Teflon Carney - they keep throwing stuff at him but it just doesn't stick
One of the most impressive attributes that Mark Carney brings to Canada is respect, both given and taken.
As he is going across the country, meeting people and giving speeches, Carney shows such respect for all the people he deals with -- he isn't arrogant in the least, he doesn't have to show off how smart he is by putting down ordinary people.
Carney even shows respect for Trump as the American president, though he doesn't hesitate to call him out for the damage he is doing to the world economy.

Just as Carney respects others, he also demands respect for himself and his office and his country -- before he would even speak to Trump, he demanded that Canada be respected as a sovereign independent country -- I don't know what Carney said during that phone call but we aren't hearing any more "jokes" about the 51st state and "Governor Carney" crap.
Poilievre and the CPC are trying desperately to come up with some smear that will stick -- they're tried sneaky, Brookfield, the blind trust, plagiarism, poor French, Jeffrey Epstein, his father's job as principle of an indigenous day school - all stupid and pointless. Carney just rises above it - replying "look within yourself, Rosemary" whenever his character, integrity or truthfulness is questioned - and it slides right off his back, forgotten within a news cycle.
