For the week of March 16, 2025:
Canada has its 24th Prime Minister.
On March 14, Mark Carney took the oath of office and unveiled his Ontario-centric, 24-minister cabinet. It was five days after the Liberal Party leadership coronation. It was also one day after Justin Trudeau said farewell via 30-second social media video.
Mark Carney’s buzzword is building. Is he building a new government or building an election campaign with leftovers from the Trudeau era?
To answer that question and more is guest Mario Canseco of Research Co.
Plus Pacific Rim and Pacific Northwest headlines and a special St. Patrick’s Day edition of the Virtual Nanaimo Bar.
