Coffee House Shots: Revenge of the centrists – Carney wins in Canada

Coffee House Shots: Revenge of the centrists – Carney wins in Canada

Published 10 months ago
Description
Mark Carney has won the Canadian election, leading the Liberal Party to a fourth term. Having only been Prime Minister for 6 weeks, succeeding Justin Trudeau, this is an impressive achievement when you consider that Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives were over 20 percentage points ahead in the polls earlier this year.

Trump’s rhetoric against Canada – engaging in a trade war and calling for the country to become the 51st state – is credited as turning around the fortunes of the Liberals. Are there lessons for conservatives across the anglosphere, including Kemi Badenoch?

Patrick Gibbons speaks to James Heale and Michael Martins.
