Oh wait, he's different than Trudeau. Although he has been advising him for the past 5 years, and where has that taken Canada.

So he's maligned if he does nothing, and maligned for taking a number of correct/appropriate actions because we "shouldn't take the bait".
It's like he's set up to fail no matter what he did. Sounds like a fair and evenly weighted evaluation.
It's one thing to rail on incompetence, but now you guys are attacking competence out of what seems like desperation. That's all Carney has shown since stepping in.
Also crying about the unfairness of him getting to work from the PMs chair is a bad look. Makes PPs minions look like miniature versions of him. I thought playing the victim card was the lefts calling card.
I have a hard time seeing PP do better in the public eye in these two weeks than Carney has if he was in his position. Maybe I'm wrong, but watching him since the trade war started, I don't think so.
