You know, Canadians can want more action on some things always.

That's a normal response in public opinion terms.

But I don't see any evidence in my data that people think, you know, the thing that bothers me about Carney is he seems to be kind of asleep on the job.

He's just not really getting up and getting at it.

And so I find it strange that he keeps on coming back to that argument, especially given that, you know, the pace of Pierre Polyev's political career changes.

has not been that accelerated, let me put it that way.

It's been a long time that he's been in politics without ever having won anything that allowed him to materially change the direction of the country.

The third thing that I saw he tweeted out, he said, Canadians want us to fight.

That was the extent of the tweet.

I just think that's a discordant note.

Other than the hard base of his party, I think most other Canadians are saying, well, that's not really what we want you to do.

We want you to hold the government into account.

We want you to participate in the debate.

We want you to maybe throw in some ideas that maybe it'll bother you, but the other party might steal those ideas and implement them.

But the notion that people outside the political arena

party membership really want him and the conservatives to fight, period, full stop.

I just think that's out of touch with the time.

So I just don't think he has a good feeling for how to make his case to Canadians.

And obviously he did for that 87%, but he still seems like a fish out of water to me.

Yeah, I think that the names that I would have mentioned as having some similarities would be Harper and Pierre Trudeau in the sense of both of them were somewhat reluctant about the politics of being prime minister.
