Mark Carney - next PM

[Ceiling Cat]

He is an elitist banker at a time when people no longer want elitists in power.

Carney brings deep expertise in global financial affairs and a keen awareness of world politics. If elected, we would have a Prime Minister who truly understands the economic challenges we now face, challenges shaped by the lasting impact of the pandemic and further intensified by an American president who has recklessly imposed reciprocal tariffs on all nations through executive order.

This decision will bring world trade to a grinding halt. Nations across the globe, including the United States, will be forced to seek new trading partners and rebuild supply chains. Economic turmoil will follow, and the consequences will be severe. In such a crisis, should we not have a leader with a firm grasp of global economics?

Two centuries ago, the British Empire appointed officers from the aristocracy, men who often lacked military experience and were unfit to lead in battle. Would it not have been wiser to place experienced soldiers in command, those who understood strategy, tactics, and the full capabilities of their forces?

The same logic applies to leadership today. A Prime Minister with direct economic expertise, someone who understands the consequences of each policy decision, can work effectively with the finance department and ensure sound economic choices are made. Carney is not a leader who would blindly rely on advisors. He possesses the knowledge to assess situations independently and make informed decisions.

By contrast, Trump embodies the unqualified officer of the past, reckless, uninformed, and indifferent to the consequences of his actions. His policies will not only cripple the American economy but send shockwaves through global markets. In times of crisis, leadership matters. Do we not deserve a Prime Minister who understands the stakes and has the expertise to navigate them?

Trump isn't running to be PM. It's Pierre Poilievre. And he has Govt experience. Including ministry.

Carney has a shit ton of baggage. As will come out in the campaign. The bots are scouring the net of every Davos, Other Forum and Private speech he has given for his elitist commentary. And there will be a lot of it.

I'm sure your preference, with your portfolio, is a banker. But the mood of the nation is quite different then your own. And you need to accept that and put it into your calculus when attempting to look objectively.

And adjust your portfolio accordingly.

Btw, British officers, leading right up through WW2, which included the aristocracy, were considered the finest on the planet. Due to extensive training at school/military colleges, and a long tradition of passing on institutional knowledge. It's how they became the British EMPIRE.

But yes, they did it to maintain control over the military. And some were incompetent. They were either shuffled to garrison duties, or sent on suicide campaigns(and it they lived were no longer incompetent)

Everyone has baggage, he's still by far the best bet to make sure PeePee doesn't win.
Singh has shot himself in the foot, meanwhile.

No, Trump is not running to be Prime Minister of Canada. He is the expansionist President of the United States, seeking to weaken Canada and push it toward becoming the 51st state. Pierre Poilievre may have extensive political experience, but he is a career politician without a strong background in financial matters. Canada needs a Prime Minister who commands the confidence of its people. At this critical time, no one has stronger credentials for the role than Mark Carney, having served as Governor of both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England. Given the dire financial state of the world, he is the right leader for these times of economic uncertainty.

Carney is the worst choice, in a field of bad choices. Ruby Dahlla is a right sided liberal, and would be the best choice. That being said, it's time for a change, regardless of who gets the vote to lead the libs. Jag has already said he'll back whomever, because of the tariff threat. A new excuse to maintain that hold on pseudo power, and I would assume the bloq will as well.

Carney and his blathering about the carbon tax is infuriating. The figures show that even if we meet our climate targets, it's still nothing, when we have less than 2% carbon emissions. Why the mainstream media doesn't call them out on this is incredulous, with the taxes they collect in the name of their "crisis," while we have already done many things to be better and the whole time countries like China do fuck all, adding more to their so called "man made climate crisis" than we'll ever reduce it here.

Just so I am clear on where I stand, fuck Carney, fuck the liberals and fuck the ndp and bloq twice over!

"The confidence of the people" is decided at the ballot box. So by your measure who ever wins the most votes should have it.

Remember that.

I have not voted in the last 10-15 years, because I did not believe it mattered. I will vote this time because I do believe it will make a difference.
