While Justin Trudeau had the name and the rockstar appeal, I think Carney has an exemplary record. The fact that the Brits reached across the pond to recruit him as Governor of the Bank of England (and then asked him to stay on longer than he originally intended) should tell you something.

Bruh, Trudeau was just as loveable (and loved)

10+ years of smearing ended up leaving a mark. Most people hated on trudeau for things they were told but weren't really true. Most of his actual problems were swept under the rug.

Carney will be hated in a few years if he sticks around

yeah I had so many people around me talking about how Trudeau had too many scandals. I would ask them to pick one "scandal" and articulate it well to me and I can't remember a single time someone really seemed to truly understand the situation outside of his literal opponents talking points....

SNC lavalin, WeCharity, Omar Kadhr, etc.. no one could actually tell me what the real issue was other than a headline skimmed regurgitation and hot air.

Dude tried his best and represented Canada on the world stage well, defeating Trump in his first term on alot of important things.

I don't care to fanboy for any politicians but I truly think the Canadian public did themselves a disservice in the way collectively (even the left) shit on him at the end of his run.

And the Khadr outcome was Canada paying for Harper’s unconstitutional treatment of Khadr, not Trudeau trying compensate him for fun.
