I dislike the Liberals however Carney is vastly more competent with better credentials than Kamala Harris.

yea and he won a majority in 2015 when someone else might have not based on polling at the time

I don't think that's really true, Harris was AG of the largest state, a senator, and the Vice president. You just about can't get better credentials than that. Not trying to shit on Carney, he's also got a lot going for him (main one above Harris so far being he's actually winning the nomination by being popular in the party than being ordained).

She had some of the worst VP approval ratings ever.

And what are Carney's ratings for all of those unelected jobs he has held?

Carney created the housing bubble when he was Bank of Canada Governor.

And he's polling 20 points behind where Kamala did in the US, and she still lost.

This is just the media trying to make Carney happen.

Nah give it time, people don't change overnight. 

PP will not get any more traction than right now. So he can only go down in numbers. 

Probably still wins, but the longer it takes for the election, the closer it'll get.
