MOUs are never legally binding usually, its a notice of intent essentially

MOUs aren't required. It's more fluff than anything. Good for news article.

Canadians want floor-crossing MPs to face ‘immediate’ byelections: poll
Great way to test "My constituency wants me to do this".
Did you really think that a signed trade deal just happens with a visit?

I think there's been a whole bunch of broken promises over the last 10 and 20 years.
Being proud of Carney for "doing something" that amounts to a pinky promise is silly. Celebrate when there's a deal.
Building a house is good. Building a fake construction site to do a video about your promsie to build houses is theatrics. Aren't you tired of the theatrics?

No, I’m not.
Because if you think PP could have achieved more in the same timeframe, I’ve got a condo in downtown Toronto to sell you.

Gotta start somewhere. I'm happy trade and development is being announced as opposed to sunny ways, regardless of whether it comes from Mr. Carney, Mr. Poilievre, or Ronald MacDonald.
Things like this lead me to believe its more than just theatrics.

Some Deputy shuffling, including some moves in Defence:
Carney shakes up senior ranks of the public service
Kevin Brosseau, who was named Canada's fentanyl czar in February 2025, is keeping that role but is also being made the senior associate deputy minister of national defence and commissioner of the Canadian Coast Guard.
In a statement the Prime Minister's Office said the "leadership changes support the strong, effective delivery of priorities and results for Canadians, while positioning the federal government to advance Canada's interests and respond to the rapidly shifting dynamics of the global landscape."

That's making the CCG Commissioner the #2 public servant in Defence, leapfrogging them ahead of the rest of the bureaucracy.
The role of National Security and Intelligence Advisor got downgraded a bit.
A DM was appointed to get the new Financial Crimes Agency off that ground; that’s to be a law enforcement agency that will take a sizable chunk of large scale financial crime from the Mounties and will work it with a dedicated agency. If they pull it off that’ll be a good thing.

You quite literally pulled a what about Trudeau and then criticized him with that. LOL.
Never change Jarn. Never change.
I’m actually glad we finally have leader who is trying to get things done and not playing stupid games.
We just need an official opposition to do the same and we might actually have a serious parliament for once

I assume you're referring to the post where I said "10 and 20 years ago".

I largely agree.
I admit there haven't been any scandals to speak of in the first. Congratulations on stepping over that low bar are in order.
We could do with a Parliamentary Budget Officer for oversight too.
The office still exists at least, but I can't see any way to view this other than trying to keep PBO criticism to a minimum. Unless there's an actual rule in place barring Jason Jacques from continuing in an interim capacity he should have been kept on if they didn't have a replacement. This is far and away my biggest criticism of Carney.

I met him, briefly, when he came by our office last May. Didn't give me the "politician vibe" as badly as the PS Minister at the time, McGuinty, who was part of the same visit. But now, they're both together again at DND.

PBO is a GiC appointment. Even an interim appointment needs to go through that process.
And GiC appointments take time, and are often not a priority, and require the staff of the responsible department to push constantly.
