Now that Mark Carney has won the job of Canadian prime minister he should dangle opportunities and passports and the promise of fast-tracked citizenship to every American mover and shaker, writes Vinay Menon. They’d all prefer to live under Carney instead of a carny barker.

Mark Carney must have mixed emotions today.

He is ecstatic after winning Monday’s election. When the calendar flipped to 2025, the Liberal Party of Canada seemed more doomed than Romeo and Juliet. Justin Trudeau was less popular than gonorrhea. The early prediction markets called for a Pierre Poilievre landslide. That poor bastard ended up losing his own seat. That’s like choking to death on a macaroon at your bake sale.
