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.

The broad Canadian public is against woke policies.

Proof please.

Read the public polling of the amount of people who support same sex marriage, it's going down.

... and

Look at the polling numbers of the public turning against the ideology of transgenderism.

Please post the relevant polls.

Not unexpected. Those without facts rely only on their feewings.

I mean it's possible that it may have fallen some due to the relentless campaign against it in thr US, coupled with the typical leakage of American propaganda into Canada. The support for gay marriage was never 100% so it's conceivable that it may have dropped a bit but I don't expect a dramatic change or anything approaching a majority against. Not coming off of 79% approval in 2023.

I really liked how Carney addressed the woke scare. He said that while America engages in a war on woke, Canadians will continue to value inclusiveness. Also he contrasted the US as a melting pot with Canada as a mosaic. Simple.
