From Jason Levigne on X

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.

China Tries To Assert Dominance Over Canada After Carney Trade Deal

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/china-tries-assert-dominance-over-canada-after-carney-trade-deal
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has led his country into economic chaos as one of the few leaders unwilling to negotiate a basic trade deal with the Trump Administration. He should have been the first to make a deal, given that around 75% of Canada's export economy relies on US markets and there is no viable alternative that will bring anywhere close to the same trade revenues.

There are so few words left for the last 12 years, deficits & loss of taxpayers money…it continues!

The head of Canada’s new defence procurement agency is facing questions over past professional relationships with major defence contractors, after acknowledging he has advised companies that may now be eligible for federal contracts.

Blacklock's Reporter says Doug Guzman, a former senior banker at Royal Bank, told MPs he entered public service to help at a “pivotal moment” for Canada, but confirmed he has previously worked with and advised firms in the defence and aerospace sector.

“I have advised defence companies in the course of my career,” Guzman said during testimony before the Commons defence committee.

The exchange came as Conservative MPs pressed him on whether his past corporate work could create perceived conflicts of interest in his new role overseeing defence-related investments and contracting decisions.

Conservative MP James Bezan questioned Guzman directly about his lack of procurement ...
