I think sometimes you need the right person at the right time. Carney is this way with me. His specialty is exactly what he's doing now - growing trade agreements and partnerships excluding the USA. I think he's a smart man, I don't think he's an evil man, but he's also a money guy. That last one always seems to have pitfalls.

In any other political environment I'd prefer someone else more focused on the working class, medical care, the environment. At the moment we really need someone willing to stand up to the USA and redirect the country away from the USA. We need that now. So far he's been good on this.

We have to choose our battles and when to fight them.
