I think they are suggesting he's on Epstein's list.

OK, I just Googled it and the results that come up are Toronto Sun, True North, National Post(thanks for employing Tristin Hopper, you muppets!), Western Standard, The Countersignal, Xitter, and that's kind of enough to know this isn't a real story. Rebel Media, you are slipping. I expect more from you.

Apparently he was photographed during the day at an outdoor festival talking to some other unidentified guy while Maxwell stood nearby, in 2013.

Funny how the wacko right only cares about these kinds of random things, and not, you know, guys like Donald Trump and Elon's Karate class who actually enabled Epstein by using his "services".

There is hundreds of nitwits in all parties but only a few people with his level of experience and knowledge. I don't know how well he may do for the small MP related items of serving the local riding, that is TBD.

I am sure this numbers guru will run the numbers
Carney is terrible.

He's one of the architects of the carbon tax regime. He's using Gerald Butts (!) as his chief political advisor.

Also central bankers shouldn't be running for office.

As opposed to politicians who have never held an actual real job?



The fact you think he is terrible makes me much more interested.

That interview is a good start.
I think he'd be better to wait 4 years to get away from the current Liberals taint, but maybe he's on to something now.
Will be interesting.

Freeland would be a non starter IMO.

Carney PM with Freeland Foreign Affairs might be a good combo. Need a good finance minister, but I'm sure Carney knows people who would fit well.

Very concerned. His policies are like Trudeau's but probably worse. He's smarter than Trudeau (obv not hard) and comes in a more credible package with policies that are as bad if not worse than Trudeau's.

Carney is absolutely terrifying for right wingers because he can actually win.

I’m sure they’ll eventually come up with an angle that makes sense, but the flaccid punch of “uh… uh… he kind of helped design the carbon tax!!!” isn’t going to cut it.

I think having a PM named Carney would be awesome.

"So...who runs this place?"

Oh! Carney! Oh you want a free trade agreement? You have to get the rings over 3 bottles and use the BB gun to knock over 5 ducks.

What are some of these policies that are as bad if not worse? Or what is one of them? Just one.

Is the "he had a photo taken in proximity of someone deplorable" really a game the conservatives want to be playing?

Funny, I didn’t expect that to change your mind about him anyways.

Snowflakes get scared of even a slight mention of Carney proposing to run for the leadership.

Hahahahahaha

God damn snowflakes.

I’m old enough to remember when PP did an interview with Jordan Peterson and the line was that people should simply ignore who Peterson is entirely and just listen to the words in the interview.

Now being in proximity of someone is enough to make all sorts of attachments.

They never can seem to figure this thing out.
