I guess I'll vote for Mark Carney in the next election. I don't usually vote strategically but he seem to have his head screwed on right and the stakes are about as important as they get. I sure as hell don't wish to see Steven Harper's mini me, Pierre Polievre as Prime Minister. He is a nasty piece of work we should all be happy to live without. On the plus side Carney will irritate the hell out of Trump. He hated Trudeau because he looked like a male model and Trump looked like a bald, spray tanned, fat bastard with a horrible comb over. (Nothing wrong with being bald. But the comb over... yuk). This time Trump will face a genuine intellectual who will be dripping empathy. Trump of course would struggle with a grade five reader so I have no idea how they'll communicate. Use pop-up books perhaps? Plus Trump struggles to think past next week so the context of a distant future will be lost on him.

In anycase,we are headed for stormy weather and Mark may be the guy to help us weather it.

Applaud your choice! And your reasons are very good - with extra points going for the phrase "Harper's mini-me". LOL
