Powerful post-election speech by our Prime Minister Mark Carney. He describes sweeping and bold plans. Rather than my attempting to summarize it, I encourage Canadians to put aside their partisanship and listen to the entire speech. #CanadaStrong #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic... - ThreadSky

PM Carney's the right person at the right time to lead Canada.

Wrt the QC story, I get that Québécois dislike the monarchy, and they did help get the Liberals elected and Carney PM, but the reality is King Charles is head of state, and reinforcing 🇨🇦 sovereignty as Trump threatens it is paramount.

Right. And he's the Prime Minister of Canada, not the Premier of Quebec. Every choice has a critic.

Agreed...it was powerful, informative, strategic, at times surprising, and not totally lacking in the humour we're coming to expect of him. Great speech in my opinion.

Right man for the times,
thankfully.
The difference between the character of the ‘UniteTheRight’
Conservative Party of Canada,
and PMMC,
will be stark,
to say the least.
Hoping a lot of folks reconsider CPC’s embrace of USA style politics since forming.
We live in interesting times indeed

How does one cut government spending while expanding programs? Lots of job creation but at the same reducing immigration? Meanwhile the birthrate in Canada is less than what is needed to keep the population from shrinking. I hope he succeeds but I don’t see how without adjustments.

Poilievre and his forced birthers can fuck right off. Leave women alone, and they may decide to have babies again.

There are many problems like this in the real world. The challenge (and it is possible) is to find ways to solve this multifactorial problem as optimally as possible. (None of the levers are binary or absolute.)
