Economy 52,845 Posted March 23, 2025 Share Posted March 23, 2025 https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/federal-election-2025/2025/03/23/snap-election-called-as-carney-hopes-to-leverage-leadership-momentum-amid-trade-war-with-us/ New Prime Minister Mark Carney has called elections today as expected. They will be held April 28th meaning he opted for a 5 week election which is the shortest election allowed under Canadian Law The rush was expected as Mark Carney has an approval nearly twice as high as Justin Trudeau and wants to capitalize on momentum before it is lost The Conservatives are sitting on a lot of donor cash which could make a longer election dangerous for Liberals as the Conservatives have a lot of money for self promotion and attack ads as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murakami27 8,449 Posted March 23, 2025 Share Posted March 23, 2025 Vote to keep PP far away! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyGagasGodSon 413 Posted March 23, 2025 Share Posted March 23, 2025 Will be at the polls to keep PP away for sure. Altho I’m in a liberal stronghold in Montreal so in my riding it’s kinda for sure Let’s see what the rest of Quebec and rest of Canada thinks You are small men. You are not worthy to rule the Dothraki. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emvee 8,829 Posted March 23, 2025 Share Posted March 23, 2025 I’m surprised Elon Musk hasn’t jumped in yet to promote PP or fund the conservatives… or has he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gagaism 12,471 Posted March 23, 2025 Share Posted March 23, 2025 How this looks like for Canadian citizens? What are the possibilities? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 31,120 Posted March 23, 2025 Share Posted March 23, 2025 Hope Mark wins because I saw comments on TikTok saying they "hope Poilievre wins to free Canada from its liberal dictatorship" which makes me think these people are not different from MAGAs....................

CELINE 747 Posted March 23, 2025 Share Posted March 23, 2025 The Liberals have a good chance of winning as polls pivot towards their favour. However, It'll most likely be a minority government. gotharunway.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco 25,070 Posted March 23, 2025 Share Posted March 23, 2025 It's a risky but sensible call to go straight to the polls by Carney. His popularity is better than JT's and thanks to Trump's 51st state BS the polls have closed dramatically with the majority of high standard polling since Mark Carney was sworn in on the 14th giving the Liberal party a 2-3% avg lead. Given the short term nature of the poll and the likelihood of Musk feeling the need to shove himself in, the Liberals may successfully fend off PP. The gays know how to party Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altho I’m in a liberal stronghold in Montreal so in my riding it’s kinda for sure Let’s see what the rest of Quebec and rest of Canada thinks PP just knows how to criticize rather than offer realistic solutions. He reminds me of Andrea Horwath from the Ontario NDP many years ago. If you criticize every little thing way too much I loose respect for you. Put some energy into your own solutions rather than just criticizing all the time Mark Carney has experience in private sector AND in Government (sort of, if you count running Central Bank as part of Government) as well as extensive background in economics Pierre Poilievre just has experience as a career politician, on top of that one that think trickle down economics will fix everything To be fair I do think we over regulatedband over taxed private sector a bit especially since unfortunately we have to compete so heavily with the US. But Mark Carney looks more Centrist than Trudeau anyway and seems open to tweeking the excessive red tape a little bit I think hes much more balanced (and intelligent) than PP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CELINE 747 Posted March 24, 2025 Share Posted March 24, 2025 Carney is a better alternative than Trudeau. I don't think he's the ideal candidate as a PM but he's experienced enough to do the job. Canada needs to restructure its economic and trade policies. PP will end up conforming to Trump and will ruin the economy. gotharunway.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
