Outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addresses supporters in his final speech as Liberal leader soon before Canadians find out who the party has chosen as its new leader.
As Liberal party leader, it’s Mark Carney, a former central banker and economic policy guru.
As Prime Minister, it remains to be seen. In theory, Carney could take over from where Trudeau left off before Parliament was prorogued. In reality, the opposition parties have already promised to topple the government and trigger an early election.
Our election cycle is much shorter than the USA’s, so even if there’s an election called tomorrow we’ll have a new government and PM by the summer.

And thank fucking God for a shorter election cycle
I remember the John Oliver bit where he laughs at how quaint it was when our media described a 45 day campaign as “grueling.”
