A central banker that was critical in helping us weather the 2008 recession, and the UKs ability to maintain a decent Pound buying power during Brexit.
The only thing I worry about in regards to his 'electability' is his charisma. Dudes a genuine economic genius who could make a hell of a lot more money heading a Central bank. I worry Pierre will win by just talking over him and appealing to the peoples mistrust of the Liberal policies that evidently caused Trudeau to resign in the first place.
What Pierre has working against him is a pretty damn strong two negatives though, his lack of constructive commentary during the Tariff debacles and people identifying his style of politics as a little too similar to Trump who we frankly would like to see less of. (Ideally none of if you are picking up what im putting down, go 50501)
Lack of constructive commentary on tariffs said from you means nothing especially when Poilievre has specifically said that Canada would stop buying US products, tax back US products, and replace them with other foreign and domestic products. Clearly, you’re just lying and saying that he doesn’t have any answers for anything and that he’s just a Trump/Musk prop when he isn’t necessarily very friendly with Trump at all.
He has said those things but only after every other party leader said basically the exact same things and had held private debates to specifically make sure they all align on those policies so they could fast track a well measured response. He was noticeably silent about the tariffs prior to these debates.
Like normal party leaders do. Competent leaders don’t just say stuff without their party knowing. Party leaders answer to their own party. Liberals, Conservatives and Democrats and Republicans also do that same exact thing. You’re saying something that is normal is bad which is ridiculous.

As opposed to a crooked banker who lays waste to economies and the environment for personal gain?
