No matter what you think of Carney, at least we have an adult as PM. Too bad other countries still see the damage the man child did and just put up with what Canada thinks.

That alone is a big improvement.

That alone is a big improvement.

Our acceptable standards are terribly low.

Based on what? There's no signs point to that right now, and anyone think Pierre wouldn't take a huge win in BRC is on Crack. Though gotta credit and independent for getting 9.5%

His handling of the Air Canada strike isn't a good look so far. He's had a few missteps that may bite him in the long run.

"Pierre wins in landslide victory with over 80% of the vote beating over 200 other candidates, a new record."

I agree. Carney not doing anything or little is still a huge improvement over Trudeau driving Canada right into the ditch

I have a feeling he is gonna put this on Minister Hadju

Not making it worse is setting the bar way to low.

We shouldnt accept anything less than improvement.

I agree. It was me making peace with a very short term PM MC (who I had a lot more faith in just after the election)

Being an adult is faint praise. There's plenty of adults who are nothing but narcissistic, self serving assholes. There's also a number of countries that are far from enamoured with Carney. Personally, I see little difference between carney and his puppet trudeau.

Yup, wait until people find out how many billions he's spending and the alliances he's making on behalf of Brookfield Canada.

So this is on Bonnie Critchley (and noting how MSM gives her lots of air time)

My thoughts on Bonnie
-She was a legit independent candidate (She had nothing to do with longest ballot BS)
-She campaigned and she did so aggressively (Good on her for fighting for it)
-Unfortunately for her, she did not win but did impressive for an independent (again good on her)

However this attack post by election is a little bit like sour grapes it seems to me. If she is wanting to go head to head with Pierre in next election I suggest
-Have a better and improved campaign position (not just stop Pierre because lets face it, BRC choose him)
-Don't go on the offensive right away, it looks very bitter and petty. Give Pierre time to get back in the house and then criticize legit points you don't agree with
-If your serious about running again, pull apart his and Carney's policies and explain how you can fight for better on each point, and as a independent, you have no party loyalty to balance with the needs of the riding
-Next time don't say "I don't even want to be here..." I suspect that line costed her some votes.
