Dear everyone happily dunking on PM Carney for <insert your problem here>,

A reminder that *perfect* was not a candidate in the last election. The two real choices in that election were between Carney, a reasonable human being, and Pierre Poilievre, a self-serving, perpetually taxpayer funded, power hungry, sycophant.

Not happy with Carney? Fine. But at least be honest enough to realize he's a better choice than what the Conservatives offered: wanna-be cult leader Diet Trump.

@brad Yes, having a less conservative conservative in charge is better than having a more conservative conservative in charge.

Just like getting shot in the gut is worse than being shot in the head, especially when everyone could just vote to not not be shot.

Agreed.

@PatrickoftheG For almost 150 years Canadians traded basically centrist federal Liberal and Conservative governments. Until Harper. This time we just did the same thing, trading the Liberals for a technically non-existent progressive conservative.

I do wish that campaign Carney was the PM now. Just like I was disappointed when campaign Trudeau was quietly disappeared for PM Trudeau.

But almost any version of Carney is better than the alternatives being put forth by the other parties.

@PatrickoftheG That being said, I do like your analogy ... I wish everyone would just do the obvious and vote not to be shot.
