Liking Gould less with every naive proposal and cheap shot at Carney

Carney is a boring speaker. He needs to show some passion.

After watching the whole debate, Carney sounded about as exciting as Ben Stein reading scripture. It would have been nice to see him a little more animated but this really wasn't the place for that. Freeland has that grade school teacher vibe most of the time and had a lot of opportunities to distance herself from Trudeau and seems to have actively chosen not to.

I agree with that 100%, but at least he's not stumbling over every single sentence like Frank is 😬

I think the conservatives are going to struggle a bit in the next few months. They clearly haven’t moved away from the verb the noun sloganeering, the nicknames, extremely negative ads and trump like rhetoric since carney has shown up on the scene. There messaging is starting to piss me off. I wish the CPC would start acting like the opposition in waiting sometimes.

Carney is serious. He’s from the Major League. He isn’t the approachable person who coaches 10 year olds.

Is the lasagna store bought, or homemade? 🤔

Homemade, but by no means particularly intricate

Warren Kinsella posted on X that PP will “beat the living shit out of Carney” in the debates. Over an hour into this, I find it hard to disagree.

Yes he’s smart and accomplished. People want a fighter. Where is that side of him? Does it exist?

Eh, Kinsella went round the bend years ago. Been a long time since he’s fought for anything, rather than taking positions for the purpose of attacking people he feels wronged by. Occasionally he makes a good point, but it’s usually an example of a stopped clock occasionally matching reality

Carney and others are smart to avoid fighting here. Would just give cons sound bite ammo.

Don’t mistake calm intelligence for weakness

Just catching up now. 🍿

Council of the Federation: All 13 premiers.

First Ministers Meeting: the PM and all 13 premiers.

So Carney was slightly taking a shot to say that the PM meeting with the Premiers would be by definition a First Ministers Meeting rather than CoF.
