You, like most of us, are disgusted at Trump for the tariffs, and his threats against our sovereignty.
But you don't make a big stink every time he or his press secretary gives an unfriendly response to a reporter. I also don't recall you taking issue with how much money Trump has, his financial conflicts of interest, or the ways he uses the office to enrich himself.
But you're freaking out about Carney's refusal to answer a gotcha question, where the goal was clearly to create a soundbite for the conservatives to use in attack ads.
Trying to cook up a "look how rich Carney is" controversy, is honestly pathetic and desperate.

But hey, for someone who rails against the 'rich & powerful' all the time, you sure have no problem lapping up what Carney has to say. Pretty hypocritical there, don't you think? One would think Carney represents everything you hate and bitch about everyday. Ex-banker, Goldman & Brookfield elitist, no?
Oh right, its different when its 'your' side. My bad for forgetting how things work in your world.

The only reasonable approach to voting is to evaluate the parties/candidates who have a realistic chance to win, and vote for the best available choice among them. I look at Carney's policies and I look at PP's policies... it's clear to me that Carney's are better.
In case you've misunderstood me all these years, my issue is not with rich people. My issue is with
policies that favour rich people and accelerate wealth inequality.
So if someone is rich, good for them. No hard feelings. But if said rich person then uses his wealth to influence government to keep making things better for rich people and worse for everyday people... that's where I take issue.
So while Carney and these Liberals are centrist, they are a far better choice than PP's Conservatives.
