I voted: CarneyMark Carney is the most qualified candidate to be Prime Minister let alone Liberal Party leader. No one matches his skill or experience on the world stage. We need a real economist who can sell Canada to the world right now. Mr. Carney is that person in my opinion.
Most definitely the polls have swung back now that Trudeau has stepped down and Carney has entered the race. I agree, he’s a natural and the right person for the job at this time. I thought Canadians would come around if he entered the race, I’m happy to see its happening.
None of those things happened when he worked for Harper, so why would they happen now? He is super qualified. I’m confident he will do well. Vanier is a likely riding as you note. FYI—If you log-in first Peter, your comments will be logged under your profile and immediately approved. You still have access I believe.
Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, I think the Ontario Greens will get squeezed this election. The Liberals and the NDP, with new leaders, are bound to do better. Plus, people like me who have left the party because they are now violating their values/principles with ill thought out policy, in particular their affordable housing policy that threatens urban forests and family neighborhoods acorss the province, is a complete violation of the party's value of Ecological Wisdom. Suffice to say: Its not ecologically wise to cut down the urban forest to build affordable housing. Nor is it wise to destroy family neighborhoods. This is especially true when we have contaminated properties throughout all of our cities which can be cleaned and redeveloped. Build new communities for these people on cleaned earth. Don't cut down any trees, and don't upend our neighbourhoods to be meet an artificial crisis created by poor federal immigration policy.
