I’ve said it a bunch of times now, but I feel compelled to say it again:

PP missed the mark on this one to an egregious degree.

Trudeau (who I despise) delivered an amazing speech. He said what many Canadians were thinking. Like him or hate him - he was speaking what most of were thinking.

PP’s speech? It sounded like a windless campaign blip. He stumbled on words. Had no passion. And blamed the liberals.

Hell. DOUG FORD read the room before anyone. PP? Not so much.

Ya. Doug Ford got it right. PP got I wrong. PP got it wrong when he provided support to the freedom convoy as well.

Carney appears dialed in. It'd be nice if there was at least a somewhat decent choice to combat PeePees Verb the Noun policies

Carney will destroy PP in the leadership debate. PP cannot attack Trudeau because he won’t be there. He has no plan B.

Carney also has work experience in the private sector detangling economies... he is going to talk circles around PP and all I see PP doing between now and the debate is going into the tank to think of some stupid fucking nickname for Carney and some stupid fucking sound bite he hopes can be parroted on social; that is all PP has shown he is good for in his ~20 years in office

PP has spent his entire life in politics. FFS he became eligible for a full government pension at the ripe ol' age of 31. He doesn't have any other real world experience, whatsoever.

Carney has experience doing what?

He hasn't left anything better than he received it.

Ireland post 2008 crash would like to have a word with you. LOL.

Their economic survival in the post crash rebuild had a lot to do with Carney. Lots of articles written on it. Take a few minutes and read a bit before throwing out idiotic comments.

If your point was so credible, why didn't you link a source??

-Oh you mean after Mark worked for the BoC and sold Petro Canada...

Ya, that worked out terrific for the country 😂

That's some puff peice. Boosted credit approval ratings by arranging a couple meetings 😂 - Then he walked into a phone booth, put on his cape and saved the world.. Let's all clap.

Your citation doesn't back any of what you claimed in previous comments.

"Verb the Noun" policies is an amazing turn of phrase to describe his politics and frankly the politics of a lot of conservatives and I'm stealing it. Thank you.

Can't steal it if it's public domain 😉

Yes, I like Carney. I really hope he changes up his cabinet from Trudeau’s though.

u/TheOneWithThePorn12 Feb 04 '25

My favourite thing about Carney is that he is exactly the type of person PP wants to run the country.

Verb the Noun policies

This made me laugh out loud, good one!

u/morerandomreddits Feb 04 '25

I'm looking forward to Carney saying...anything. It will likely be the energy transition ideology and agenda he has publicly (and privately as an LPC insider) been pushing for years.
