The leader of Canada‘s Conservative Party responded to the election news on Sunday by blasting newly-elected Liberal Party leader Mark Carney as being complicit in the economic policies that of Justin Trudeau.

The episode has not only given Trudeau a bump in support, but it’s delivered a potential lifeline to his flailing Liberal Party ahead of the expected election. It’s also a boon for his successor, Mark Carney, who was elected Liberal leader on Sunday and will soon take the prime minister’s office, at least briefly.

After months of speculation and anti-incumbency, Canada's Liberal Party will announce its new leader today, replacing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who will lead the party in the general elections scheduled later this year.
