Canada Has a New Globalist Prime Minister (For Now) – The American Spectator | USA News and PoliticsThe American Spectator

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Jan. 6 that he would resign once the Liberal Party of Canada had concluded a leadership race. As of Sunday, March 9, the race has concluded, and the new leader of the party is Mark Carney. (RELATED: Justin Trudeau Announces His Resignation: What Americans Need to Know)

As of March 10, 2025, Carney has not yet officially become the prime minister of Canada but has been elected as the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, making him the prime minister-designate.

Canadian Prime Minister Selection Process

He will replace Justin Trudeau as prime minister once he is sworn in, which will happen within a few days, but we don’t know exactly when. What is unique about Carney’s bid for prime minister is that he is not an elected official in Canada, as he does not hold a seat in Parliament, which is standard operating procedure. Typically, in Canadian parliamentary proceedings, the prime minister is a member of Parliament who is the leader of the party.

However, technically speaking, the prime minister is appointed by the governor general, who acts on behalf of the monarch, and this appointment is based on the individual’s ability to lead a government with the support of Parliament — not necessarily on their status as an MP

Carney is not the first Liberal in history to reach the apex of the political ladder while not holding office.

For example, John Turner became prime minister in 1984 after winning the Liberal leadership race following the resignation of the prime minister at the time. Turner was not an MP at the moment he assumed the role, though, unlike Carney, he had previously served as one. Similarly, Carney’s lack of a current seat in Parliament does not legally prevent him from becoming prime minister.

The quote, “history does not repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme,” — or something to that effect — is attributed to Mark Twain. Well, in this case, history has literally repeated itself because John Turner took the place of former prime minister Pierre Trudeau — the father of Justin Trudeau. I will leave the Fidel Castro humour aside for the time being. (RELATED: Hasta la Vista, Fidelito!)

When or if he becomes a member of parliament is yet to be seen, as he would either have to run in a vacant riding (district) during the next election or run in a bi-election outside of the normal election cycle.

Mark Carney’s Corporate, Globalist Roots

Carney, a true-blue elite Globalist, boasts a resume that resembles an Alex Jones conspiracy theory. Born in Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, Carney went through Harvard and Oxford. Before joining the Bank of Canada as a deputy governor in 2003, Carney held various esteemed positions at Goldman Sachs.

In 2004, he was appointed as senior associate deputy minister for the Department of Finance Canada. He was named governor of the Bank of Canada in 2007.  He led the Canadian central bank until 2013, when he was appointed as governor of the Bank of England, a position he held until 2020. Simply put, he is a career central banker.

In addition, he demonstrably holds views consistent with the World Economic Forum types, which he expressed in his book Value(s). Carney’s values are those of post-modern liberals, and he is obsessed with a climate change apocalypse and basically believes that economists like him can reshape the world to be more fair, equitable, blah, blah, blah. Of course, this means you might have to own nothing and be happy, or be stronger together when you’re apart, or fit in some other globalist talking point.

We could say that Carney is what Trudeau would have been if Trudeau had any professional competence, and, since the good looks shtick ultimately failed the Liberals, they showed their hand and brought in Canada’s Klaus Schwab figure to try and salvage things. (RELATED: A Better Alternative to the Davos Elites)

But, Carney will likely be gone very soon, as it is an election year, and the Liberals lead a minority government and a snap election looms.

Pierre Piolievre, Canada’s closest thing to a “MAGA” candidate, is chomping at the bit, and his party has a massive lead in the polls. However, this lead was much bigger before Trudeau was replaced, and the Liberals salvaged themselves some seats in the next election, although there is no way it will be enough to stop a landslide victory by the Conservatives.

Time will tell how long Carney will be our elected, yet not really elected, leader, but it shan’t be long before the rubber meets the road and he has to try and win over Canadians as such, and not just a smattering of donors and registered party members.
