Mark Carney can be PM without a seat or single vote, and in an emergency, stay PM till September 2026.
How?
With Mark Carney clearly making moves for the Liberal Party leadership, already securing 30 MPs, and talking with media, and is clearly a strong frontrunner, many Canadians are about to receive a huge surprise and shock.
It is a common misconception that the Prime Minister of Canada must be a Member of Parliament. Not true. The PM is appointed, not elected, to the position by the Governor General.
Mark Carney can win the Liberal Party leadership and be appointed to the role of PM.
Canada has done this once before. The 17th Prime Minister John Turner in 1984. He left politics a decade earlier and returned to succeed Pierre Trudeau as leader of the Liberal Party and was then appointed PM by the Governor General without holding a seat in the HoC.
I have attached some information if you don't know anything about John Turner. He was PM for a few months in 1984.
Is history about to repeat itself? A Trudeau resigns, and Canada gets a non-elected Prime Minister?
I think that is exactly what is about to happen.
I predict the 24th Prime Minister will be unelected, Mark Carney.
Also, did you know that constitutionally, in Canada, terms can be up to 5 years? Making the next forced election date September 20, 2026.
The next question is, how are they going to stall the election? Clearly, the Liberal Party will want some rebound time to clean the Trudeau stink before the next election.
Well, there really are only two ways to stall the next election in Canada
1) Avoiding a Confidence Loss. So, make a deal with NDP or Bloc.
or
2) Delaying the Election in an Emergency. This includes economic emergencies, such as a US President threatening "economic force" and imposing harmful tariffs against Canada.
We could be stuck with the Liberals for another 20 months under non-elected PM Carney.
Saw this guy on CTV National after Smith’s Q&A. Loved listening to him he was spot on to the problems born AB has faced over the years and just resolved totally the way I plan to vote. If we can just shut Rath up now that could be the biggest issue 😂😂😂 to gain more people! AND Smith is right, waiting around for the courts will just make more frustration & democracy held at bay.

I remember Poland under communism. I had lived through this. 1970's we had Edward Gierek, figure that reminds me Carney's views and actions. Gierek's famous words that many Poles can remember were "will you help me"? Our response was "yes, we will". We had great hopes. But Gierek and his political colleagues were living high life like kings. For us we had food stamps, sugar stamps cigarette, alcohol, gas stamps. Stamps were for pretty much everything but the store shelves were empty anyways. As l remember there was like 4 kg of meat per family per month. I may be wrong but l am positive it was not much. People didn't have cars, only some. Anyways, what l wanted to say, l run away from it and ligally entered Canada all these years ago....
I think you need to live through comunism to see the pattern of where we are heading with our current liberal government.
I am not a politician, just expressing my observations.
