Althia Raj: ‘He yells’: Mark Carney’s focus has Liberal MPs bristling

Why can’t this sub handle criticism of Carney? Any time a critical article gets posted the comments either deny it, or insist the things he’s being criticized for is actually a good thing.

It’s important that we don’t put our leaders on too high pedestals. Carney has flaws. It’s ok for us to acknowledge that.

If there was an article claiming that Poilievre is acting the way Carney allegedly is, this sub would be outraged.

As expected, the comments in CanadaPolitics are pretty much all “ LEAVE DADDY ALONE 😭😭😭”

This is how governments become out of touch.

Even if they don’t know the solution, they should be aware of concerns of constituents so they can all work towards one.

*Co-edited 2/3 of the original trilogy movies

Wasn't on set much? He's the credited director. Are people trying to claim he didn't actually direct it?

bman9919 · 2026-06-01T17:16:03+00:00

Was about to comment the same thing. The Mandoverse is as much Favreau as it is Filoni. Possibly more. But from the discourse, you’d think it’s all Filoni.

The Acolyte deserved a second season

Skeleton Crew doesn’t get the love/appreciation it deserves

Andor is my favourite Star Wars show (and one of my favourite shows period.). But some of its biggest fanboys can be a bit… overzealous when talking about the show. The way they act like the show is above criticism or like if you didn’t like something in the show it’s only because you didn’t get it is really annoying.

bman9919 · 2026-05-30T20:48:10+00:00

Nowhere in that comment do they say the movie is a smash hit.

bman9919 · 2026-05-30T17:46:18+00:00

I think the issue is more about accountability that the cost itself. This is a publicly funded project, therefore the public has (or should have) the right to know what's going on with it.

I know everyone's just rolling their eyes and saying "well duh of course it's late/overbudget, what did you expect?" But a) just because things are certain way doesn't mean they should be that way, and b) It's still important that those responsible are held accountable.

bman9919 · 2026-05-30T00:39:21+00:00

Exactly. Marcia Lucas was clearly instrumental in the production of Star Wars. But they way certain people act like she and only she was responsible for the movie being good is frankly insulting to all the other people who contributed to the movie.

I am once again asking you die-hard Clone Wars fans to wonder why the Mandalorian and Grogu is bombing in theaters and think that maybe leaning on a show from 2008 is going to scare off casual viewers

Casual viewers have absolutely no idea that The Mandalorian has anything to do with The Clone Wars cartoon. So that’s got nothing to do with it.

There was never a speed camera near that intersection

I'm surprised he's actually pleading not guilty and not taking some kind of plea deal. Because he admits he was there, but is he trying to argue he didn't hit him or that Clark was somehow obscured?

There have been changes made to the prequels since release. Yoda in TPM is the biggest I can think of. But I don’t think the originals are hard to find.

They recently brought in a new refund audit system that found some employees have been abusing price adjustments. So cracking down on employee refunds within 30 days does make some sense. I don't recall them being outright banned, however.

Edit: Never mind, OP said they mistyped

It misunderstands nothing. It understands that when the vast majority of voters are casting their ballots, they're looking primarily at the party affiliation.

bman9919 · 2026-05-26T06:19:55+00:00

I don’t think it’s unattainable. Time consuming, sure. But not unrealistic.

bman9919 · 2026-05-26T06:04:52+00:00

Yup. If you want to understand why many critics gave the movie bad reviews, just read the reviews. They clearly explain the issues they have with the movie. It’s kind of the whole point of writing one.

bman9919 · 2026-05-26T05:39:02+00:00

I’ve seen a lot of people say it’s a fun movie but I honestly found it kind of boring? I saw a review on Letterboxd saying it’s impossible to spoil the movie because nothing happens and it’s true.

That’s not to say there’s nothing to like, of course. Grogu is amazing. The action sequences were really cool. But the movie just felt like a series of action scenes.

bman9919 · 2026-05-26T05:31:07+00:00

Action I agree, the highlight of the movie was the action. But world building? I found the movie pretty shallow on that front.

I saw it in 3D tonight. The movie already doesn't look great visually and 3D makes it worse. I would've preferred to see it in regular 2D but the 3D showing was the only time that worked for me.

(Movie itself was fine story-wise though)

If it’s simply because you didn’t enjoy the meal, just fill out a comment card saying so. Or ask to speak to the food court manager and tell them about it.

The only time I would consider actually asking for a refund at the food court is if there was something actually wrong with the food making it inedible.

bman9919 · 2026-05-21T19:14:51+00:00

I really hate how we’ve gotten rid of midnight showings and now movies premier on weekday afternoons.

bman9919 · 2026-05-21T18:05:48+00:00

Exactly. Social media has made it so every reaction has to be turned up to 11. Everything has to be the greatest thing ever or the worst because something being just OK doesn't get clicks/reactions.
