My interpretation: Carney’s Liberal’s are maintaining the political-left while filling a political-center vacuum abandoned by Poilievre’s Conservatives.

Obviously poor form, and all but impossible, for him to be not invited.
And, although beyond our knowledge to know how intentional this was, but surely there was a desire to show that our two primary sides - Canadians as a whole - aren’t so polarized they can’t be civil to each other. #PhotoOp?

Living vicariously through my son, it’s great to see him having epic adventures.
