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.

This referendum is nominally about independence. That’s true. But it’s also the biggest, loudest way to hit back at Ottawa in a way they’ll never forget.

China suspends all new robotaxi licenses after Baidu outage
China has halted the issuance of new autonomous vehicle licenses following an incident last month in which more than 100 Baidu Apollo Go robotaxis abruptly stopped on the streets of Wuhan, stranding passengers and snarling traffic, Bloomberg reported on April 29, citing people familiar with the matter.
The freeze prevents self-driving companies from adding vehicles to existing fleets, launching new pilot programs, or expanding into additional cities. No end date has been set.
A Night of Chaos in Wuhan
On the evening of March 31, Apollo Go robotaxis across Wuhan — where Baidu operates its largest fully driverless fleet of more than 1,000 vehicles — lost contact with the company's cloud dispatch system and stopped mid-route. Videos circulating on Chinese social media showed a passenger trapped inside a vehicle halted in the fast lane of an expressway as trucks sped past, while other images depicted a robotaxi struck ...
