The powers that be in the Liberal Party of Canada called for a coronation of the next leader and they got one.
With the support of most of Justin Trudeau’s team, Carney has been ushered in to continue on with more of Trudeau’s signature economic policies, the ones Carney has been advising Trudeau on since 2020…because…Carney’s an “outsider.”

New Liberal leader just like old one on policies that have tanked Canadian economy
While more than 400,000 people signed up as “registered Liberals” to vote in this nomination process, just over 151,000 actually took the time to vote. This is a chance to pick the next prime minister of our country at a time when we are facing a threat to our sovereignty and a threat to our economic future, yet our next PM was chosen by so few people.
By comparison, the last Conservative leadership race saw more than 400,000 people vote with 295,285 ballots cast for Poilievre alone. Sure, it might have been a longer timeline, but the stakes – becoming leader of the official Opposition with no election in sight – were much smaller.
The latest Leger poll, the polling firm Postmedia works with and the most accurate in the last several federal elections, shows the Poilievre-led Conservatives with 41% of the vote to 33% for the Carney-led Liberals. Leger also found that Poilievre beat Carney on who was best suited to deal with Trump, to handle inflation and the cost-of-living crisis and to understand the “concerns of voters like me.”
