After the Liberal Party boasted in January of signing up nearly 400,000 registered Liberals, only about 38 per cent of them made it through the verification process and turned out to vote in the race that elected Mark Carney as the party’s new leader and Canada’s next prime minister.
The party said 163,836 people successfully went through the authentication process. Of those, 151,899 voted in the race, or 93 per cent, which is the percentage the party is using for turnout.
OTTAWA — A day into his new role, Prime Minister-designate Mark Carney has already managed to anger some Muslim voters and Liberal supporters by appointing former public safety minister Marco Mendicino as his chief of staff.
Canadians, as new Liberal leader Mark Carney pointed out in his low-key victory speech , want change.
The question, perhaps the ballot question, is whether Carney can convince them he is an agent of that change, and distinguish himself from his predecessor, Justin Trudeau.
The task was not helped by the format of Sunday evening’s event, which served as both a tribute to Trudeau and a launching pad for his successor.
Drug cartels are using Canada’s trade system to launder the proceeds of drug trafficking, according to an internal police intelligence report obtained by the Investigative Journalism Foundation.
The 2022 assessment from the RCMP’s organized crime division says that “cartel drug trafficking” accounts for most of the money being laundered in Canada through trade, according to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
Newly minted Liberal leader Mark Carney isn’t wasting time when it comes to spreading fake news — following in the footsteps of Justin Trudeau and Steven Guilbeault.
During his victory speech on Sunday, Carney said, “Pierre Poilievre would let our planet burn. This is not leadership, it’s ideology.”
Audience members booed Poilievre.
Mark Carney has won the Liberal party leadership contest by an enormous margin. He will soon be the prime minister of Canada. It’s a moment of triumph for the former governor of the Bank of England, the Governor of the Bank of Canada, a senior banker at Goldman Sachs based in the United States, Japan and Britain, for a former shapeshifting personage of the United Nations, for a Davos regular: for one of the most ambitious, globally ambitious, guys around. It’s a repudiation of the idea that a citizen of nowhere financier type educated at Harvard and Oxford could never rise to the top in our populist age.
Tory leader Pierre Poilievre has warned President Donald Trump would find out about Mark Carney’s American holdings and leverage them against Canadians.
Poilievre speaking at a press conference on Monday ripped into the “worsening situation” Canada faces after the Liberals installed Mark Carney as the party’s leader and thereby de facto prime minister.
VANCOUVER — Shocking new details are emerging about a major Chinese organized crime suspect who met privately with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, according to a police source who confirmed recent reporting from The Globe and Mail. The individual, Paul King Jin, is allegedly implicated in money laundering operations spanning the Western Hemisphere and has been a target of multiple failed major investigations in British Columbia. These investigations sought to unravel the complex interrelations of underground casinos and real estate investment, fentanyl and methamphetamine trafficking, and financial crimes that allegedly funnel drug proceeds from diaspora community underground banks throughout North America and Latin America, with connections to Chinese and Hong Kong financial institutions.
Oh, Canada – you guys are a trip.
Every last Canadian politician has been in the middle of sputtering in indignation and couldn’t wait to get to the next microphone surrounded by a press scrum to rail against Donald Trump.
He has global experience. He has proven leadership skills. And he has the connections and the clout needed to steer his country through a perilous moment in its history. As Mark Carney succeeds Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister of Canada, he has made much of his credentials as a “rock star” central banker and of his undoubtedly impressive collection of other grand-sounding jobs.
There is just one snag. As it turns out, it takes only a cursory glance at his record to work out that Carney’s reputation is completely overblown. In reality, he has been over-promoted all over again.
Life in the shadows– Toronto’s undocumented migrants – most of whom initially entered the country legally – grapple with substandard employment, health and housing options
Every morning across the Greater Toronto Area, thousands of undocumented workers head out to their jobs in construction, cleaning and home care, despite the fact that they are not legally allowed to live or work in Canada.
Unlike in the U.S., where many undocumented people entered without authorization at the southern border, most of these individuals in Canada entered the country legally. They came as temporary workers, international students, tourists or refugee claimants, and saw their visas expire or refugee claims rejected before they were able to transition to another type of legal status.
The Globe’s BIG Concern: The public may turn against “migration”.
How corrupt are they? They write positively about the Liberal government’s recent decision to reward unscrupulous employers who hire illegals.
They don’t give a crap that you are unemployed, that your health is sacrificed due to system strain, that your rent went through the roof or that your children may never be able to afford a home.
They get to virtue signal and peacock their progressiveness because you pay their salaries.
Mark Carney says he’s the pragmatist to lead Canada through turbulent times. As evidence he offers his stewardship of the Bank of Canada through the 2008 financial crisis and the Bank of England through the tumult that followed Brexit.
When it comes to politics, however, the former Goldman Sachs banker is a relative novice. He has never served in Canada’s parliament and will soon become the country’s first prime minister to serve without having been an MP.
Mark Carney is at it again. He tells you what you want to hear, but leaves out the part that he doesn't want you to know.
Here are two clips. One is from tonight, the other is from a disastrous interview in January.
He says that he is going to eliminate the CONSUMER carbon tax.… pic.twitter.com/HV1p1AWo7E

Just three more years of deficit to invest in growing the Canadian economy, and then we’ll get right back to balance.
If Mark Carney’s pledge sounds like something you’ve heard before, that’s because Justin Trudeau made a very similar commitment a mere ten years ago.
To refresh your memory, Canada was undergoing what is called a technical recession during the 2015 election campaign.
Newly-appointed Liberal leader Mark Carney told reporters on Parliament Hill Monday afternoon that though he is not yet installed in the role of prime minister, it won’t be long.
“I’m not prime minister yet,” replied Carney when asked about next steps in the trade war with President Donald Trump.
As widely expected, Mark Carney has become the new Liberal party of Canada leader — and will become Canada’s next prime minister.
The former Bank of England and Bank of Canada governor won by an overwhelming margin on Sunday, taking 85.9 percent of the vote. Former Liberal deputy prime minister and finance minister Chrystia Freeland finished a distant second with 8 percent. Carney will now meet with outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to set a timetable for the transition of power.
