Bruce Anderson

I'm always learning.

And that's great.

I'll deal with the two different topics.

The Pierre Paulien one for me is he comes off to me now as like a rebel in search of a cause.

He doesn't know really what is safe or a productive space for him to occupy in terms of his participation in the Canadian political scene.

Some of what he's doing,

to me comes off as completely cringeworthy.

He stands up in the House of Commons and says, I've been right on everything all along.

Mark Carney's right on everything all the time.

And to do that over and over again, you kind of have to wonder, well, does he really believe that?

Does he believe that voters believe that?

Does he believe that his caucus looks at that and says, yes, that's exactly the kind of leadership that is rallying and confidence building for us?

I don't think any of those things are true.

So I think he's just kind of meandering from spot to spot.

but doesn't really have a sense of is there a role for him in a Carney world?

Does his party really want him to be there despite the whatever it was, 87% support that he got in that vote a little while ago?

And if there is a role, what is it?

So he obviously also doesn't have –

the kind of relationship with his caucus that we've seen embattled leaders in the past try to have with theirs.

In other words, to act with a sense of decisiveness and force, to punish people who step outside the lines or paint outside the lines, to reward people who are kind of visibly loyal to him.
