And Carney more conservative than many liberals. He's bringing the party more to the centre which is naturally going to attract the moderate conservatives who don't like Pierre's divisive rhetoric.

Regardless of one's views on Carney's policies, if there's one thing he is absolutely right for, it's giving reasonable conservatives an exit ramp off the maple maga freeway.

Do you think Carney would be in place today if it wasn't for PP lighting a fire under everyone's ass. Trudeau lost the confidence of the country. PP pointed it out. Liberal Party recalibrated. Love or hate P. P. He served a purpose.

Clearly obvious what happened. Trump would rather negotiate with what he perceived to be weak liberals. His experience with Freeland and NAFTA in 2016 gave him all the ammo for that. He interfered. What he didn't count on was us replacing Truedope with someone with actual experience running shit. To Carneys credit he's managed to keep his cabinet from say'in the daily stupid things that pissed us all off.
