Typical of someone not used to speaking a lot or public speaking. It's a trait common with new politicians.

They’re gonna need better than that.

Well if the polls are any indication, he’ll have 4 years to practice.

Many years ago I was involved in helping a young M.P. run for his party’s leadership. He definitely wasn’t a natural born speaker and it was my company’s job to help make him sound as palatable to the public as possible. We went over some of the 3/4” videotapes (yes, that was way back) and pointed out to him and his campaign team his most obvious weak points in his speeches and his overall mannerisms. The man, I must say, worked very very hard in the next few weeks and by the time the nominating convention was held, he actually got the most votes. He never developed the elocution skills of, say, Brian Mulroney, but he did refine his abilities enough to go on and become Prime Minister. That man was Joe Clark. Mark Carney, despite his inwardness, has more potential as a speaker than Clark. Whether he develops it or not we’ll just have to wait and see.

He’s used to speaking to a different sort of audience, but his speech on the night of the leadership announcement proves he can deliver a good speech. He needs to get better as responding to questions and criticism in the fly.

Like trudeau, he sounds competent when his speeches are scripted for him. Not so much if he has to speak off the cuff. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has his own square paper water bottle thingies moment. Same as questions to him. He said he won't talk to reporters or people asking questions on the street, only at predetermined press briefings. And then he can be brusk and demeaning if asked something he's not prepared for, doesn’t like or cuts to close to stuff he doesn’t want Canadians to know. He is not transparent and agreeable when he restricts which news outlets are allowed into his briefings, like Rebel or True North. Whether you like them or not, they are bonafide and registered journalistic outlets and deserve to be there for their supporters. And right now, he's playing nice to get elected. I can’t imagine if he wins and has free reign and is unaccountable.

Good thing he picked an entry-level position instead of something like head of government.
