mark carney just peaked. he called an election at the "honeymoon" stage of his leadership process, where he maximized his bump. don't blame the guy - he timed it perfectly. however, he won't get that many votes next time. at all. not even close.
i would project that canadians actually probably won't like mr. carney very much, and that liberals will like him less than conservatives.
this could actually be a very rough couple of months. when carney goes into the next election, it will be on a downward slope, and he's going to need to hope he doesn't bottom the party out, but he might.
it's a delay. that's what it is. all of the things culminated in a delay towards the liberal party's collapse, which is now scheduled for late 2025 or early 2026.
the ndp need to move quickly because this should not have happened and any other leader would have capitalized on trudeau's unpopularity. the ndp could completely flip this whole thing over if they pick the right leadership team, which doesn't have to be white, exactly, but should certainly try a little harder to fit in to canadian society. most south indians are actually relatively good at integrating and fairly moderate to liberal; they aren't the ethnic group i find myself concerned with. the ndp shouldn't have born the brunt of this, but so be it.
carney should have taken the job as finance minister.
he's not going to like what happens next.
