our last pm tried the same approach only with clothing. Didn't work for him.

over 20 as an idea, Carney has been open to the idea as well

The difference is authenticity. The fact that Carney lived and worked in Japan in his past made his effort to speak Japanese authentic and heartfelt.
Cosplay on the other hand...
A real study in contrast between the two.

Carney is a very likeable guy but lets not blow this a bit out of proportion. He rhymed off some words in Japanese for 8 seconds. Level of difficulty - making your thumb disappear in front of medieval villagers. I can say stop or I'll shoot (and some other pleasantries) in 3 different languages. Let's not canonize Carney for saying bless you after someone sneezes.

Carney can definitely read the room better. Would have been nice to have him as PM 20 years ago.

Lol, its the effort not the duration that counts.
ah! He could have done a lighter shade of black face as well to complete the appearance. Wasn't criticizing Carney by the way, just highlighting the differences in our past and present leadership. To be honest, I don't trust Carney but I can respect him as a leader and cheer him on with what he is trying to achieve. I am just a little skeptical as to when action will replace rhetoric.

… according to what PP said he heard/felt in a closed meeting
He’s too smart to lie, but I’m going to apply a grain of salt the same way as hearing PMMC summarizing someone else’s thoughts/words that we haven’t heard. Especially when he asked the Germans about perceived ability to build infrastructure. Optimists’ll say it’s a fair question, pessimists’ll say he’s looking for attack ammo. Looking forward to hearing more.

And who can blame them...
That's well said.
So far, I don't trust him either...but I'm not committed to disliking or distrusting him, he just hasn't given me a reason to really trust him yet.
I am absolutely supportive of him pursuing the plans he claims to have for the country tho.
If actions replace words & all of these free trade agreements pan out, and our economy starts to feel even somewhat like it did prior to Trudeau - I'll be more of a believer
But the results of some of his decisions in the UK have left that country basically broke, and so far I seem him executing the exact same strategy here. (Crazy high spending + deficits = someone else can be the austerity bad guy & fix it once he's gone)
