LILLEY UNLEASHED: Reasons why Carney could call a December election
Brian Lilley, the Toronto Sun's political columnist, has a question for anyone planning a quiet December: what if Mark Carney calls an election? His Lilley Unleashed segment on that idea is the busiest thing on the paper's channel.
A new upload here usually opens gently. This one started at about fifteen times that usual first-day pace. The channel as a whole was running a little below its normal daily level, so the jump belongs to this single video rather than to a busy news day. It is drawing conversation too, with comments running at roughly a third of the likes.
The subject carries weight. Carney, a former governor of both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, became Liberal leader and prime minister in March 2025 and won that April's federal election with a minority government. The title promises reasons. The description keeps them for the video and offers only Lilley's view that an early vote is not a crazy thought.
