handsome Bernie Sanders, was the prime minister of Canada, the Liberal Party in Canada was in a state of complete electoral collapse. The polls showed that the Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poliev, who was in fact a good candidate, was winning. The Conservative Party was winning by 25 points over Justin Trudeau. The Liberal Party was in a state of absolute meltdown.

And then Justin Trudeau dropped out and the polls started to come together really, really quickly. So last night, the election result, Mark Carney, who replaced Justin Trudeau, you can call him ugly Justin Trudeau.

66.885 - 83.916 Ben Shapiro

So basically, if Justin Trudeau is handsome Bernie Sanders and Mark Carney is ugly Justin Trudeau, his Liberals are now projected to win the Canadian election, according to the Wall Street Journal. They were set to win a fourth term in national elections on Monday, fourth consecutive term. So, I mean, well done on you guys, Canada.

84.696 - 95.519 Ben Shapiro

Oh boy, you make some choices you're going to have to live with up there. It wasn't clear whether the Liberals would actually win a majority of seats or a smaller share that would require them to win support from other parties to govern. That'd make a very large difference, by the way.

95.559 - 112.05 Ben Shapiro

If they only have enough seats in the Canadian parliament that they have to form a coalition with another party, that still leaves them vulnerable to the possibility of some sort of vote of no confidence in the future. If, however, they have a pretty solid majority in the parliament, then you get four years of Mark Carney up in Canada.

112.991 - 131.301 Ben Shapiro

Carney is the former head of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England. He is like a World Bank IMF guy. He is very much in line with the sort of Green New Deal, relatively open borders, Justin Trudeau policy. His expected victory, says the Wall Street Journal, is a remarkable one for a party headed for defeat at the start of the year.

131.742 - 150.011 Ben Shapiro

Again, the conservatives had a more than 20 point lead in January. And a lot of that was because of Justin Trudeau's mismanagement, anger over inflation, high housing costs, immigration, insane social leftism. And then something happened. And the thing that happened essentially was that Justin Trudeau dropped out.
