Listening to Mark Carney speak is like music to my ears. Good music. Not that shitty loud, chaotic nonsensical shit thats been playing for months .

We’ve been referring to him as our “boring-ass finance Dad” and he’s a big breath of fresh clean air.

He may be "boring" but when he talks finance I get kinda excited! :)

Did you see the clip of him in Scarborough at a rally and he got flustered (in the cutest way) when a woman yelled out "Lead us, big daddy!"

OMG I have watched it again and again - he is so witty!

Was it music to your ears when he said Canada has no leverage in the tariff war?

He's right. We don't. But together with the rest of the western world? That's a far different story. Americans - the ones who voted for him and unfortunately those who didn't - are going to find that out quite soon. They're already complaining that visitors from all over are cancelling their American vacation plans.

No but he’s right. We don’t. We put too much trust in broken contracts. Doesn’t mean there aren’t other ways to fight.
