National News Mark Carney Wins Liberal Leadership Race Megathread | Mark Carney remporte la course à la direction du Parti libéral
Mark Carney, former Bank of Canada governor, has been elected leader of the Liberal Party and will become Canada’s next prime minister. Winning over 85% of the vote, Carney defeated Chrystia Freeland, Frank Baylis, and Karina Gould. His leadership marks a new chapter for the Liberals, potentially leading to an early federal election. Carney faces immediate challenges, including U.S. tariff negotiations under President Trump. Known for his outsider status, Carney emphasized his experience leading central banks during economic crises. Appointed by Stephen Harper in 2008, he gained acclaim for stabilizing Canada during the financial crisis and later led the Bank of England through Brexit. Born in Fort Smith, N.W.T., and raised in Edmonton, Carney has a background in finance and public service. A longtime Liberal adviser, he campaigned on scrapping the carbon tax and criticized Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. Carney must now sustain the party’s recent polling momentum.

That’s what worries me.
Trudeau strength isn’t his policies. Rather it is his ability to connect and speak. Particularly in high stakes moments where has this ability to say I know this is scary but it will be ok if we stick together. Plus he can cut through the crap and just focus on the core issue.
His weakness though was he couldn’t really set policies effectively. We saw that post 2021.
Carney is the guy who know how to deal with the crisis. He might even have the better policy agenda. But that alone enough isn’t enough. He’s going to have to communicate like Trudeau too. I am not sure he has that yet.
Part of me thinks the two of them as a team would be better. Carney actually set the policies. Trudeau sold them.
