Mark Carney was elected Canada’s prime minister Monday, CBC News and CTV News both projected, with Canadians giving the Liberal leader the mandate he sought to take on President Donald Trump’s tariffs and trade policy.

Carney cemented the Liberals’ fourth-straight term in government, a rare feat in Canadian politics — while holding back the Conservative Party led by Pierre Poilievre. The win shows that voters rejected Trump’s brand of populism — which Liberals argued Poilievre had come to represent.

Carney, who was seen to move the Liberals to the center following the resignation of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, ran on his economic record. He headed up two G7 central banks, worked for more than a decade at Goldman Sachs, and chaired both Brookfield Asset Management and Bloomberg.

With a majority, I guess he doesn't have to brush up on his French anymore.
 
Dear Alberta: you're better off declaring independence, with all your natural resources, petroleum and relatively conservative population. Do you really want to be stuck in jeet-filled suicidally faggy loser Canada? Leave.
 
As a lifelong liberal voter, I was happy to stay that way with Justin gone. Mark is much better positioned to work with and hold off trump without sucking orange dick like Polivere would have.

The Libs were the only party to have a viable policy to counter US trade warfare and populist expansionism.

With a strong Liberal majority in Centrist mode, Canada wins.

ETA:Lol this was my 8,000th post here, and it wasn't even a shitpost!

In true Canuck Fashion, they vote for the party that's cannibalizing the nation inside-out because "orange man bad!", the Libs did more damage to Canada over the last decade than Trump ever did, and by this point, Canada deserves everything awful that happens to it afterwards.
