There’s a broader strategy at work here, too. By letting his opponents expose the smallness of their politics, Carney’s will start to look bigger by comparison. This might not satisfy the Liberal partisans in his midst, although after he saved their party from political oblivion they almost certainly won’t push back very hard. But it will look good to the sort of middle of road Canadians he’ll need to win the next election, whenever it comes — the ones who largely abandoned the party near the end of Trudeau’s leadership.

    Carney keeps showing that he doesn’t want to do things from a party first mindset. He’s 100% Team Canada, and I’m here for it.

      This is 50% why I voted for him, the other 50% was he just has the skills and pedigree that none of our other leaders were boasting.

      I feel like donating to his campaign was some of the best money I’ve spent.
