Summary
Mark Carney has been elected as the new Liberal Party leader in Canada with a commanding 85.9% of votes, following Justin Trudeau’s resignation.
The former Bank of Canada and Bank of England governor will become Canada’s 24th prime minister within days.
In his victory speech, Carney took aim at both Donald Trump and Canadian Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, vowing to maintain Canada’s tariffs until Americans “show us respect.”
Carney, despite never holding elected office, enters leadership as Canada faces trade tensions with the U.S. and a potential early election. He must secure a parliamentary seat and finalize the transition with Trudeau.
Good chance you’re a troll, but maybe take 5 minutes and look up how Canadian elections work?
Why discuss anything at all? Why ask any sort of question in a forum? After all, we can just look everything up.
You cannot have a discussion until you have done the basic research. Rather, you impose on others to educate you. That is different than having a meaningful discussion.
Why would anyone ask any question in lemmy comments? They can just google it.
Sometimes it’s fun to ask questions.
Hmm… 2 almost identical comments below mine. That isn’t suspicions at all
Even if the original question was asked in bad faith (not that I think this was the case here, but to address what you’re implying with this comment), responding with “go look it up elsewhere” doesn’t negate its effect for anyone reading. I believe it plays into those bad faith hands because it looks like you don’t want the question answered here to anyone already suspicious of the situation.
