allow for collaboration across the provinces. BC and AB are booming, and Ontario just keeps stagnating their innovation trains and economic prosperity and we're likely to see this continue into the future as Toronto and Ottawa just dictate the population as a whole from a central "neck of the woods" thinking.
God save the King, but at what cost?!
Love you Americans. I'm sorry, we're assholes when it comes to nationalism sometimes, but its just going to be difficult for a few years for us.

Canada is a top 10 country by GDP, I think they'll be fine.

#24Note that he’s only Prime Minister temporarily. He’s replacing Trudeau and will call elections soon (must be before October) and will go up against Poilievre. EDIT: Didn’t mean to suggest he won’t win the election. But he’ll have to defend the seat.
We need to just deal with some squirrels in the pack looking for nuts, but I think Poilievre if he wins will fix the West Coast problems tuque-svet

Ya, but we rely on so much from Sask to Montreal on border money.

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
Years? This guy's tenure will be best measured in weeks.
Why is that?
The next Canadian federal election will be no later than October 20, 2025. Possibly much sooner.
While Carney's party has seen a bump in the polls recently (thanks to Trump) which changed the predicted result from an opposition blowout to merely an opposition lead, Carney is nowhere near as good a communicator as Trudeau and will likely not do well in the polls.

#28> On that note, he announced the carbon tax would soon be cancelled.
I'm super-disappointed. The carbon tax is the most effective market-based mechanism for controlling carbon dioxide emissions. The majority of economists support it, while political support trails behind significantly.
Also, it's disingenuous to only focus on axing the carbon tax without mentioning that the quarterly refund to every resident of Canada will also be axed. The carbon tax is designed as a revenue-neutral program.
