It is with great joy in my heart that I say Justin Trudeau is finally NOT our Prime Minister any more.
His duly chosen successor - chosen by the Liberal Party only - became the new Prime Minister moments ago.

The video shows Mark Carney's swearing in as PM. (The shortish grey-haired woman who also signs documents is Mary Simon, our Governor-General.) As you'll see, the PM-designate has to make three separate paragraphs worth of declarations in both English and French before he can sign the book that says officially that he is PM. (I'm sure the ceremony has changed over the years; until well after WW2, English-speaking PMs rarely spoke more than a few words of French.)
The rumours are very strong to the effect that a widely-demanded federal election will be called within the next few days. I fervently hope that Carney will set a new record for shortest regime of a Prime Minister in Canadian history but we'll have to see what voters decide on that front. There were plenty of clues that Trudeau would be horrible but the majority of voters (myself very much excluded) fell for his schtick so maybe Carney will fool them again....
I have no idea what the future holds for Trudeau but I passionately hope to never see or hear him again. Unquestionably the worst PM we've ever had! Having said that, I feel sure his buddies in the Liberal Party will have set up some kind of sinecure for him even though he was the most singularly unqualified national leader we've ever had. (The only jobs he's ever had were teaching high school drama part time and teaching snowboarding.)
