Trump is a paranoid, manic, narcissist. So he thinks he knows everything, and everyone is out to get him.

He’s also a fucking moron, end of.

How the fuck did Trump not know that?

Really? are you still surprised how dumb and ignorant donald is? he didn't even know Puerto Rico was an island or part of the USA... AFTER BEING ELECTED PRESIDENT!

Funnily enough, Ontario premier Doug Ford used the tariffs (and $3 billion in bribe money) to stay in power.

He has a PhD in Economics and was the head of the Bank of Canada and more recently the head of the Bank of England. So yeah……can’t think of a better resume to navigate us through a trade war.

Compared to Pierre Poilievre (Maple MAGA forgone winner of the next election before Trudeau resigned)... 10000000000000x better

Overall? probably a bit better than usual

Bank director as prime minister...

This will be bad in the long run.

No, he pushed mass immigration, in order to derive what he calls economic growth as we trade homes back and forth for ever larger sums, as zoning and developer fees prevent new development.

Housing and rents doubled in 10 years as we did 4% population growth and bought 50% of mortgage bonds, all as he was a Liberal advisor. He's a champaign socialist like our NDP, and we have no real worker parties left.

Lol, what you think the conservatives will give you this?

I think there are bigger fish to fry right now.

This guy has legit, real-world experience. He has accomplishments out there ass.

Let’s see if he has what it takes first.

And right now? There are bigger issues at stake.

Standards have been wildly reduced in politics. The "nothing will fundamentally change" chairwarmer is roughly equivalent to a Winston Churchill these days. Especially if they at least wring their hands a bit at the thought of genocide, like Carney does.

No way the government lasts 7 months. Carney will, I expect, follow through on calling an election right away.

May vote I expect

It's how parliamentary democracy works. The Prime Minister (PM) is elected by Members of Parliament (MPs) who are, in turn, directly elected by canadians. Typically, the Prime Minister is the leader of the largest party, but not always since a coalition of smaller parties could theoretically band together to elect their choice for PM. Carney was just elected leader of The Liberal Party of Canada, the largest party currently sitting in the Canadian lower house, by members of said party.

Our head of state and commander in chief is King Charles III, whose power is severely limited by constitutional and conventional traditions. Typically, in a parliamentary system, the head of state is merely a figurehead with no ability to influence policy directly.

Our Cabinet, unlike in the American Presidential system where cabinet members are unelected and appointed by the executive, are by convention chosen by the PM from amongst the directly elected MPs.

The PM can be forced to resign, alongside their Cabinet of Ministers, when a majority of MPs support a 'motion/vote of no confidence.' An election can be called at any time, with the maximum period between elections being 4 years.

This system of governance is shared with most Parliamentary and Semi-Presidential democracies with some minor differences.

The PM is like a mayor; they have no actual power (that doesn't flow from the assembly). Theirs is the face of a legislative body. That body can choose anyone they wish to be their Prime Minister. Essentially, at any time. Parliament governs Canada, not the Prime Minister.

Good chance you're a troll, but maybe take 5 minutes and look up how Canadian elections work?

You should learn about how parliamentary systems work

Because people hated Trudeau that much, prior to. his "Trump is dumb" era and the opposition leader is horrifying. An investment banker who has advocated that we not allow our financial system to be Americanized is the best hope we have in unifying the country against the Mini magas.

Carney was governor of the Bank of Canada during the 2008 crash, and did so well that Canada climbed out of the recession/depression quicker than most other nations.

He then went on to become the first non-UK citizen (since the 1600s) to lead the Bank of England during the Brexit crisis. He advised Boris Johnson to not go through with it, but Boris decided to anyway. Many believe that is why the UK has, until recently, held onto a relative economic stability -- but even now are also discussing trying to rejoin the EU.

I watched Carney back in 2008-09 when he spoke to Parliament ... he didn't lie, he never waffled on the possible dangers we faced, and he worked hard to pull us through.

He is a different kind of man, and a different kind of economist. He'll do great as our PM.

Maybe it's time we let people who know how to handle an economy run countries? It's not like the alternatives have been that great so far.

We need a better economy and a way to fix things with Trump. This is a prime minister for at least until the elections in October 2025, could end before

Again, it's almost another binary race

The alternative is Polievre.

Take however long you like and decide which you'd prefer between the two. Don't trump us.

The real weird part is he quit Brookfield's ESG department to be the PM, and one of his only policies announced so far is to replace the carbon tax with a foreign emitters tariff style tax, and to allow them to buy carbon credits from company like Brookfield.

Which is known to be no more than greenwashing, as we are still the only county in the G7 without high speed rail, and he also supports mass immigration from low emitting country. Then there was talk of letting Brookfield manage Canadian pension system, its all very fishy.
