Did you know Mark Carney was awarded the 'Order of Canada' in 2014 (under PM Harper’s recommendation) for his leadership in the development of financial policy in #Canada and around the world.

"As governor of the Bank of Canada he was one of the key players in steering the Canadian economy through the 2008 global economic crisis, championing clear communication and predictability."

Over 900 days as 🇨🇦 Conservative leader and Pierre #Poilievre still refuses to get his security clearance.

Kanadas Verhältnis zu den USA: Carney sieht "kein Zurück"

Für Kanadas neuen Premier Carney ist alte Beziehung zu den USA Geschichte. Es sei klar geworden, dass die USA kein verlässlicher Partner mehr seien, sagte er. Mit US-Präsident Trump werde er dennoch in den kommenden Tagen telefonieren.

#Kanada #USA #Carney #Trump

🇨🇦 NEW: PM Carney's bombshell presser today:

He intends to totally reconfigure Canada's supply chains across business sectors.
He sent a direct message to US administration that Canada has already made our plans & we WILL move on without the US.
“He will be tough for the Americans to deal with”
“He’ll make mincemeat of the second-raters in the Trump team”
“He’s made it quite clear that #Canada is not going to put up with this BS.”

🇨🇦 "Pierre #Poilievre went to Canada's North, made promises about the North, without talking to the leaders of the North.
Mark Carney sat down for tea and listened to the leaders of the North.
That's Leadership.
See the difference, #Canada?"

Kanadas Premier Carney sucht den Schulterschluss in Europa

Europa statt die USA: Kanadas Premier Carney hat auf seiner ersten Auslandsreise Frankreichs Präsident Macron besucht. Den Zollstreit der USA gegen Kanada sprachen beide nicht direkt an - dafür machten sie der Ukraine ein Versprechen.

13/n “Freedom is not a given. Democracy is not a given. Even Canada is not a given”

Amazing that a Canadian Prime Minister would say this.

And he wraps up his speech to a standing ovation.
He will be remembered as a consequential, and I think positive, Prime Minister.

(I have to go now — former PM Chrétien is speaking now. He is 91)
“I am ready to fight!”

12/n Trudeau speaks for the final time as Liberal leader.

“Now as Canadians face, from our neighbour, an existential crisis… Canadians are showing what it is that makes us. By proudly embracing who we are. Standing up for everyone’s fundamental rights is the only way to preserve our freedom. “

“We are a country that wants people to be able to pray as they pray, and love who they love. We will always defend a woman’s right to choose. We will be a country that will be diplomatic when we can but fight when we must… ELBOWS UP”

(The crowd chants Elbows Up)

11/n Daughter of PM Trudeau (16yr old) Ella-Grace.

She is introducing her father. First time I have seen her speak publicly. Pretty interesting that she is willing to come and say her piece.

Will we see her in a future election?

“My brothers and and I have shared our dad with you, but now we’re taking him back”.

Well done young lady.

#canPoli #cdnpoli #trudeau #carney #freeland #gould #baylis

10/n and now the front runner (the speaking order was done by draw) Mark Carney
“Who is ready to stand up for Canada?”
He speaks in a relaxed way compared to the others.
#canPoli #cdnpoli #trudeau #carney #freeland #gould #baylis

9/n Now Karina Gould, who was the youngest candidate, is speaking. I hate that “young people” are always at a disadvantage. Unless of course they have a certain pedigree (Trudeau was 38 when he won leadership) #canPoli #cdnpoli #trudeau #carney #freeland #gould #baylis

8/n next up, the former Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of Canada, Chrystia Freeland speaks before the votes are revealed.
“We will defeat Poillievre and his Maple Syrup MAGA”

#canPoli #cdnpoli #trudeau #carney #freeland #gould #baylis

7/n the least likely Candidate to win, Frank Baylis. Speaks first.

He doesn’t expect to win. Worth noting that he is likely richer than Mark Carney…

If you have any doubt what you are going to hear from everyone tonight…
“We will not be intimidated by a tweet, and we will not be broken by a tariff”

Next up, Freeland.

6/n showing a pictures of Pierre Trudeau and a young (tallest) boy on the stage as his father stepped down in 1984.

It’ll be interesting to hear what he has to say as he steps aside today.

5/n Minister of Foreign Affairs Mélanie Joly, a supporter of Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney says:

“I decided [for Carney] for three reasons
People want change
People want someone who can negotiate with Trump, and understand economic impacts
He is able to peat Pierre Poillievre. We need that Canadian jobs and Canadian way of life.”

#canPoli #cdnpoli #trudeau #carney #freeland #gould #baylis

4/n According to the folks here, the expectation is after this, there will be a Canadian Federal Election called within 7-10 days.

BUCKLE UP

#canPoli #cdnpoli #trudeau #carney #freeland #gould #baylis

3/n The votes are designated by riding. There are 343 ridings. Each riding is given 100 points for 343,000 total available. So to win, a candidate needs 17,151.

The ballots are ranked so since there are four candidates there will be up to 4 rounds counted. If a candidate doesn’t win a majority then the bottom candidate is dropped and their points go to the other candidates based on ranks.

It always annoys me when political parties have better voting systems than the general electorate in this country.

One day we will get PR!

2/n If you are looking for coverage and don’t have Cable TV, you can download the CBC GEM app to see the live feed. It might be on CBC News app too and will be on their website at some point.

1/n It’s time for a new Liberal Leader!
I am not a Liberal Party of Canada supporter, but this is extremely important in this unprecedented moment in US Canada relations.

The votes are in, we are just waiting for the count. I have not heard yet how they will be counting. If it is across multiple counts or if they just announce the winner.

If you know, please let me know.

One of the analysts just said, “when Carney is coronated”..

MARK CARNEY 2025☑️
A serious and capable adult has entered the room. To hell with career politicians and their partisan hackery, we need Carney right now. Canada's economy and security depend on it.
