Don't forget. Folks can also build something entirely different from the NDP in this moment. People already are :)

Interesting, but, no, I don't think Carney has snake-charmed Trump.

Also, you forgot to mention Canadian exceptionalism as an election winner! https://socraticgadfly.blogspot.com/2025/05/canadian-elections-winner-canadian.html

"He lost his party’s leadership because he was using party funds for his own gain, and now he’s Leader of the Opposition again."

He was chosen by the Parliament caucus in this case, not the whole party. In the latter situation it might be different.

Keep in mind he was House Leader during the last session- Pollievre's deputy, in essence. This is just a temporary promotion, anyway.

Plus the people in his Saskatchewan riding want him there, in some capacity. Having been Speaker and Leader of the Opposition at different occasions practically makes him a celebrity in Canadian political terms. And it's hard to out celebrities from their ridings.
