The un-elected PM who isn't even an MP is really nothing more than a strawman argument. The reality is -- the moment Parliament resumes, both the Cons and the NDP would be filing and passing a non-confidence motion to topple the gov. I haven't bothered looking up the expected dates, but I bet it would be 2 - 3 weeks tops.
IMO the bigger question is -- which riding is Carney gonna run in that will give him the best chance of getting elected? The last 2 by-elections were both supposed to be in Liberal strongholds, but the Libs still lost in both cases.

But he absolutely SHOULD NOT replace Trudeau as PM before the election even if he replaces him as party leader. Having an unelected, non-MP as the Prime Minister is a complete subversion of our democracy and should not be allowed to happen.
