I'm writing this on March 5th, 2025 - one day after the latest "Trump tariffs" took effect. At present it seems highly likely first that Mark Carney will be elected liberal party leader, and so prime minister of Canada, on March 9; and, second, that he will run in either an immediate or slightly delayed election as the man to protect Canada from Trump.

September 2011 featured a leadership race in the Alberta Conservative party - with the winner, Alison Redford, inheriting a legislative majority and thus the premier's job. All six of the candidates faced a continual barrage of complaints about the health care system and all six promised to find the money and policies needed to fix it - with four offering magical handwaves; one promising to break federal law to bring in private money; and Ms. Redford committing to increased public spending on nursing care.
