Mark Carney is often described as a disruptor prime minister, and this explains, to many people, how he managed to beat Pierre Poilievre in 2025. Canadians wanted change from the status quo and from the Justin Trudeau Liberals, and, until Carney came along, Poilievre was the only candidate offering it. Against Trudeau, Poilievre was unquestionably the disruptor candidate—the guy who was going to fire people, repeal things, bulldoze through Ottawa’s gatekeepers, and drag the country into something new, whether everyone was ready for it or not.

I have a friend who is pretty communist, and is supporting Carney for now. His reasoning is that the capitalist hellscape will continue to exist for the foreseeable future, and he would prefer Canada be on the top of the pyramid than to continue to support an even more evil regime as a brick at the bottom.
