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.

Tamara Lich, the leader of the trucker convoy, was sentenced to a year under house arrest.

She's only allowed to leave her home for medical appointments and church, and a few hours a week to buy groceries. She's not allowed to go out for dinner or visit friends or even go for a walk. It's atrocious.

But there is another exception: she can leave her home for work.

That got me thinking. Tamara has worked with Rebel News before — speaking at our events across Canada, coming on our TV shows, and even going on a multi-city book tour to promote her best-selling autobiography.

So, with the guidance of Tamara's lawyer, I offered her a formal job. And I sent the job offer to her probation officer, and phoned the probation officer and walked her through it, line by line — including the parts about Tamara travelling. And to my relief, she approved it!

So just a few days ago, Tamara took her first trip to our Rebel News office as our newest employee! Here, watch a video we made about her visit —...

Russia Deploys Entire Fleet Of Nuclear Icebreakers To Arctic

Hello, Hello, Canada, Hello! Are you listening?
Russia has deployed all eight of its nuclear icebreakers simultaneously in an unprecedented move. The fleet is being used to keep critical winter shipping lanes in the Gulf of Ob and the Yenisei Gulf open, ensuring continued access to key export terminals. The deployment sends a clear signal to the West that Russia can sustain year-round Arctic shipping and maintain its natural resource export revenues.

Ship tracking website MarineTraffic reported earlier this week:

Russia deploys all eight nuclear icebreakers to keep Arctic export routes open.

Russia has, for the first time, deployed its entire fleet of eight nuclear-powered icebreakers simultaneously to maintain winter navigation in the Gulf of Ob and the Yenisei Gulf. #MarineTraffic data shows that the nuclear icebreakers Taymyr, Yamal, Arktika, Yakutiya, Sibir, and 50 Let Pobedy have been operating in the Gulf of Ob ...
