| 0:00.0 | Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's fell again. |
| 0:05.0 | So today, we're going to talk about Carney, Canada, and what's next. |
| 0:12.0 | On Monday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney obtained a majority government with special election wins. |
| 0:21.6 | This means the Liberal Party can now pass legislation on their own, without the help of any other party. |
| 0:29.6 | Over the last few months, a number of members of Parliament have switched from their original party to the Liberals, |
| 0:36.6 | and then the Special Election W wins put them over the top. |
