  Pardon me, I didn't realize throwing money at stupid people was the same thing as skillful rebranding to appeal to thoughtful voters.
Now that the election is safely over I'm hoping Canadians can admit that Carney is an internationalist banker who's going to be an even worse failure than Trudeau. If not you're just going to get a Doug Ford supermajority as soon as the minority government collapses.
