The problem facing the Conservatives is as obvious as it is intractable — unless real change is made. The form of neoconservativism ushered in by Stephen Harper has morphed into angry authoritarianism under Pierre Poilievre. It will not sell in Canada and the electoral record proves it.

Liberals need to be careful here. This was destined to be a conservative landslide if not for foreign interference. Unless Carney is more effectual than a typical new PM with a minority government, the next election will be an easy Conservative win with or without PP at the helm.

Carney doesn't play word games like the others do (see the English debate for reference). He is honest and loves Canada.

What will happen is he'll run circles around almost everyone else and they'll be pissed off he's beaten them ... cause he's smart. (Today's visit with Trump will be interesting to watch.)

You never play a game using someone else's rules. You either change the rules or change the game.

You didn't respond to the other person's point in any meaningful way, just saying.

Telegraphed?

He was forced to say that he don't believe there is a genocide in gaza. He avoided all allegations related to brookfield. There is no politicians that don't play word games
