    He seems like a supremely accomplished leader. I personally liked Trudeau, and a lot of the shit he got was blatant propaganda play, but Carney seems like he’s legit made to be a statesman and a leader. Canada has every reason to be proud right now.

      I liked Trudeau initially, but every time he announced some first time home buyer idea it was just not economically useful.

      i think he’s a decent if kinda spoiled/out of touch guy. I mostly think he was around too long and needed to lean on his experts more, plus communicate better.

      We are lucky to have someone at the helm who has a better understanding of trade and economics better than anyone.
