Mark Carney calls Liberal MPs as he considers leadership bid

It's official - he is now the stupidest person on the planet :)   LOLOL

The guy with no real ties to the party which eats its own for breakfast (ask mike ignatieff) and no experience running a political campaign is going to jump into the race to lead a party that's polling 4th place in seats and is hated by most people into the next election which will happen in the immediate future giving him no time to prepare. 

How frikkin' stupid do you have to be to think that jumping head on into THAT dumpster fire is a good idea?

And we have a possible runner up....  :P 

Freeland reaches out to Liberal MPs as speculation swirls

Several MPs, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the Star that Freeland has reached out and spoken to them in recent days.
While the MPs said Freeland did not bring up the Liberal leadership, one of them felt the calls were connected to a potential leadership run, while another said they were “impressed” by the outreach. 

Now here's a fun fact many don't know. Mark Carney is Christina freeland's child's godfather. He has always been close with their family.

This article says that she didn't specifically mention a leadership run the people felt she was feeling them out. I have to wonder if she's looking at the possibility of supporting mark carney as a possible leader candidate.

If that's true, and she's thinking of propping him up if Justin steps down, then she is cruel beyond belief because she will help him get eaten alive.

Translation for Freeland support is death knell.

Freeland is detested almost as much as Trudeau.

Carney is a technocrat and talks and acts like one. He has all the human warmth of a dead carp. He reminds me of John Turner, but without the charm. 

For those who don't go back that long Turner didn't have much charm.

This is all fine except we are on the verge of giving a historically large majority to someone with little charm and popular appeal. Of course, that's a good thing.

I get where you were going with that but the polling says different. In fact the polling suggests that people find that Poilievre has a fair bit of charm and appeal. 

Not as much as trudeau did, but far more than harper.  And he's 1000 times more competent than trudeau which has an appeal of it's own. (Mind you a dead slug is more competent than trudeau). And i assume that's what you meant, it's "Good" that we're giving the reigns to someone with some skill rather than just interesting socks. 

I have often said that if you don't have a charismatic man, you better have a charismatic plan because people will vote for one or the other. (still working on a more gender neutral version). The fact is Poilievre is a good mix of both. And people meet him and listen to him they do find him engaging.  And he comes across as being very knowledgeable about the issues and aware of what needs to change to resolve it.  So he's got that whole 'double whammy' thing going on where he seems like a real person to many and also seems like he's got a plan. 

So for people like you (and me) who don't care much about personality and care more about competence he's got a certain appeal and for people who like the charm and personality he's got a certain appeal as well. And can call in his wife if necessary and she can charm the socks off an enraged and rabid badger.

Sure sure.  (looks around, ,owns house, 2 nice vehicles, is set for life, political party is set to win greatest majority in canadian history, just watched trump cream the democrats etc etc)   Yeah, if i "lose" any harder i'll be in the 1 percent :) 

For the 21's century the conservatives are set to dominate.  They've had about equal time so far in Canada with harper getting about 9 years and trudeau at just over 9. Now it looks like the cpc is going to crush the libs into the ground because it turns out that left wing ideology is the worst thing possible for a country and now people can't afford food or shelter after 9 years of it. 

So chances are the cpc will be in for at least 10 years probably more and the liberals may very well collapse or take 3 or 4 elections to bounce back.  Meanwhile the west grows stronger politically with every census, and that is very bad news for the libs who refuse to elect a western leader. 

Given all that i get why you're bitter :) 

But by all means, bring on Carney.  I'm sure he'll do every bit as well as mike ignatieff did :)  ROFLMAO!!!!

Stupid liberals still think prime minister is an entry level job :)

I really dont :)  I enjoy the forums but they're what i do while i'm doing something else for the most part.  Most of it is iphone and voice dictation, or while i'm watching tv or while i'm on hold at work etc etc. 

People like you can only do one thing at a time.  Slow brains have to focus to get even simple tasks done.  And seeing as you can only type with two fingers i'm sure that it seems like my posting requires some great amount of time. :) 

skilled people always seem 'impressive' in their abilities to the dull peasantry :P

The same Mark Carney who opposes Canadian pipelines but invests in pipelines in other countries?

Carney can be pretty evasive as it turns out in the link below.

Demand for oil is going up in case you haven't noticed. 

And you don't think it's the least bit hypocritical of Carney to support shutting down Canadian pipelines while investing in, and profiting from, pipelines in the UAE and Brazil?

Thats the word on the left side of the street, PP has no charm, or popular appeal, and yet i have to ask why is it he is leading in every poll for the last 2 years....i mean charm and popularity has something to do with is raise to power...

We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have now done so much for so long with so little, we are now capable of doing anything with nothing.

Ya your right why would a nation whos prime GDP earner is oil and gas, why would we invest in anything to do with pipelines, we continue to buy foreign oil to power up the maritimes, and Quebec...same as natural gas plants, no business cases there either... man i'm glad the liberals were such good business people that our economy is booming, people can finally afford their dream homes, put fancy food on the table, don't need for both spouses wages to make do....WTF are we going to do when they are gone...

You make hypocrisy sound like a bad thing. For liberals it's practically a prerequisite :)

When the smartest right winger in this rubber room says that it's like a ringing endorsement.

I'm not a huge fan of Poilivre, but honestly, Carney, from what I've seen so far, has less charisma than Harper did in his early years. He's also largely in favor of the same policies as Trudeau - only more.

The main opponents to pipelines are the liberals and left; translated Liberal Party and NDP Party.    I think Harper supported the hearings and proposal for the Northern Gateway Pipeline project, but when Trudeau began as PM in 2015, he killed it.  

The Energy East pipeline would have carried oil to eastern Canadian seaports was cancelled by TransMountain under Trudeau in 2017.  Trudeau took over from Harper in 2015.   The information on that pipeline in on wikipedia:

Energy East - Wikipedia

That is one reason Canada is going downhill while the cost of living goes up.  Pipelines contribute a massive amount of money and jobs to the Canadian economy.  Funny you lefties haven't figured that out yet or don't care.  You are blinded by ideology.  

Canada's natural resources such as oil, gas, aluminum, steel, uranium, and our agricultural products are what makes Canada survive and bring good incomes.  We can't compete in manufacturing because of competition from Mexico, Asia, and China where workers get paid a fraction of what Canadians earn.  Nope.  Natural resources are where our wealth lies.  But don't thank the Liberals or NDP for that.  They don't get it.

By blocking the construction of pipelines to eastern Canada and cancelling the construction of the Northern Gateway pipeline, the Liberals (with NDP support) have really hurt Canada economically.  Just another reason Canadians are suffering so much now and many can't afford groceries or to buy a home.  There are many reason, but no pipelines is just another.

Hmmm, I guess that explains why Trudeau gave at least $20.2 billion to the oil and gas industry in 2022 including the purchase of the Trans-mountain Oil Pipeline.
