Both front-runner Mark Carney and his main challenger Chrystia Freeland have anchored their campaigns on the threat Trump poses on Canada

…and if Carney wins, he’ll be PM but not an MP. The last time the PM was not a MP, it was John Turner. That was after Justin’s father Pierre resigned. History is repeating.

The LPC lost badly under Turner in the next election - Cross your fingers.

The polls have clearly shown that Carney as the perceived front runner is crushing the conservatives lead

I don’t know if they’ll force a general election right away, but it would be wise for Carney to seek a mandate.

He doesn’t have a seat so I think an election will be called asap so he can get a seat.

is a seat a requirement to be PM?

No not a requirement, he can be PM without a seat - but it’s very unusual. There will be a general election called soon. He’ll get a seat.

Any Senate appointments available right now? PM can rule from Senate.

I think all senate appointments are full. My guess is there will be an election called March 10.
