Was a pipe dream to think Carney would stand up to the orange menace.

    Feeling strongly about whether this is an L or a W is insane, on top of the inherent problem of being that black and white simplistic.

    First of all, you are basing your knowledge off of random news articles you read. Assuming the PM is competent, they will be making decisions based on intelligence reports that both include everything you know, and a whole crapload of stuff you don’t.

    He’s literally playing a game of Diplomacy, against a mad man backed by demons. Give him some space to cook.

      No. This is a democracy and I reserve the right to criticize leadership, thanks.

        Criticism isn’t inherently a bad thing.

        Uninformed criticism is.

          Yeah, obviously. When you hit me with this obsequious bullshit, though?

          I’m going to tell you to stuff it.

            In response to the confident claim that he made the wrong move in a game where the claimant knows less then half the relevant information.

            Again, if you feel strongly that his is an L or a W, you’re probably a moron.

              Would you give this same grace to Pierre Poilievre were he Prime Minister?

                No, probably not, because I trust him far less, but that doesn’t mean I would be right for jumping down his throat about this, just that I was biased and upset and being reactionary.

                  Then you just don’t want your guy being questioned. You’ll have to forgive me if I don’t agree.

                    Did you read what I wrote, or just have that response pre planned and fired it off in response to anything?

      “He’s playing 4D chess” he’s letting a demented senior boss him around and he doesn’t care because he’s too busy selling off our natural resources and trying to bust union strikes. Carney’s a fucking idiot conservative who I have zero trust in.

      If he really wanted to bolster us against the rise of fascism he’d give us the election reform we were promised a decade ago. He doesn’t give a shit about that.
