Pretty simple. A bunch of people buy memberships to the liberal party and vote on the leaders, so the votes of MPs are relatively irrelevant - At least the changed the rules so Chinese and Russian agents couldn't vote...

In a strategic policy move, the Liberal Party has introduced tighter restrictions on who can vote in its upcoming leadership race. For the first time, only Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be allowed to cast their ballots. Previously, the party had allowed non-Canadian residents to vote, a policy that has now been deemed unsustainable in light of security concerns. By limiting participation to those with permanent ties to Canada, the party seeks to preserve the integrity of its democratic processes and limit the influence of foreign entities.

This is my other fav - Democracy in Action! - so long as you have $350k hanging around.

While voting rules have tightened, the entry fee for leadership candidates has also been significantly increased. To run in the race, candidates must raise $350,000, a steep increase from the $75,000 fee in the 2013 race when Justin Trudeau became leader. This change aims to ensure that only serious contenders with the resources to lead the party are able to enter the race. The fee is five times higher than what the Conservatives charged for their 2022 leadership contest, reflecting the increasing costs of running a political campaign in Canada.

Not surprised Carbon Tax Carney won - but a little surprised by the margin. He literally was the architect of these policies that sunk Trudeau. How stupid are Canadians? Really? Some days I think about going back there to work as they are such an easy people to manipulate - but the flip side is that they go crying to HR every time you say anything they deem offensive.

Were your parents the ones to spread the woke mind disease from Canada to California all those years ago?

There have to be some papers out there explaining the Canadian obsession with telling Americans to F-off. It's such a silly mentality - you don't see Kiwi's constantly bashing Australia. It's the opposite - they're usually grateful for the opportunities Australia gives them which are typically better.
