Mark Carney appeared on the political comedy The Daily Show with Jon Stewart , who made fun of his Conservative rival’s name, but laughed along at the notion Pierre Poilievre is some sort of Harry Potter villain.

It was the same kind of nasty smear that Justin Trudeau partook in when he was on Stephen Colbert , who said he was a “ Canadian Trump” It was easy to do with an American audience but it's cheap and disrespectful toward Canadians facing a serious problem.

Carney is expected to make formal his intention this week to go for the Liberal Leadership and position of prime minister.

Carney didn't formally announce his candidacy to replace Trudeau , but Stewart promoted the notion.

Carney and Stewart kept going with the comedy — including a whole parody section of Canada and the United States being, as Carney said, “friends with benefits”.
