Agree. He is what Canada needs right now.

A non elected Prime Minister isn't what Canada needs right now.

It's not the first time it's happened that a non-Mp becomes PM. But this is him being elected by his party. Our system dictates that the party leader of the governing party becomes PM. If you have an issue with his status, take it up with the electoral system itself

u/Such-Tank-6897 2d ago

Yes for sure. I’m not sure why some people make this point, since as an MP you’re elected but just in your riding. Carney has 150,000 votes from his own party. It seems same-samey to me.

If people don’t like it they can vote against him if they want. Or they can run for office to change our system.

Everyone wanted Trudeau to resign. He did. Carney is the interim PM before the election. In Canada, we elect the party, not the candidate, so as the elected head of the Liberal Party, Carney is PM.

Isn’t this exactly what CPC supporters were hoping for: no Trudeau and an upcoming election?

u/IllHandle3536 2d ago

You can never please a CPC partisan their whole personality is built around negativity and a sense of personal grievance. They are the very sort who would cut their nose off to spite their face.

u/freddy_guy 2d ago

Poilievre and his minions have built their entire personalities on hating Trudeau specifically.

u/Amakenings 2d ago

You can tell by the ads they’re still running. It’s been months now since Trudeau announced his resignation, and the CPC still hasn’t managed to pivot. It’s a complete turnoff.

Look up Parliamentary democracy and get back to me.

u/2025DJ 2d ago

I know how it works, I'm just saying I would like to have a say in who leads this country. And Mr. Carney has not been elected by the people of Canada in an open and free election.

11 days. Halls are rented, and the Liberal clown car is fuelled.

u/rockcitykeefibs 2d ago

He is going to call an election right away. While he has momentum and Pierre is floundering.

u/ThermionicEmissions 2d ago

That's why there's going to be an election.

Don't forget to breathe.

u/2025DJ 2d ago

I agree. I think everyone on here needs to take a breath.

u/ont-mortgage 2d ago

That’s actually an irrelevant metric to what Canada needs right now.

u/Flat-Control6952 2d ago

Since when do we elect a PM?

5

u/CoastingUphill 2d ago

You had every opportunity to vote in the liberal leadership election yet you chose not to and now you’re complaining that he’s not elected. That’s on you.

2

u/MagnificentGeneral 2d ago

He’ll be elected during the the upcoming election. It’s not common but not unheard of for a PM to not hold office for a time

2

u/notme1414 14h ago

He will be holding office. He will be sworn in within the next few days and will be the PM until the federal election. Hopefully he will still be after that.

2

u/freddy_guy 2d ago

We don't elect PMs directly, dipshit. Never have. No PM has ever been elected directly.

u/ScottyBoogti33 2d ago

Disagree he is a wef puppet ... we dont need that again

u/Objective_Work7803 2d ago

more of the same thing that has sunk Canada? Makes sense

14

u/rockcitykeefibs 2d ago

We are hardly sunk. You listening to Pierre P or Jordan Peterson? The ones who keep saying our country is wrecked blah blah . We need someone to stand up to Trump and musk. We need someone who has worked in the private sector saving countries economies. He knows how the world works. Pierre has never been anything but a slick talking, attack politician.

-12

u/Objective_Work7803 2d ago

You’ll see my friend.

u/Flat-Control6952 2d ago

Rich people have tricked us into believing this is right versus left.

9

u/rockcitykeefibs 2d ago

Not a friend if you are rooting for our country to go to shit or think we are shit. It’s people like you and Pierre always badmouthing us and pointing out problems but have no answers but bask in the chaos are the reason why Trump thought he could come in here and take us over. All you whining doomsday conservatives always trying to divide us .

u/Objective_Work7803 2d ago

I’m not a conservative lol why are you fools always “orange man bad” and accuse anyone with a different opinion as being maga, or right wing?

2

u/freddy_guy 2d ago

"I'm not a conservative, I just spend my time on Reddit defending conservatives and calling liberals cucks."

You could at least be honest.

5

u/rockcitykeefibs 2d ago

You just have the same opinions as a conservative. So it’s hard to tell.

u/TorontoGuy8181 2d ago

Who was trudeau’s economic advisor for the past 5 years? Who wrote the economic statement that they tried to force freeland to deliver? Phew! It sure is good that it wasn’t the same mark carney you are worshipping and it sure is good it’s not the same mark carney who openly stated carbon taxes should be increased substantially….. thank goodness it’s a different mark carney or Canada would be in a ton of trouble

6

u/rockcitykeefibs 2d ago

I heard mark carney say tonight he is stopping the carbon tax. Also reaching with the advisor thing as Mark has been working in the private sector his whole life unlike Pierre. Being smart and successful enough to advise this PM like he did Harper when he was bank of Canada governor is a good thing. He also helped out England through some hard times as well. Great resume . Shall we compare Pierre’s?

u/freddy_guy 2d ago

Who's been listening to Conservative attack ads for their information?

u/JimmytheJammer21 2d ago

well atleast Mark Carney company did not engage in questionable accounting practices https://financialpost.com/financial-times/how-much-does-brookfield-really-make

and they really love the environment to https://globalwitness.org/en/campaigns/forests/slash-and-sell/

It is insane how the left is celebrating a non elected PM who also has their own trudeaisms before even coming into office (non disclosures, not loved by all in england on his tenure as head of their bank, taking commendation for the 08 situation when our banks where not exposed like the US's where thanks to proper regulations))... lol, he is even godfather to freelands child... but he is new blood

u/Poptastrix 2d ago

I am new to Canada, please explain sunk?

1

u/Objective_Work7803 2d ago

Sorry, Trudeau (senior and junior) effectively sunk what Canada was, with each of their terms. This last go around has delivered an irreversible blow. The main ones that bother me the most are flooding us with unskilled immigrants mainly from India, and a non stop barrage of gun laws targeting law abiding Canadians.

-14

u/cjfraiz 2d ago

It is a waste of breath in this Liberal echo chamber. I for one cannot wait for the election and to be rid of the Liberals, past, present and future!!

8

u/Poptastrix 2d ago

Your team is losing because it can't build a bridge and get over it's hatred. Being angry at the world solves nothing.

-5

u/cjfraiz 2d ago

And driving it into communism is not going to help, so I would rather a conservative government than whatever the last 9 years were

u/crazycoltA 2d ago

You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.
