Too bad for Chrystia Freeland. I think she would have been a great PM. I watched her speak a few times, and she is well-spoken, smart, and has that little edge like she'd really destroy you if you forced her to.
I would have voted for either, though, and I'm happy for Mark Carney. He'll do a great job.
It's just not the time for her. I respect her deeply and thought she was great in the debate, and she did a great job last time Trump was in power.
I just think she couldn't win the next fight (the general election), and frankly I think a PM who Trump completely loathes would become his punching bag instead of his foil. Freeland could take a punch for sure -- don't mean to imply she's weak, but I think it wouldn't help.
I worry about Carney not being an outspoken and charismatic leader against Trump. Between Pollievre and Trump I think he's going to get dumped on, but I trust that he won't care because he'll be heads down enough on the technical sides of leadership it doesn't matter. We're already united, he can be a general and tactician.
I’m actually not worried about Carney being thoughtful and considered while Trump is a loud mouth moronic idiot with no coherent plan. Let Trunp be who he’s gonna be and we’ll do our thing, separate from the US clownshow. I mean we’ll have to deal with them a bit but it’s like a toxic ex who you have to deal with because you have kids together but other then that, you lead a completely separate life.
