Mark Carney so far
Guest: Don Stickney
By Stuart McNish
On April 28, 2025, Mark Carney won enough seats to claim victory and form government. He’s three seats short of a majority government in a parliament that won’t defeat him. There is no coalition that will rise up and pass a motion of non-confidence. He immediately went to work as a Prime Minister with confidence that he could rule with authority – and he has done so.
Much to the surprise of many, he quickly cherry-picked the Conservative Party’s platform, incorporated it with his vision, and went to work. Don Stickney, the founder of Playbook, was in Ottawa recently and wrote, “I went in assuming the usual political conversations and measured optimism. Instead, I found myself connecting with Canadians from across the country who were genuinely energized about what is happening right now – premiers collaborating across party lines, federal leadership stepping up on a focused economic strategy, and nearly universal support for increased defense spending.”
Stickney says, “Six months ago, I would never have predicted any of these outcomes. The political landscape felt fragmented, the economic challenges overwhelming, and consensus on major issues seemed impossible.”
We invited Don Stickney to join us for a Conversation That Matters about the unexpected mindset and action changes he witnessed on Parliament Hill.
