Shaping up different, I didn't have the unholy union of Mark Carney and Doug Ford on my bingo card but here we are with Ford praising Carney for his economic portfolio and experience. that's a relationship that could hurt the CPC long term

So excuse my ignorance but how can someone be PM without being a member of Parliament? Is this the first time this has happened in Canadian history?

To me this is almost a Elon Musk situation, literally unelected by the public (winning a party election isn’t the same as winning a general election), yet is going to play a large part in government.

It's not. It's pretty common in parliamentary systems. Convention dictates he runs in a by-election ASAP but something tells me a general election may happen before then.

Excellent. Some of our best governments were small, tight cabinets. Let's hope he can out together so top-tier talent for it. I wonder if Blair stays on Defence? Anyone a sitting Liberal that would be a better choice for you guys?
