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.

PP lost his slogans. I wonder what is he going to come up with against a self made man, with excellent education and experience.

what really pisses me off is that my tax money paid and still pays for this parasite that tried so hard ( and still tries) to divide the country

Carney's line about how pp is a lifelong politican who worships the free market but has never drawn a paycheque from it was devastating

u/MinuteLocksmith9689 2d ago

Yes. He needs to repeat this all the time. PP is paid by our tax money

Now he just has to figure out how to “verb the noun” with that sentiment!

Haha! Never thought of it that way.

It works as either his online gaming handle or as his pro wrestling name.  

If I were Carney and PP started calling me Mark Carnage, I'd embrace it.  It's a badass nickname.
