I understand the disappointment regarding Starmer and it is not hard to criticize his attempts to please every part of the electorate in particular. However to claim that Farage would not be worse is ridiculous.
Nigel Farage is a first class grifter. He spent over 20 years in the European Parliament, collecting a massive pay check and allowance, and his contributions were limited to insulting anything and anybody European. Then he promoted the most destructive self inflicted damage to the UK: Brexit. The man has no morals and has never achieved anything. He would be an utter disaster as Prime Minister. He would be a Donald Trump without dementia.
Speaking as a born and bred Albertan, Carney does not have to manage a relationship with Alberta. He has to manage a relationship with Danielle Smith. Like Trump she will keep moving the goalposts. She is looking to keep the conflict she and Kenney ginned up going to distract Albertans from the incompetence and corruption of her governance in the Province. As the Saudis drive the price of oil down watch her desperation rise. Carney should keep smiling and keep wearing his Oilers jersey a lot, even if some pundits think it is bad form for heads of government to support their teams this way. 😉

He also looks kind of "Dickensian".....
Still cracking up over "yellow teeth and bland food on the Thames...."

British Politics is sad. Let us not go there.
