While you have probably heard of Mark Carney's appearance on The Daily Show, his performance with Jon Stewart both surprised and impressed me. He was loose, funny and, most unexpectedly, engaging. Now I certainly realize that celebrity without cerebration is popular amongst those allergic to critical thinking, it appears that with Carney, you might get both.
Would he be a more effective Liberal leader than Chrystia Freeland? I have no idea, and the fact that he has no direct political experience and has never held elected office weighs heavily on me. I'll just have to see how things develop, but offering such a contrast to the dour, humourless PP definitely works in his favour.
The following video is about 19 minutes long, and few likely have the time to watch it. But dip into it for a few minutes and see what you think.
You can watch the entire interview here.
I think Mark Carney surprised most people with his ease and whit during the interview.
ReplyDeleteCoupled with Christina Freeland they have the raw talent required to rebuild the Liberal Party.
Couple this with the much published Jean Chretien letter and I think people are starting to ask ; where is Poilievre and more importantly what will PP's response be to Trump?
We know Carney can control a budget and Freeland can handle negotiations with the USA; what can PP and his people offer; so far nothing!

Indeed, TB, the pressure is now on PP to produce something other than his tired broadsides against the Liberals and Canada itself. Is he up to the task? Past and present performance suggest he is not.
