Well analyzed and outlined.. Carney has and will stoop to any level of commentary without regard to reality because the chances of his liberal government having to generate results are zero.
And then there is always a grocery credit to announce that lowers food expenses for 10% of the population in a year or so.
I didn't listen to his speech because I know he is a smooth talker. He should be, he has had lots of practice in the upper echelons of society.
I read the transcript - reading allows you to digest what was said without having to endure how it was said. A lot of people have said they listened to it, but did they listen all the way through, or just the selected sound bites show on the nightly news. Or worse, repeat what the talking heads on the nightly news said.
Love the comment about how people suddenly become more interested in their phones or suddenly remember they need to do something else when you start asking about the substance of the speech, or any speech.
My personal theory is that Carney watched “Love Actually” over the holidays and realized that the scene where the British PM stands up to the American president was worth emulating.
Thank you for this thoughtful commentary. I am glad to see others found the reference to Havel as sickening as I did. Carney’s description of our public square as loud, diverse and free is another low point. Truly a master of speaking from both sides of his mouth.

Yes my thoughts too
Clear and rational. Your viewpoint is deeply appreciated.

I am glad I have someone to share my disgust with Havel.
The comment. Not Havel 😂
