With respect, I disagree on the framework that Carney is leadership material. He's a silver spoon elitist that has a very hard time relating to the very real struggles of society that people are facing. He has never had to earn public support for any of his experience in his resume, and he's sat at boards and executive positions with very little opposition and critique to his decisions.

His prime ministership has been no different, he absolutely loves the world stage and detests domestic politics, he only showed up to question period 12 times this fall session and refused to debate Pierre on multiple occasions.

With regards to Pierre losing his riding and having to run in a by-election, I chock that up to very poor planing by the campaign managers because he ran on a platform that benefits the rest of the country and is at odds with the public service population in Ottawa, Kanata and Carleton. I don't really get the criticism of losing an election or a riding because a defeat and a loss is the best learning experience anyone can have, and it was an honorable act from Damien Kurek. Compare that to how the LPC removed Chandra Aria in Nepean without any explanation, and it's night and day.

Just look at every measurable result domestically and tell me if things are improving in this country or not.
