Shall we dispense of the Trudeau thread once and for all?

Shall we dispense of the Trudeau thread once and for all?

And I'll start,

I know it's just the way it is, but darn I hate the fact our present PM has exactly zero per cent of eligible voters .....

Trudeau blamed Harper for stuff for several years following his governance. Why can't we continue to blame Trudeau for a while longer?

That happens when national leaders are installed by coronations and not elections

Because it's 2025?

Interesting to note that the new PM spent time as a senior bureaucrat, so he knows the processes and games that can be played. That may make him more able to unstick things...

Senior ADM at department of finance for three years. He’ll have some insight for ‘inside the machine’.

KLEIN: Canada is digging its own grave: Total economic ruin

We've chased away industry, stifled our economy with reckless policies, and let ideology take priority over common sense. Now what? Read on.

At what point does old economic and monetary policies become relevant again and important to a country?

I'm looking forward to hearing Carneys explanation about his alleged hand in helping Brookfield dodge paying taxes (and maybe some advice).

NDP calls for Carney to come clean about his role in Brookfield Asset Management’s tax dodging

I'm also curious to hear about what assets our new unelected PM designate has.

Let's be honest, it doesn't matter what he says, people will say he is not telling the truth, or not telling the whole truth

You're right. Some people are never happy.

We could just "move on", forget it happened, and let Carney get back to accusing Poilievre of being just like Trump.

You're just experiencing it differently.

I’m kind of disappointed Karina Gould wasn’t appointed Minister of National Defence so that the seriousness of our national defence situation could be drastically improved.

That solve is a treasury board issue nothing else. We have to justify cabinet approved expenditures. Absurd

I heavily suspect this is an interim cabinet so i wouldn't hold any weight to it. we have 47 members of the LPC caucus not seeking reelection, its going to be a whole new field after the election

Although coming across like a senior bureaucrat isn't helpful for a new politician, who has never been elected before, heading into a tough election ...

Canada Has a New Prime Minister With a Very Hard First Assignment​

Mark Carney, a central banker turned politician, steps into his role at a crucial moment as President Trump sets his sights on Canada’s sovereignty and keeps threatening more tariffs.

From his expansive qualifications in the finance world, there’s little doubt of Mr. Carney’s ability to get his message across in a boardroom or a monetary policy meeting. In his central banking roles he was often seen as being sermonic, and at times dismissive of the news media.

But he’ll need to find a common touch and a different level of engagement to be able to campaign effectively.

Mr. Carney’s challenge will be to quickly master “retail politics” — the art of energizing a room with a speech, making individual supporters feel important and heard and finding a way to engage with the news media that gets his point across clearly, said Fen Hampson, a professor of international affairs at Carleton University in Ottawa.

“Those glad-handing skills do not come automatically to someone who’s spent his life being a banker,” Mr. Hampson said. “His Achilles’ heel is that his communication skills and his retail politics skills are not finely honed yet.”

I see spending time in Shilo has completely removed your sarcasm detector and your sense of humour.

Good to see a smaller and more focused cabinet. McGuinty staying in Public Safety was wise, and Anand to Innovation is a good choice- that portfolio oversees ISED and the investment Canada Act activities, so she’s in a role significant for both the economy and national security.

I think that might have cost Pam Harris the election - put on the ticket by coronation after Biden pulled out. Rubbed alot of voters the wrong way in the US.

No I was a humourless prick long before that
