I agree with those who suggest Carney would be better off running in four years, the chances of the Liberals flipping the current numbers are basically zero. Everyone thought Kamala would gain momentum in taking over from Biden a few months before the election, and look what happened there.

Carney might be able to gain a few seats, but I don't see how we don't have a Conservative majority in a few months. PP would have to severely stub his toe for that to happen. Even winning debates likely won't make a major difference. It would need to be a gamebreaking mistake by the PC.

How many people are going to change their vote after the mess Trudeau has left?

I for one will vote for a Carney liberal party over my previous vote of Larry Heather.

I think the goal here for Carney is not to win the next election but instead to leave the party in position to win the following election. If they can get to 50-60 seats and official opposition status that likely is successful enough to keep Carney on.

If they can get to conservative Minority, a much tougher battle I would expect to see a relative early election.

So I think you see something similar to Kamala. Stop the bleeding, improve slightly but not enough to win.

So, maybe not much can be made of a photo of Carney a distance away from Maxwell? Unless you think Carney is at the same level of gross as sex offender Trump?

Thanks for proving my point!
Trump is not a sex offender, misinformation

Why oh why can't we get a central party.

Currently I don't see any voting options for me if there was an election tomorrow

The conservatives in Canada are pretty left of center actually. Canadians have just lost the plot in terms of where the center might be.

They support national healthcare, and a large number of public social programs. Those are not ring wing policies in any country or context.

People call them right wing, but they have very few, if any, actual policies which you could describe as right wing.

gay marriage abortion ect ect, nowhere near right wing, whoever thinks that is just moving the goal posts because they themselves have drifted to far left

Misinformation that was proven by a jury of his peers hand selected by his own defense attorneys?

You're a lunatic dude.

That wasn't said at all in the video, and also just isn't true.
You're also insane, and you throwing around a person's name as a substitute for the curse word for feces makes you look like an infantile moron at best. At worst you're someone preying on someone with known mental health concerns for... laughs? Making you a total psycopath. You can choose.

Wrong dude. Here are the facts

The term “sex offender” is a legal designation that applies only to those who have been convicted of qualifying sex crimes. Since Donald Trump has never been criminally convicted of such an offense, he is not considered a sex offender under the law.

Why don't you go ahead and look up why we consider conservatives "right" and tell me if that knowledge makes you rethink what you're trying to posit here.

Just so we're clear, you're caught up on a pedantic legal definition of the term "sex offender" and not concerned that Trump has been proven to actually be a sexual predator?

Just sticking to the facts. Civil trial does not determine “guilt” or “innocence”

But if you have information that the authorities don't have, i would encourage you to come forward.

Haha. Sure, and OJ was innocent.

He’s a sex offender with a lot closer connection to Epstein and Maxwell than anyone outside of Prince Andrew.

[Torture]

Central bankers should not be running for office, and convention has generally been that they don't. It is instantly obvious that this creates a conflict of interest for the banker. There are some institutions which should not see cross-over. We wouldn't want a supreme court justice to run for the PM job for the same reason.

OK I'll bite. It is not instantly obvious to me why Carney's time as a central banker in 2008-2013 (over a decade ago, under Harper) and afterwards, for the Bank of England is a conflict of interest to run for Prime Minister. Explain.
