🧵I remember people saying that as a mere ex-central banker, Mark Carney would be lost in the world of politics.
At his press conference today, he showed in fact how valuable that experience will be, answering all questions adroitly and professionally, giving some hints away but never too much. And…

All kidding aside, the biggest reason to keep Poilievre out of Parliament is to change the tone. We can't operate as a civil nation when one party leader exists only to attack the other. Civil debates and factual discussions, not personal attacks and three-word slogans, please.

If Canada lets a knowledgeable candidate like Carney slip through our fingers, in favour of an idiot like Poilievre, we will have proven that we're no better than our neighbours to the south

Reminder - Canadians - all social programs in Canada were created by either Liberals, New Democrats and/or both together. Not one social program in Canada was created by Conservatives.
PP stated in 2022 we do not believe in social programs / slush funds and has already stated he would cut them.

One thing you will never see Mark Carney do: stop his motorcade beside a highway to step inside a decrepit trailer and pay a supportive visit to the Diagolon ditchbillies within.

One of the virtues Prime Minister Mark Carney brings to the job is good, adult judgment.
In face of a maniacal US President who maintains they don’t need 🍁Canada, it’s a great call to head off to Paris and London first, instead of shambling in to Washington to kiss the Orange Duce’s ring.

When our President attacks and threatens another nation he is unfit to serve and should be impeached immediately.
