Canada

Carney keeps showing that he doesn't want to do things from a party first mindset. He's 100% Team Canada, and I'm here for it.

He will probably try to find a way to grant the NDP official party status, even though they came well short of earning it in the election. And he might yet make some changes that give parliamentarians — including the ones on the opposition benches — the ability to question witnesses, propose legislation, and otherwise better interrogate the issues of the day and the government’s handling of them.

I know we're in the honeymoon period of new leadership, but there's no evidence for any of this. Fawcett is just projecting what he'd like Carney to do and this article is mostly just gushing over our new PM rather than an attempt at ensuring that we're supplied with any factual information. I expected better from the Observer.

Carney is a breath of fresh air in Federal politics, didn't vote for them, but I approve of him as Prime Minister.

Harper made Canada a laughing stock internationally, Trudeau saved our image only to prove too vapid and gain us a rep for big talk and no action.

PP loves to talk about the "lost Liberal decade" but frankly I see 20 wasted under PM's that were little more than heavily polished caricatures of people; more interested covering up their mistakes than fixing real problems.

Carney seems like a real person, and one with relevant qualifications, who acts like an adult and wants to fix problems.

Or this is an "Obama" moment for Canada, a last impotent chance for change before the flood of misinformation fractures our institutions irrevocably 🤷

I hadn't listened to him be interviewed before until yesterday, and I was pleased to hear that he's quick on his feet and confident and sounds very knowledgeable. My ex said about him that nobody wants a policy wonk for PM, but so far it works.
