Canada’s new Prime Minister is Mark Carney of the Liberal Party. He won the job in a vote within the party against Chrystia Freeland, former Deputy Prime Minister to Justin Trudeau. He was not elected by the people of Canada in a general election.
The people of Canada are supposed to get a chance to vote for a new Prime Minister this fall if all goes according to plan but again. His most staunch competitor will be the Conservative Party’s Pierre Poilievre. He also faces Maxime Bernier of the People’s Party.
Carney is only the second Prime Minister to jump into the job without first holding a parliamentary seat. He bills himself as a political newcomer with a background with big banks but his opponents say that he is a “disconnected member of the globalist elite.” Well, he has never explained why he was associated with Ghislaine Maxwell.
Carney has a lot of perplexing ideas, such as a commitment to net zero. He also holds British and Irish citizenship but says he is in the process of renouncing them in order to be the Prime Minister.
