Carney's decision to let Poilievre run immediately for a seat in Alberta is good strategy and good politics

The PM doesn't have to call an MP election immediately, they can wait up to 6 months before calling an election. And I believe they also get to set how long the campaign period is to an extent which would delay things further. If Carney wanted to play politics, he could prevent the Conservatives from having their leader in the house of commons until sometime in 2026. It's a classy move that Carney stated he would call an election immediately if an MP gives up their position for Poilievre to run. It shows he's not about playing political games and is wanting to work together with other parties to unify Canada.
