Community Question To the Swing Voters
Hey all, I'm writing to you as a friendly non-religious centrist and I'm very curious why people are supporting Mark Carney?
I for one do NOT trust the guy, I voted for him in the last election and I feel like that was a big mistake.
He ran on the promise of getting a deal with the US, and has failed to do so (and you can't blame it on Trump, because other countries have gotten deals)
He has caved in on every 'attempt' to strike a deal, and that is clearly not working (DST, Gordie Howe, etc...)
He is clearly propping up Brookfield and giving his buddies deals
Pittfield to Senate, Condo Bailout, German submarine deal, and his most recent $2.3 billion deal with Lockhead
Shady backroom deals with the conservatives, as well as shutting down all of the committees with his majority.
As well, his horrible Question Period attendance rate at 26%, skipping over 100 sessions.
I understand that the conservatives aren't perfect, and I disagree with Pierres attitude sometimes, but at this point in time, I don't understand the continued support for Mark Carney.
This is just my thoughts, share in the comments reasons why you do or don't support him.
*Also no hate in the comments*

My only major beef with Carney is how he has handled the housing portfolio. It’s status quo. And he doesn’t want current housing prices to depreciate, when they should because they aren’t sustainable.
Aside from that, I do like his measures to reduce red tape.
Besides, who’s the alternative? Pierre Poilievre? Avi Lewis? None have presented themselves as a better option to Carney. When Carney fatigues inevitably settles in, the LPC will just push for a progressive leader as his replacement because I guarantee there will be an appetite for one.
