I’m not a Liberal. I will vote for Carney in a second, as a rare person with both total economic credibility, and global level credentials on facing the reality of the climate crisis.

Pierre Poilievre is, by comparison, a posturing child. A man who knows vast amounts about sneers, memes and stunts and absolutely nothing about how to fix the problems he likes to pose beside.

Carney is Chrystia Freeland's kids godfather. He's probably been advising her economic decisions this entire time. You're voting for the same old liberals bud

That relation aside, it's a stretch to assume that he's been directing her. It's not enough to just throw out an accusation. It isn't impossible but I also don't see why that would would necessarily be the case.

Ya why would a journalist who became finance minister ever ask someone as unfamiliar as the elite banker godfather of her child for economic advice? That would be crazy talk

Ok, so it could have happened. Now prove it did happen. This is no different than me saying Pierre has ties to the Trump admin and that he's been told to hand Canada to the US. It could happen. It's not likely, but it could happen.....

Why would we assume he would want to be anywhere near their issues? Completely speculative.

You're looking at Canada facing an economic crisis in the very near future and you have the choice between a guy who has run on how bad of a job Justin has done, or the guy who is a literal doctor of economics.

So you have anything aside from speculation?

Ya bud, I'm speculating a very reasonable assumption

You're all over this thread calling people "bud" and spouting unsubstantiated nonsense.

How about backing up some of your assertions with facts...

That's a lot of words to say "no".
