Liberal Party members have chosen former central banker Mark Carney to be their new leader and the next prime minister of Canada.

Carney secured enough votes in the first round of voting to win the job, party president Sachit Mehra announced.

Too bad for Chrystia Freeland. I think she would have been a great PM. I watched her speak a few times, and she is well-spoken, smart, and has that little edge like she'd really destroy you if you forced her to.

I would have voted for either, though, and I'm happy for Mark Carney. He'll do a great job.

Politics is harsh. You have to have the personality to communicate effectively to the people. Chrystia just doesn't have that politician's personality. She isn't engaging at all.

Not nearly as bad as PP. Every time I hear the guy speak, it's like he'd rather be doing something else.
