| 0:00.0 | It's Wednesday, April 30, 2025. I'm Albert Moller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:14.2 | Well, Canadians went to the polls on Monday, and it turns out, it appears, that the Liberal Party has won a fourth straight victory. |
| 0:24.1 | It does not have an absolute majority in the Parliament, but it is likely that it will be called upon to form a government. |
| 0:31.6 | And at this point, under Prime Minister Mark Carney, who is the leader of the Liberal Party, |
| 0:37.1 | and Carney came to that position just |
| 0:39.1 | months ago because of the resignation of Justin Trudeau, who had been the liberal prime minister. |
| 0:44.0 | Trudeau became very unpopular in himself, and his party became very unpopular. And it was |
| 0:49.2 | expected that the Conservative Party would march to an almost certain victory under the leadership |

| 1:29.3 | crisis, so many other issues, and they wanted change. And the change at that point appeared to |
| 1:34.4 | point to a conservative party victory. But instead, what happened on Monday was a liberal party |
| 1:41.3 | victory. And under a new prime minister, Mark Carney, who of all things is a |
| 1:45.5 | former central banker. That's going to be a big part of the story. He was the governor of the bank |
| 1:51.1 | of Canada. Later, the governor of the bank of England. That's an unlikely platform all of a sudden |
