Carney's Rise to Power
In this episode, we break down Mark Carney's rise to Liberal leadership and what it means for Canada's future—especially as he positions himself to become Prime Minister without Canadians having a direct say in the process. They discuss how our voting system allows this to happen and the growing frustration among voters. With Pierre Poilievre being painted as Canada’s version of Donald Trump, is this just political maneuvering, or is there truth behind the comparison? And with the NDP’s history of propping up the Liberals, will Jagmeet Singh once again back their leadership, or could we see a shift?
