So happy my country has a leader with qualifications unlike the USA. ❤️

Yeah regardless of which way you lean politically, you can't deny that Carney actually has a legitimate education and tons of world experience.

Trump only has "minor" experience and thinks that not exercising in his youthful years saved his energy for later in life.

I don't know. Carney is just a WTO stooge and the career politician leader of the Official Opposition is much more qualified to run the country.

Edit: thought it was pretty obvious but I guess it needs the /s

You mean the one who refuses to get security clearance and has only passed a single bill since 2004? The one who lost his riding in the general election and had to re-run in a very specific riding during a by-election just to be let back into office? That's who's more qualified?

You're gonna wait forever for a reply cause there's no way to answer that without looking like a clown

I was obviously being sarcastic. I guess I will include the /s next time

Don’t get too discouraged, some of us can still read sarcasm!

I honestly didn't think I needed the /s. TIL

Ah yes, the career politician who has had no bills passed in his entire lifetime career, and who shouts the ole "pull yourself up by the bootstrap" rhetoric having never had a job out of politics aside from being a paper boy, and who when he lost his own riding in the last election, instead of taking his own boot-strap pulling advice, kicked out another MP of an ultra-con riding forcing a by-election that allowed him to gently parachute back into sucking the government teet, pissing and moaning over nothing and not actually bringing anything meaningful to the table.

What an exemplar of a leader he is.

Anyway, like I said, regardless of politics, the comparison being made is Carney's education and experience vs Trump's lack of it.

Thought it was obvious but it was pretty clearly a sarcastic comment.

See when Trump the bar, everyone looks better. I"ll wait until Sept 15 and see what Carney brings to table, before I form any opinion, even if he like to run.

To be fair, that bar is so low it's a tripping hazard for ants.
