I love the outright lies both sides tell. Talk about division - one side is no better than the other.
Both sides are cultish in their approaches.

It sounds like the current MP has a lot of ties and history in the local area compared to Carney just being born there. Makes sense to oust McLeod, and the Progressive Liberals likely won't object to this guy being replaced by a rich white banker.

But tell us how you really feel, Decks!I don't think the LPC handlers will allow that.
It sure didn't take LPC partisans to get their old arrogant swagger back again. That is what really pisses me off about these guys. They think that the LPC is Canada and all others do not have the right to have any say in the direction of the country.
If Carney wins the election I predict nothing will change in this country. No renewal of the Public Service, no real change in foreign and defence policy, a scattering of big project ideas that go into the perpetual study cesspool, and a continued control of government by a small cabal of UoT, McGill, and Harvard grads who are the great grand sons and daughters of Desmarais Group Executives!

You're right. Looks like he said he wasn't running again back in July 2024. That works out well for him. Carney just has to talk about his roots, make some promises, and he's locked and loaded.
Fairly safe liberal seat as well.
Rumour is that Marco Mendenccino is on deck to be his COS.

Took the words right out of my mouth!
A visible “so long and good luck” to the Telford crowd would probably be a help to Carney’s campaign.

The minister who lied to Canadians about the RCMP telling the government to use the Emergencies Act is the new "temp" chief of staff.
It's a perfect fit considering Carneys promise to use the Emergencies Act in the future.

Nothing says outsider like making an insider your Chief of Staff.
Yes. Same guy.

For somebody who is destined to be PM, it's a bit of oxymoron. Wherever he is from or currently resides, during his term he will never live there and have precious little time to represent the constituents there.
If we elect a CPC government, we may well get the same thing of a centralized PMP run by partisans and everybody else treated like trained seals. There is really little incentive to change it. The guy you shill for is the guy that keeps you in power.
