Bank of England governor Mark Carney to be Canada's next Prime Minister

[ItsPeople]

He's not. Note how he didn't mention anything he's concerned about and who would be better.

From what I've been able to gather, the politician from Canada's conservative party shot up to fame because he basically sold himself as "not Trudeau" now that Trudeau is gone, there's no plan other than to try and claim that Carney is deeply tied with Trudeau.

Which again isn't going to work so well since Trump has boosted Trudeau's popularity by behaving like a complete piece of shyt.

Carney was advising the conservative government that was running Canada during the financial crisis in 08. By all accounts, Canada navigated that and recovered faster than other countries. If you want a guy who is going to know what to do in a financial crisis, it's that guy. And trump is trying to trigger a global financial crisis and force other countries to sell off the dollars they have in reserve and raise the value of their currency. The idea is to make America competitive by driving down the value of the American dollar and making it cheaper for America's exporters to sell to other countries.

Stephen Harper says Carney is taking credit for 'things he had little or nothing to do with'

Carney is smart might be another Paul Martin.

But I still think the cons are going to win, once the trump stench dies down liberals are still not fixing immigration. Just recently planning on giving legal status to undocumented construction workers ushering it so it looks like its on trudeau but Canada remembers.

Stuff like this is why I still think the Cons will win

If I may ask as an ignorant American, yall got a tiny population relative to yall size so wouldn’t yall need immigration to create a larger workforce? What’s the exact story behind the immigration issue? All my relatives tell me it’s the East Indians which sounds similar to Americans complaining about Latin Americans. How did yall get to this point?

if he’s calling a Spring election and the Tories have to deal with Trump imposing tariffs and continuously talking about annexation your territory, they’re looking screwed

After having a 25 point lead in polls.

Immigrants head to major capitals (Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, maybe the Maritimes)
Infrastructure and social services can't keep up

If the Liberals win then God help us all!

This guy was the advisor to the worst PM, so what do you think he is going to do during his tenor?

Canada is a lost country filled with dementia patients for citizens.

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

Well
He's the PM once Trudeau formally submits his resignation, most likely in the coming weeks
Then Carney gets sworn in
Then Carney can call a snap election in advance of the scheduled Oct 2025 election
And
Yes, French is the second language here

Then why is he celebrating like he has got 4 years or something?

Carney is a damn liar. I don't even like Harper, but he is correct. Canadians don't truly understand how great Jim Flaheety, the formr federal conservative finance minister, was to Canada

We weathered the storm of the former global financial collapse because of him.

Yall might need a quota system for countries and cap other countries with exceptions on high skilled workers and refugees that fit Canada’s requirements for asylum. Yall would be justified in making the process for Indians much tougher now since they represent such an outsized part of the immigrant population. Prolly a bunch of other places that would offer something to the country but aren’t getting a shot rn.

Maybe do the DV (diversity visa) shyt that America has done in the past so that yall can be selective on who does and doesn’t get a chance to immigrate to Canada.

What you have got going on in other no name Provinces?
Why don't you build factories, housing, infrastructure and require all new immigrants to train,study, live and work there?
Some will bytch and moan but a lot of immigrants will jump on the chance
Pair them fair wages

 

[Bushmaster69]

Yes the conservatives.

The Liberals are horrible leaders, and no other party, other than the Tories are an option.

The Liberals removed mandatory minimums for firearm offences, and simultaneously inteoduced bail reform, that cobtributed to a rise in violent offences such as home invasions and car theft.

The liberals won't bring in good self defence laws, but instead are banning law abiding gun owners from owning certain firearms. EVEN THOUGH THE POLICE ARE TELLING THE LIBERALS THAT IT IS AMERICAN SMUGGLED FIREARMS THAT THEY CONFISCATE 95% OF THE TIME! Not legally purchased firearms.

The Liberals have been caught up in so many scandals: SNC Lavalan, WE charity, abuse of the emergencies act during the trucker protest (which the federal government has been found guilty of).

Increasing our taxes on an already over burdened citizen.

Immigration crisis that has screwed over our hospitals, housing, schools system, jobs, roads, etc...


I mean what are you really asking me?

The Liberals don't deserve another chance under any leadership

Canadians are stupid man.

 

[Strapped]

Did they make a mistake making this dude PM

 

[Bushmaster69]

I might have to bounce out of this country because I can't deal with another Liberal government.

And a minority Conservative government won't be able to do anything because all the other bytch made parties are running interference.

Man I'm really starting to hate this place.

Don't get me started on the Bloc Qubecois being able to run federally and wasting votes. And they have so many fukking seats.

Imagine telling a person from another country that a party that only runs on a platform for one state/province/parish competes FEDERALLY.
