See this is exactly what I was talking about.
Who decided that the vibe was that Trudeau was "arrogant and out of touch"? Who decided that a totally different politician -- surely one who is equally arrogant and out of touch, on a personal level -- was "financially literate" and "certainly qualified for the job"?
.......the voters did when polled or asked. There's other reasons but that is a big one.
For question two, the rest of the Liberal party decided that.
Like, are you at all informed about Canadian politics at the moment or are you just shooting from the hip?
Edit: Carney is not a politician, btw. I mean, sure, now he is. But that's not his background. He is an outsider politically speaking.
Haha, yes, an outsider central banker! The solution to the little guy's problems! No politics experience at all, the perfect man to defeat fascism!
Thanks for your well rounded contribution. Yes, in the context it was written, he is a political outsider. No need to be so sensitive about it.
I'm of the opinion he will be more of the same while being quieter about things than Trudeau was, but people sort of want some financial literacy within government and Trudeau's Liberals were not that. Carney certainly wouldn't be my first choice but looking at the other options it's not rocket science to see why he was chosen.
He's not an "outsider" he is the system.
He's a political outsider. I'd love to hear about all of the political experience he has that don't make him an outsider POLITICALLY. I'll wait.
Mark Carney is 100% pro status quo, pro establishment, pro big business. We can agree on that without being so dramatic.
And if we can't avoid being dramatic, then I'll pose a dramatic question based on your response in a manner similar to your responses. If Mark Carney IS the system, then our problems go away if he's not elected, right? After all, you said he IS the system, not a part of it.
🤡
Great example, exactly as expected. Life must be good up on that high horse. It's always the most sensitive snowflakes.
Have a great day anyway, dummy.
Okay liberal 🤣
