In 2008, a public opinion survey showed that 51% of Canadians believed they voted to directly elect the prime minister.[14] In fact, the prime minister, along with the other ministers in Cabinet, is appointed by the governor general on behalf of the monarch.
And serves at the pleasure of the monarch. The monarch usually just goes along with the election to give the appearance of sovereignty.
But I have the distinct feeling that the US now owns Canada.
This will be interesting to see how this plays out.
LOL Yup. We're all wondering why he chose some riding in Ottawa (while booting the actual MP people elected there - after also booting him from the leadership race -- the very rare double boot).
As a finance person, he should have went with a riding in Toronto. Those dumbasses will still vote for him.
My hope is, if the Libs some how do win this election, that Carney does not win his seat, so they'll have to open parliament without a leader on the floor. It would be hilarious.

Let me get this right.
A GG appointed by a PM will without letters patent represent the Crown and now apoint a PM.
Does anyone see the lie ?
Hmmmm. An interesting development.
