Thanks for that summary. I think the big gap in my understanding is that the PM doesn’t even have to be an elected official. They essentially always are, but not having that codified is a surprise.

In my nightmare scenario, the cons eke out a majority, toss Pierre, and name Elon Musk as PM is Canada.

Is this reporting true?

After maintaining frontrunner status throughout the two-month race, the former Bank of Canada and Bank of England governor will become this country’s next, and 24th prime minister within days.

How does an unelected banker walk into becoming Prime Minister? Doesn’t he need to be elected by Canadians first?

If true, that seems like a horrendous hole in the system.
