Canadian Conservative Leader Pierre Pollievre did not agree to an interview with the satirical show 22 Minutes and wants to do away with the publicly-funded CBC. He probably did not care for this interview with Carney either.
Carney’s Liberals are expected to win the election today in Canada and form a majority government. Before Trump came into office and started yapping about “51st state”, the Conservatives were expected to win the election easily.

TORONTO — Carney, meet Critch.
CBC says Liberal Leader Mark Carney is among the politicians who will appear on the hour-long “Vote Canadian: A 22 Minutes Election Special,” in which he’ll sit down for a Tim Hortons coffee with comedian Mark Critch.
The special episode of “This Hour Has 22 Minutes” hits Gem on Thursday evening, just over a week after the series wrapped its 32nd season.
In addition to Carney, the episode will feature appearances by NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, Green Party co-leaders Elizabeth May and Jonathan Pedneault — and a not-entirely-willing Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.
Donald Trump is spooked by the new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Carney is a former central banker and the rumor is that on the phone Carney threatened to sell Canada’s holdings of Americans bonds unless Trump stopped threatening Canada.

UPDATE: The Liberals have won the election. It’s still unclear if they can will win with a majority or a minority.
