I believe Pierre, I am quite aware of Carney resume and find ut would be most valuable at the bottom if the bird cage. Results is what we need. I am also New Blue in Ontario. Done with Liberal Light Ford.
Sadly for Canada I agree with you, Brian that on the economy (and much else besides) Pierre is right and Carney (& co) are wrong but the people want to and will believe Carney. Canada has become an over-degreed (not the same as educated let alone intelligent) populace that puts too much stock into credentialism. You're absolutely right that in a battle of resumes alone (and not looking at actual job performance) Pierre can't win against Carney despite the fact that his work experience actually qualifies him for PM-ship far more than Carney's. Canadians are going to have experience Carney's job performance abilities (or lack thereof) for themselves.
The smart ones will believe Polievre, the rest will believe Carney and won't realize their mistake until they live his economy. I hope there is a Canada left to save when that happens.
Whenever CBC wanted an economist for their "At issue" panel they would tap Jim Stafford, chief economist for the CAW (later UNIFOR). Which is to say, you can have a degree in economics, and be an economist, without having a bloody clue about how the economy really works. I'm pretty sure Carney is that kind of economist.
A $67B deficit doesn’t exactly scream fiscal prudence. Add to that another $25B for his “sovereign wealth fund” and this country will remain stuck in the mud for a long, long time. Credentialed and connected doesn’t make the man a responsible manager of a national economy. I’ll take Poilievre any day with or without the fancy education.
Here are some comments you and your readers will absolutely disagree with. But hey, differing opinions are the heart of democracy.
1) Poilievre will never be believed over Carney on the economy and not just based on education. Its lived experience. Only one of them has been on the federal payroll his whole working life and it isn't Carney.
2) Carney is essentially governing like the old Progressive Conservatives, which is why Conservatives have been jumping ship. If u want to take issue with their actions, remember Winston Churchill who said " anybody can be a rat, but I was a rat twice". Perfectly legit in our parliamentary system.
3) re Doug Ford aka Doug Orban. Lets see, he wraps himself and his Cabinet in total secrecy, so the public cant see what's he is actually doing. He removes democratic rights by no longer electing Regional Chairs, thus ensuring those positions go to his buddies or his biggest contributors. He takes over school boards cause he can and reduces the powers of elected Trustees and announces that the Liberals could run Mickey Mouse and he'd still win and that no one cares about the Greenbelt issue.
Wow, just,Wow.
Such overweening hubris and arrogance. You think the polls will change with an actual leader for the Liberals? Sure will, they will go up and up. Doug Orban is heading to the kind of reckoning that happens to all politicians who think they are irreplaceable and invulnerable.
I beleive Pierre Poilievre

well..One year with Carney, and look where we are... if they can't see THAT.. and what his true agenda is, they never will..

If Mr. Ford’s polling numbers are falling, he has no one to blame but himself.
His branding is wishy-washy at best, and few believe a word he says; he is just seen to be better than the alternative.
Hopefully Pierre as I do!!
