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.
Was listening about Alberta MLA wanting to have re-reimbursement for e-bike or scooter rentals. I thought for sure it was an NDP member (wrongfully thought it was Janis Irwin although could be on committee) but imagine my surprise when it was a Grande Prairie MLA.
An Alberta legislative committee is exploring whether taxpayers should cover the cost of e-bike and e-scooter trips taken by MLAs and caucus staff. The bipartisan committee unanimously passed a motion to investigate corporate agreements with micro-mobility companies like Bird Canada, Lime, and Neuron Mobility.Key details regarding the proposal:The Motion: United Conservative backbencher Nolan Dyck pushed for the exploration, citing e-bikes and e-scooters as cheap, fast transit options in cities.Current Status: No decision has been finalized. MLAs currently can only expense taxis, car rentals, and certain airfares.The Obstacle: A legislative report advised against it, as micro-mobility companies generally require riders...

Good morning, C&C, it’s Monday! Our regularly scheduled programming —part II of our investigation into the deep state’s Reckoning™— has been shifted to tomorrow. I could not overlook the virtually impossible confluence of blessings that attended the President’s 80th birthday weekend, coming as it does just weeks before the Nation’s blockbuster 250th anniversary. Strap in, today’s seemingly unrelated stories are going to knock your leg warmers off.

Regular readers know that I have something of a dot-connection impulse, or possibly an obsession. (We don’t know yet.) This one I can’t prove. I mean that proving it is impossible. Proving the existence of a lucky president falls into the hazy Twilight Zone beyond the boundaries of conventional science. But the dots are right there. We’ll prime the dot-connection lab table with this uncharacteristically chipper headline from PBS: “Trump ...
