Good, but I won't sleep easily until the crypto-MAGAist Pierre Poilievre is on the ash heap of history.

I too will love to see the knives out for PP once he loses the general election. He’s been such a sniveling Trunp toady no other party would support his party in a minority situation . All Carney has to do is prevent a conservative majority, my guess is that Carney has the potential to do even better than that.
Hes into crypto?
Poilievre personally holds investment in Bitcoin as he promotes crypto to Canadians
So he either believes in it or believes in rug pulling his constituents.
I'm gonna assume it's the 2nd option

Entirely expected, but still a relief. He is the most likely Liberal candidate to potentially take a win from the Cons or at least take away a majority from them.
Explains why Conservative attack ads have been so focused on Carney lately. They're scared!
Extremely.
A lot of polls put the Cons ahead of the Liberals by a few points, but trailing if Carney was leader.
This was not a surprise
Carney's win was not a surprise, but I think the margin that he won by was a surprise for many.

Too bad for Chrystia Freeland. I think she would have been a great PM. I watched her speak a few times, and she is well-spoken, smart, and has that little edge like she'd really destroy you if you forced her to.
I would have voted for either, though, and I'm happy for Mark Carney. He'll do a great job.
I think she's kinda like Harris in the US. She probably would have done a good job, but is too similar to (and tainted by) the person before. It's not worth the risk right now to choose her and lose to the cons.
It's just not the time for her. I respect her deeply and thought she was great in the debate, and she did a great job last time Trump was in power.
I just think she couldn't win the next fight (the general election), and frankly I think a PM who Trump completely loathes would become his punching bag instead of his foil. Freeland could take a punch for sure -- don't mean to imply she's weak, but I think it wouldn't help.
I worry about Carney not being an outspoken and charismatic leader against Trump. Between Pollievre and Trump I think he's going to get dumped on, but I trust that he won't care because he'll be heads down enough on the technical sides of leadership it doesn't matter. We're already united, he can be a general and tactician.

She's too closely associated with Trudeau. I think Trudeau's popularity turned around partially because he was leaving - his replacement wouldn't be able to use that.
I’m actually not worried about Carney being thoughtful and considered while Trump is a loud mouth moronic idiot with no coherent plan. Let Trunp be who he’s gonna be and we’ll do our thing, separate from the US clownshow. I mean we’ll have to deal with them a bit but it’s like a toxic ex who you have to deal with because you have kids together but other then that, you lead a completely separate life.
Politics is harsh. You have to have the personality to communicate effectively to the people. Chrystia just doesn't have that politician's personality. She isn't engaging at all.
Not nearly as bad as PP. Every time I hear the guy speak, it's like he'd rather be doing something else.
She will be invaluable to the country going forward.
She negotiated the USMCA with Trump in his 1st term.
The liberals chose well!
So we'll likely be heading into an election in June.
