Note that he’s only Prime Minister temporarily. He’s replacing Trudeau and will call elections soon (must be before October) and will go up against Poilievre.
EDIT: Didn’t mean to suggest he won’t win the election. But he’ll have to defend the seat.
Potentially temporarily - the tariffs and 51st state rhetoric has really shifted the polling there from an easy conservative win to a liberal resurgence
That's not really accurate. What we have is one unhinged far left polster (ekos) doing very questionable thing to skew the average and some weirdness out of ipsos occasionally. You can see many of the individual polls here: https://338canada.com/polls.htm
I'm not going to bother posting the deleted twitter rants from the guy that runs ekos, but he's ruining his reputation right now because nobody will believe him after this. Carney got the new guy bump and now that people are getting to know him the polls look uglier for him each week because he's one of the architects of the policies that are so unpopular.
The speeches tonight by Chrétien and Carney were quite powerful and succinct. There were a lot of gems in there that will likely go viral on US and Canada news networks.
But what struck me the most from the speeches was the strong sense of certainty that Carney is the right person to take Canada into the next decade.
Also schoolboy French speaker, but my assumption is that it's a malapropism: "Les Canadiens sont inquiets du coût de la vie!" would mean "Canadians are worried about the cost of living", and my guess is "cul de la vie" is how some heard his accent.
> Carney tripped up, most notably when he said, “we agree with Hamas,” instead of “we agree about Hamas,” to the delight of Conservatives all over social media.
Interesting to read the perspective of Americans who don't understand that different countries have different election systems, and that Canada doesn't directly elect their PMs.

Allow me to be obtuse, and correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't every moment unprecedented? Like, isn't that how time works?
The next few years will be delightful.
