1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Brian Bridge five seventeen here on News Talk CB, former

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: Canadian and English Central banker. Yes, the banker has won.

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: The governor Mark Kearney will be Canada's next prime minister

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: after Trudeau said goodbye and resigned. He won the Liberal

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: Party's internal leadership election eighty five percent of the vote,

6
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: So the party likes him. The question is will the

7
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: Canadian people. Here's some of his acceptance speech.

8
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: I know that these are dark days, dark days brought

9
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: on by a country we can no longer trust and

10
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 2: we have to look out for each other.

11
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 1: Joining me is Rachel Alo. She's with CTV, the national

12
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: correspondent covering politics. They are joining us from Ottawa. Rachel, Hello, Hey,

13
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: how are you very well? Thank you? So tell us

14
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: all about the new leader, Mark Carney. Who is he?

15
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 3: Yeah? So, Mark Carney is former Bank of Canada governor

16
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 3: as well as the former governor of the Bank of England.

17
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 3: He is a relative political newcomer. He doesn't have a

18
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: seat in our House of Commons, so he's not an

19
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 3: elected member of parliament yet, but he's kind of rumored

20
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 3: entering into the political force. Really ramped up this summer

21
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 3: into the fall and then of course, we saw Prime

22
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 3: Minister Justin Trudeau resign and within ten days of that

23
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 3: resignation announcement, Mark Carney threw his hat into the ring,

24
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 3: and just here in Ottawa tonight has been elected the

25
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 3: next Liberal leader of a federal party here in Canada.

26
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: Already you've got the Conservatives coming out and attacking him, saying, look,

27
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: they're trying to trick you, the Liberals trying to trick

28
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: you into a fourth term now that Trudeau's gone. Is

29
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: there because he's obviously being the head of the central

30
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: Bank in the UK and in Canada. Is that part

31
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: of the strategy to try and push that those economic

32
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: credentials for the Canadian voters.

33
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 3: Absolutely it is. I think at this current moment, with

34
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 3: this ongoing trade war with the United States, the state

35
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 3: of the Canadian economy and who is best place to

36
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 3: manage it is going to be one of the biggest

37
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 3: ballot questions in our upcoming federal election. I think what

38
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 3: is also behind the Conservative attacks in this country is

39
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 3: what we've seen in the polls. The Liberals under Justin

40
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 3: Trudeau were very far behind. The Conservative had about a

41
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 3: twenty point lead when Trudeau resigned, and over the last

42
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: two months since, we've seen a real resurgence of the Liberals.

43
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: They were kind of buoyed by the Liberal leadership race,

44
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 3: new interest in the party that Trudeau was going to

45
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 3: be stepping aside, and some of that was interested in

46
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 3: Carnie as an alternative option for those voters who wanted change.

47
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 3: But then this question of who is best to handle

48
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 3: Donald Trump came up and the Paliaev Conservatives have kind

49
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 3: of struggled to land their talking points on that one.

50
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: So the Conservatives are going full force against Karne now

51
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 3: because they're seeing this shift, seeing a lot of Canadians

52
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 3: being interested in the Liberals once again, when as of

53
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,119
Speaker 3: just a few months ago, it was basically the next

54
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 3: election was Polyiev to lose. So that is kind of

55
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: where the Conservatives are coming from in criticizing Carney's credentials

56
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 3: as someone who they've kind of taken aim at, saying

57
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: he's re kind of inflated his involvement in helping Canada

58
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 3: as a global financial crisis back in two thousand and

59
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 3: eight two thousand and nine, and then questioning his inexperience

60
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 3: as a political leader, which actually in his speech tonight,

61
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 3: Karney took direct aim at Polly Evan saying, well, I

62
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,839
Speaker 3: have experienced in this other than what Polia has, who

63
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 3: is a Conservative Party leader, has been in the House

64
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 3: of Commons, a member of Parliament for basically his entire.

65
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: Career, so he's an institutionalized politician. I suppose would be

66
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: the a tech line. Does this mean we.

67
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: Could see direct I think Carney is the exact opposite.

68
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: Does this mean we could say the consider's net coment

69
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: hotter against Trump.

70
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 3: It's possible. I'm really curious to hear where the Conservatives go.

71
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 3: We've saw the Conservatives in the last little while try

72
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 3: to kind of really wrap themselves around the Canadian flag

73
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 3: and talk about this message of Canada First. But Carney

74
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: has now put out a clear counter to that tonight,

75
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 3: to being this new slogan of Canada Strong. So it'll

76
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 3: be an interesting battle. We are anticipating now the federal

77
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: election could be called within a week. Carney now has

78
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: to go through the transition process to have formally become

79
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 3: Prime Minister. Once that happens, he will have the power

80
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 3: to trigger an election, which a lot of folks here

81
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: in Canada are thinking is the most likely next step.

82
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 3: Because he doesn't have a seat Why would he go

83
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 3: into Parliament, go into the House of Commons and kind

84
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 3: of call out the fact that he's not elected instead

85
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 3: use that as a talking point to justify to Canadians.

86
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 3: Why now is the time that he needs a strong

87
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 3: and mandate to go to the polls and then see

88
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 3: that battle player between the Liberals and Conservatives in it

89
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 3: will wait that just a few months ago, I think

90
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 3: is going to play quite differently, Simmen expected really interesting.
