Mark Carney, the former Bank of Canada governor, trounced the competition Sunday winning the Liberal leadership with nearly 86 per cent support. Carney will become prime minister in the days ahead. He will appoint a new cabinet. And is widely expected to call a federal election campaign next week. In this bonus episode of "It's Political," the Toronto Star's national columnist Susan Delacourt joins Althia Raj to discuss Sunday's leadership event, from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's speech to Carney's big introduction to the country, whether former Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland should be in cabinet and what to watch for in the days ahead.  The clips this week were sourced from CPAC and CBC. This episode of "It's Political" was produced by Althia Raj and Kevin Sexton, who also served as sound engineer. Our theme music is by Isaac Joel.
