BURLINGTON, ON
The Mark Carney era will begin Friday when the former Governor of both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England will be sworn in as Prime Minister at Rideau Hall.
Mark Carney – Prime Minister designate
It has been a hectic whirlwind of events. A short leadership race that gave Carney 86% of the votes. Then meeting upon meeting with the current Prime Minister, meetings with the security establishment and meeting with current Cabinet Ministers.
24 Sussex isn’t habitable. So where does the Prime Minister live?
No one has asked where Carney will live. He has a home in Ottawa. 24 Susex isn’t isn’t fir for habitation; Rideau Cottage has been home to Justin Trudeau as long as he has been Prime Minister.
Where he will bed down at the end of each day is the least of his problems – but personal security is an ongoing concern. The Mounties that keep a close watch on have to be very nearby.
Carney is expected to announce his Cabinet sometime Friday as well. He has indicated that it will be a smaller Cabinet.
Carney wants a speedy move into getting the government he will lead in place. Will the Cabinet he names go on to be the one that runs the country – assuming the federal election that will take place sometime before March 24th
Burlington MP seen with Mark Carney during the quick trip to Hamilton. Does that suggest she is Cabinet bound?
When he was in Hamilton talking to steel workers, Burlington MP Karina Gould was seen as part of the group with him – decked out in orange construction clothing with hard hats and safety goggles.
Gould is no longer a member of Cabinet; she resigned when she ran for the leadership
Anyone notice that NO STEEL WORKER would stand with Carney? It’s Anita Anand, Gould and crew in dressup in the background as if Carney is addressing Steel Workers. Second thing, the guy TOOK NO QUESTIONS from the media and drove away. Inside, those filming were told they were not allowed to record sound, only visuals. As in he SOUNDS bad in real life but they are going to voice over with intelligent sounding commentary.
Carney sounds bad, looks awkward, and has no idea what the average Canadian wants. He just is going to take pointers from Davos and WEF for how to RULE us top down.
He is going to crash and burn badly when not given a free ride by the media. Pierre Poiliever better get out the apples. It’s going to be fun.
I think we are done with the Liberal “era” in general. Characterized by top down government, scandal, waste, a bunch of elites asleep at the switch while they bleed us dry. The Carney “era” may last a month tops. Let’s hope.
As I understand these matters the RCMP are not allowed to provide security for private citizens which Carney is. Can someone either correct me or provide insight as to why he has had a RCMP detail at all campaign events? At least the ones that I have seen.
