[FoxNews] Carney expected to call election in coming days where he will face Conservative challenger Pierre Poilievre
Carney said that while "Donald Trump thinks he can weaken us with his plan to divide and conquer," Conservative Official Opposition Leader "Pierre Poilievre’s plan will leave us divided and ready to be conquered." Carney received 86% of the vote, or 131,764 votes of the 151,899 ones cast from the nearly 400,000 party members who registered to participate in the leadership election. The new Liberal leader told party members that they should be prepared to fight "the most important election of our lives" where the "stakes have never been higher." He said that Canada is the "greatest country in the world and now our neighbors want to take us. No way," said the incoming Canadian prime minister referring to President Donald Trump’s repeated desire for the U.S. to annex Canada as the "51st state." When Trump announced his tariffs against Canada last month, Carney issued a statement that "Canada will not bow down to a bully. We won’t stand by as illegal U.S. tariffs hurt our workers and their families. As Canadians, we need to face this challenge as one united team."
Less than a month later, Trudeau announced his intention to step down as Liberal leader and prime minister, saying that if he’s "having to fight internal battles, [he] cannot be the best option" in a general election scheduled to be held no later than Oct. 20. But opposition parties have vowed to force an earlier national vote through a non-confidence motion in the House of Commons against the Liberal minority government when Parliament is recalled on March 24. On Saturday, Canada’s Globe and Mail newspaper reported that Carney will likely call a snap election the week before the March 24 resumption of Parliament, with voting day on either April 28 or May 5. The new Liberal leader is expected to meet with Trudeau on Monday to discuss the transition that will find Carney and a slimmed-down Cabinet sworn into office by Friday. But regardless of the Liberals having a new leader with some momentum in the polls, Canada’s Conservatives under their leader, Pierre Poilievre, are ready for a "change election," said Laura Kurkimaki, who served as deputy national campaign manager for the Conservative Party during the last federal election in 2021. "We’ve had 10 years of a Liberal government, and Canadians are tired of that," said Kurkimaki, who also served as principal secretary to former Conservative official opposition leader Erin O’Toole, whose party won the popular vote but not enough House seats to win the 2021 election. Furthermore, she said the new Liberal leader would be running on "Trudeau’s record," and while Carney wasn’t a member of the prime minister’s government, he was appointed last September by the Liberal Party to chair a task force on economic growth for Trudeau. "The next election will be about who is going to make life more affordable for Canadians," said Kurkimaki. "What’s going on in the U.S. impacts that, of course, and creates economic uncertainty in Canada." Canada's next prime minister sends brutal message to Trump just minutes after being elected to replace humiliated Trudeau... who is spotted crying again [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Justin Trudeau's replacement as Canada's next Prime Minister sent a warning to President Trump just minutes after he was elected amid increasingly hostile relations between the United States and its northern neighbor. Former central banker Mark Carney issued a withering takedown of Trump on Sunday immediately after he was chosen to take over Trudeau as the Liberal party leader and Prime Minister of Canada. The 59-year-old leader made it clear that he intends to continue down Trudeau's path of public spats with the US leader. He accused Trump of 'trying to weaken our economy' in his speech to a raucous room full of Liberal party voters. 'Donald Trump, as we know, has put unjustified tariffs on what we build, on what we sell, on how we make a living,' he said. 'He's attacking Canadian workers, families and businesses. We cannot let him succeed. And we won't.' Opposition Conservatives hoped to make the election about Trudeau, who shed tears on Sunday while giving his farewell address to the party. The outgoing prime minister's popularity declined as food and housing prices rose and immigration surged. Trump has repeatedly touted his ambition to annex Canada, referring to Trudeau as 'Governor Trudeau' and the nation as America's '51st state.'
