Mark Carney says it's 'no time for politics as usual' as he launches campaign to replace Trudeau (www.cbc.ca)

Carney, 59, kicked off his campaign to take the reins of the governing party at the Edmonton-area hockey rink where he learned to skate as a boy while growing up on the Prairies.

"I'm doing this because Canada is the best country in the world, but it still could be even better," Carney said.

The Harvard-educated Carney said he has the economic bona fides needed to steer Canada through a period of uncertainty as the country stares down president-elect Donald Trump and the threat of punishing tariffs on all our goods.

Carney said Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is the "worst possible" choice to put on the other side of the negotiating table with Trump.

Things are moving fast. They tightened it up a couple of days after this article. Currently it's 14+, citizen or PR and registered by Jan 27th. Here's the reg page. You don't have to give them money. I don't think they can check if you're another party member. If I was worried about that, and was a member of say the NDP, I'd cancel my existing membership, register, vote, then cancel and reregister with NDP.

I registered with Alberta NDP last year, does that affiliate me with the federal NDP at all?

Good Q. I wouldn't think so but could be wrong.
