‘Project Fear’ figurehead and former ‘politically neutral’ Bank of England Governor Mark Carney has been elected leader of Canada’s Liberal Party, taking 85% of the party vote and will replace Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister. Carney must hold a general election by October, which he could lose to Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre – who has maintained a poll lead over the left-wing party. Though the Conservatives’ lead has been dipping since Trump started threatening tariffs…
Carney used his victory speech last night to slam President Trump, declaring him a “threat” intent on “attacking Canadian families, workers, and businesses” and claiming that the U.S. “wants our resources, our water, our land, our country… If they succeeded, they would destroy our way of life.” He’s also recently compared Trump to Voldemort, slamming his “ridiculous, insulting” idea of Canada becoming a 51st state. Unlikely to help any trade war peace talks…
Green Deputy Leader Rachel Millward said:
“The reality is that it’s Zack Polanski who brought the nation, Andy Burnham. And if we hadn’t had the success of the Green Party in this last year since Zack’s been leading, which has been unprecedented, phenomenal success and a growth from about 60,000 members to 230,000, if we hadn’t had that much pressure on Labour, then we’d probably still be in the Starmer regime, which was pretty much ushering in a Reform government with its lurch to the right. So actually, what we’re seeing now is that we’ve set the political agenda and the government is picking that up.”
