Traditional Conservatives should support Mark Carney in Canada’s next election

Traditional Conservatives should support Mark Carney in Canada’s next election. Let the Elon Musk Conservatives support Pierre Poilievre or the PPC.

Mark Carney’s economic record makes him the most qualified candidate for prime minister and the best choice to steer Canada through the second Trump presidency.

In his roles as governor of the Bank of Canada — a position he was appointed to by Stephen Harper — and later the Bank of England, Carney guided both countries through financial crises. He went on to focus his efforts on encouraging the financial sector to address climate change.

We already know that Pierre Poilievre won’t stand up to Donald Trump’s tariff threats. Carney, on the other hand, has demonstrated strength and resolve:

“President Trump’s latest tariffs are an attack on Canadian workers, families, and businesses. My government will ensure our response has maximum impact in the US and minimal impact here in Canada, while supporting the workers impacted. My government will keep our tariffs on until the Americans show us respect and make credible, reliable commitments to free and fair trade.”

Canadians don’t want Pierre Poilievre to become prime minister. A majority of Canadians have a negative opinion of the CPC leader, and his net favourability is 28 points less than that of Mark Carney.

What Canada needs is someone who can bring the country together in the next election with sound economic policy, while maintaining Canada’s progressive interests and values.

It’s plain to see that that person is Mark Carney.
