Canada is in danger of replacing one prince with another.

Justin Trudeau did not think the rules applied to him and it took more than nine years for Canada to come to terms with that glaring truth. Now Liberal Leader Mark Carney is going down the same road.

Carney is in need of a safe seat to run in and, as if by magic, one has just opened up in Ottawa Nepean.

Of course, it has meant ousting sitting Liberal Chandra Arya who has been the MP there for almost a decade. This is the same Arya who was disqualified from the Liberal leadership contest and subsequently cast a shadow on Carney.
