“What’s funny about that is they assume my ambition is positional. They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.”
I’m not an american, but from my perspective you only had two decent candidates in the last election on the Democrat side: Gavin and AOC. Not sure how Gavin stands now, but AOC seems great. Kamala was a disaster then, will be a disaster again.
If you didn’t, watch her (AOC) speak at Munich security conference. She is a great speaker: smart, eloquent and logical. I don’t see her as direct as Carney, she is more careful with words. But I wouldn’t want to be in her position if she wins: she will have sooo much crap to clean up after current disaster…
Carney is also an amazing speaker. I don’t know his internal politics and what it means for Canada, but foreign policy, communication and speeches give an impression of a decent leader. Very direct statements, no ambiguities or guessing. I was really surprised to hear a politician speak this way. European leaders are usually softer in their statements, leaving the doors open, especially when it comes to relations with the USA. Carney flat out said that the USA is unreliable.
Gavin Newsom is not honest about his positions.
he seemed as an decent candidate then…
I stopped following news about him when he had that Twitter episode with trump
things changed since then?
I don’t follow him that much since that Twitter circus with trump
While Carney did say those things he also still bows to the USA in some areas. His speech was tougher than his actions. Still, I think he’s the guy Canada needs at the moment. He seems like a larger picture thinker, and a ton of financial knowledge.
