If they replaced him as leader they would have sailed to a win. He attached himself to Trump style politics and it finished him off.

It's a bit alarming to see more Canadian Cons didn't reject him however, but after 3 liberal terms it gets harder and harder.

Serious question: would a progressive conservative like O'Toole have defeated Carney?

[-] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 day ago

Better chance of it, yeah. But I suspect Trump's antics against us meant that they guy who was one of the most respected financial minds in the world and led two countries through previous crises was always going to win.

They couldn't have scripted a better narrative than "Trump's a financial idiot and I'm one of the top financial minds on the planet."

Yep, it was really perfect for the liberals. I wonder if choosing Carney was a calculated choice to benefit from the turmoil in the US, or if it is just ridiculously good luck.
