Summary
Mark Carney pulled off political theater magic, turning his minority Liberals into a solid majority by convincing five MPs from rival parties—including NDP and Conservatives—to defect. This behind-the-scenes coup, rare in Canadian politics, lets him govern without constant compromise while keeping his global finance reputation intact. Key figures like an Inuit progressive and a social conservative joined his fold, betting on Carney’s momentum and shifting global dynamics. Recent election wins confirm his new power, enabling him to ditch Trudeau-era policies—like slashing immigration targets and killing a capital gains tax hike. Now with full control, Carney must unite his new coalition and deliver on promises amid tough trade talks and a strained U.S. relationship.
