I wish, but the establishment keeps talking about Mark Carney. (Don’t know why.)
She’s been on my radar for a while, and god do I want her influencing Canada’s decisions.
Pollievre was a cryptobro, and only an idiot … oh hell, they’re running things now, aren’t they?
I remember when he was appointed as Governor of the Bank of Canada. The daily market reporter for our bank did her economics reports at the end of my desk row and was smart as a whip. I asked her, noting that I didn’t think there was a grand conspiracy afoot, whether we really needed another Goldman’s guy at the head of a national bank.
(That said, it’s hard to be well positioned in finance and not have been at least Goldman’s adjacent.)
I suppose Carney is more palatable to the powers that be. 
My impression is that he’s smart, forthright, but the question has to be considered whether he’s another Ignatieff.
“He didn’t come back for you”? They just rewrite themselves, don’t they?
Freeland announced her resignation in a letter written to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that she posted to social media. In that letter, Freeland said Trudeau told her last week that she would be moved out of the finance portfolio and offered her a different cabinet position.
“Social media”? If it’s X, they should say to, if not, say that too.
I’ve seen one news report that her resignation dropped in the middle of the Trudeau/premiers (province governors) meeting in Toronto, where Doug Ford controlled the phone. Stab!
The polling companies are jumping right in, with results from days ago.

And now the news claim is that Mark Carney was supposed to be the new finance minister after Freeland dropped (flung!) that budget. Does that make any sense?
In a Westminster-style parliament, he would need a House of Commons seat first. I remember Joe Clark pulling from the Senate to make up his cabinet, but I don’t see any way that Carney could be slotted in that quickly.
That seems like a dodgy rumour.
AFAIK it is a parliamentary convention that the cabinet be drawn from elected members or senators. General Andrew McNaughton was Minister of Defense without being an elected member or a senator. That’s the only non-elected, non-senate example I could find. … in a cursory search of immediately available references.
It doesn’t say much for the personal dynamics, maybe event the bench strength, of the current government if they are trying to pull Carney in. I would be surprised if he stepped in at this point. It would make for a very brief parliamentary career.
Is there a war on?
Okay, more wars than usual.
I still don’t see a way that Mark Carney could be quickly inserted, or why he’d want to be.
Huh. Why would Justin Trudeau bring in his designated successor?
For context:
While few ships actually fly the Swiss flag, Switzerland is home to a lot of companies that operate ships, i.e. they charter the ships but manage them from Switzerland.
By gross tonnage, Switzerland is the World’s #10 shipping nation; including commodities traders which have their own shipping operations they’re #2 (data from 2022).
Russia’s got its next invasion lined up.
