Canada’s new prime minister - March 10, 2025

Canada’s next prime minister has helped run two Group of Seven economies in crisis and will now try to steer Canada through a looming trade war brought by U.S. President Donald Trump, a threat of annexation and an expected federal election. Former central banker Mark Carney will become prime minister after the governing Liberal Party elected him its leader Sunday in a landslide vote with 85.9% support. Carney replaces Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who announced his resignation in January but remains prime minister until his successor is sworn in in the coming days. We talk to Tom Urbaniak, a professor in the political science department at Cape Breton University.

Why aren't leftists ever labeled as leftist? If the new PM had been one inch to the right of center, every single headline would make sure to label him "the new RIGHT WING Prime Minister", "new RIGHT WING leader", "new FAR-RIGHT politician", "FAR-RIGHT president", etc.

I want to say I am embarrassed by my president of the United States. He’s not right in his mind. My opinion.

Sounds like he is right out of the World Economic Forum. They Voted for him fairly ?
