Mr. Carney is a brilliant man, and the channels of communication are more open between the two of us than they ever were with Mr. Trudeau. But there is a chasm between the way he sees Canada and the way I see Quebec. The idea he’s promoting—that there is one Canadian economy instead of 13—is not true. The Maritime economies are different from Western Canada’s, and theirs are both different from Quebec’s. It doesn’t mean we can’t negotiate together against Trump but, at the end of the day, uniformity won’t serve everybody. It’ll transform Canada’s regions into colonies at the service of Ontario and the West for oil, gas, cars and steel.
This is what we need, governing should be both collaborative and adversarial.
I like that he can both stand up for what’s best for Canada and still hold firm the important things for his home province.

I thought he was great in the debates.
