It would completely wipe out the party.

Election on 420.
Has it been called and are they forced to call an election due to the change in leadership? Guaranteed Singh would do whatever he had to do to help.

Reality may be that it would be good to jump aboard the Liberal ship now and suffer a beating with the upside of being on the other side next time round when the Conservatives get tossed.

They need the NDP.

We need the NDP gone.
That seems to be the trend. We also need the Liberals to have to be accountable and answer unscripted questions, because that’s been missing for months…

Turn off all dissenting voices, soft media, while Trudeau is able to commit to throwing around massive amounts of all of Canada’s tax dollars into Eastern (central-ish) Canada in the Ottawa-Montreal-Toronto triangle…

It’s a temporary engineered alignment that can only happen once…but it might only need to happen once. Carney hasn’t had to answer any questions beyond those from his three other Liberal “contenders” for the Liberal leadership role…& vagaries towards a conservative-ish platform without details.

Eventually, Carney is going to have to answer an unscripted question, even if Parliament never gets recalled before the next federal election…even if it’s only in an actual real leadership debate…& Carney still doesn’t have a riding that’s made public.

Jesus, Carney is getting roasted on social media. After his two big whoopers about him helping Paul Martin balance the budget (he didn't help at all) and "saving" Canada from the 2008 global financial crisis there's some pretty funny posts showing him "inventing" the lightbulb, "writing" the Magna Carta, "building" the Great Wall of China and other important moments he clearly never took part in.
OTTAWA — Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney has not yet resigned from his multiple international board positions, despite claiming this week that he had stepped down from all his roles to be “all in” on his bid to become Canada’s next prime minister.
There’s a pattern here, & we all have access to Google…
Whoopsies…there seems to be a patterned forming around this guy.
Mark Carney, a senior advisor to the Trudeau government since 2020, is now trying to disown Trudeau’s disastrous fiscal and economic record and instead latch on to the much stronger record of a previous Liberal government. “It was my privilege to work with Paul Martin when he balanced the books — and kept the books balanced,” Carney said last week.

Nice try, Mr. Carney. Not only should Canadians refuse to let Carney off the hook for his negative contributions to the Trudeau economy, but going back to the Paul Martin days, Carney wasn’t appointed Senior Associate Deputy Minister of Finance until November 2004 — nearly a decade after the Chrétien-Martin budget of 1995-96 which set Canada on the path out of its debt crisis and well after that government balanced the budget in 1997-98.
As one person stated, he's committing the political equivalent of stolen valour. Taking full credit for things he had nothing, or very little to do with.
During the 2008-09 financial crisis, Carney worked with Harper and the late Jim Flaherty, then the finance minister, on Canada’s response. Carney has tried to use that experience to say that this makes him the man for this moment in the face of Trump’s tariff threat.

“Carney’s experience is NOT the day-to-day management of Canada’s economy during the global financial crisis,” former Canadian PM Harper writes.

There’s no doubt that Carney was part of a team, but anyone who knows how the government functions, knows that Carney’s role would have been the smallest of the three men. Carney focused on interest rates and inflation, but the main decisions around stimulus, where to spend and where to cut were all made by Harper and Flaherty.
“I have listened, with increasing disbelief, to Mark Carney’s attempts to take credit for things he had little or nothing to do with back then. He has been doing this at the expense of the late Jim Flaherty, among the greatest Finance Ministers in Canada’s history, who sadly is not here to defend his record,” Harper’s letter states.

“But let me be very clear: the hard calls during the 2008-2009 global financial crisis were made by Jim.”

By Sunday, 400,000 adherents of the Justin Party (formerly the Liberal Party of Canada) are expected to have voted to select the next prime minister of Canada.

No matter that 300,000 of these were just recently signed up as people seriously interested in politics only since the incumbent, Justin Trudeau, forced from office by a populace fed up with his expensive, ineffective, and corrupt government, announced his intention to resign.

(Some portion of those might be Canadians, and some portion of those might be adults)

Such a slap-dash approach to such a serious and consequential responsibility as choosing a prime minister would be unheard of, and certainly not tolerated, in the Liberal Party of even a few years ago. But that is how the system exists now, after it has been changed to its very core by Trudeau and his cronies.

Given the constant flow of crap Canadians take from "those people" you would think voter participation levels would be higher. I think politicians prefer it this way.

There are few better jobs in the world than being leader of an opposition party and being paid $271,000 + per year to be working from home. Preston Manning had the right idea.

And that's what Socks "Blackface" McGroper calls, "defending democracy".

I got a knife of my own. Being a fucking billionaire you'd think Carney would get those stained, chipped teeth fixed or something. He looks like a friggin' predator.

Whom, by default, becomes the Prime Minister of Canada…assuming Trudeau steps down.
Man he has been having to much fun , Trump has made him relevant again . Look at him prancing around the planet handing out imaginary money . The gig is fun again , no way he is stepping down yet .

I got a fingernail clipper! According to the aviation authorities, they're the same thing!

But, yes, we hates them forever, precioussss!
Dude, the Europeans and even the President of Peru is telling Canada Carney is bad news. He's even proving it himself with his pathological lying about even the easiest things to disprove.
I mean there's lying about what you're going to do and then there's taking full credit for someone else's work that you either had nothing to do with or were a very cursory part of.
He's also not a Liberal, just like Trudeau isn't. Just because Trudeau led the Liberal party doesn't mean he's a Liberal. North Korea calls itself a democratic people's republic. Do you really believe it is?

He pretty much said as much. He's staying on (yay :poop:) until this tariff thing is settled or calmed down or whatever. Which means we're fucked. At no point in the last 9 years has that jackoff ever given a shit about Canada and he still doesn't. But he's playing with house money and you know this is personal with him. Which means it's going to be about what's best for Trudie's fragile ego and not what's best for Canada.

For a Harvard and Oxford University graduate, Mark Carney has done some head-shakingly dumb things lately.

The lust for power may have scrambled his brain, or it could be that as he morphs into a Liberal politician he has adopted some of the worst tropes associated with those who seek elected office: a casual relationship with the truth, embellishing achievements and a reliance on non-existent facts.

To have done what Carney has done — risen to governor of the central banks of both Canada and England — he must have been seen as a man of principle and integrity. And yet as he battles to become the leader of the Liberals, and thus prime minister, Carney is treading a less virtuous route.

Carney is fast becoming to honesty what Donald Trump is to diplomacy.
