#westminstersystem
I have to say, every time #pierrepoilievre refers to "a fourth term" for the Liberals, it vexes me. The correct term in a #westminstersystem is "mandate", not "term".

Traditionally, the party that wins the most seats in an election forms government but this is not guaranteed.
Under the Westminster System, King could form an alliance with other parties to hold onto power and remain as prime minister. He did exactly that.

To those saying Carney wasn't elected: We do not vote for PM in Canada, we vote for a party by way of Members of Parliament per riding. Canada voted for the Liberal party last election, who have now elected their new leader.

Poilievre's supporters are #antiintellectuals who don't comprehend Canada's parliamentary system, the #Westminstersystem and who apparently don't want to learn about it. They cited US constitutional amendments in their Memorandum of Agreement as though they apply in Canada when they don't.⤵️
