One more sleep

Lying right to the very end:

Perspective is everything. Same venue, same crowd. How to make your rally look enormous by forcing photographers to keep at a distance and use a small group as a background if you want a close-up of the speaker. #cdnpoli

Editorial endorsement / Toronto Star
In a time of crisis, Mark Carney is the steady hand Canada needs
He has the best plan and the best resumé — and his Liberals are the strongest team.
This is not the endorsement we thought we would be writing six months ago.
... change came, abruptly and dramatically. Donald Trump returned to the White House. He threatened Canada’s sovereignty and launched a campaign of economic intimidation. Trudeau’s political troubles caught up with him, and he rightly resigned. And the Liberals chose a new leader — one who, despite having no background in electoral politics, came to the job with experience and a pedigree well suited to the moment.
Suddenly, the question wasn’t whether Canadians wanted more of the same. More of the same was no longer available. Now the questions were: Which party would be best placed to carry us through the chaos and peril of the Trump years? And which party’s leader would be most able to protect our country and help it thrive amid an increasingly unstable global environment?
In the three months since he entered the political arena, and in the six weeks since he became prime minister, Mark Carney has made a compelling case that his Liberals are the answer to both questions. He has been a steady hand in his response to Trump, securing a change of tone from the president (Trudeau was “governor”; Carney is not) and a promise, for what it’s worth, that the Trump administration would come to the negotiating table after the election. He has proposed serious, if expensive, solutions to some of the defining challenges we face. And he has approached the task of governing in this chaotic moment with a calm that will serve our country well as we vie for foreign investment. Carney has begun to outline an agenda rooted in the sort of pragmatic leadership Canada needs now....
