I don’t know if I’d say the stakes are higher. Poilievre could win and I’d still rather be here than the states (for as long as here still isn’t). 😛

For vibes, I look more to Charlie Angus. And it’s probably for the best that he can reflect what’s in our hearts and give us that catharsis, without being in a position to really enflame tensions. There’s already a considerable difference between what I’d want to say and do and what my smarter more measured, dispassionate self would say and do. And then Carney finds a stance and tone that’s close to my latter option, but I must begrudgingly admit is even better.
