I'm situational. I try to be an optimist, but modern politics and my hockey team are making that difficult.

The fact that Carney’s somewhat of a political novice kinda showed with this whole Paul Chiang incident.
The best possible outcome would’ve been Carney or the party promptly firing him. Next best would’ve been staying quiet and make Chiang step down.
Worst possible outcome is what actually happened—Carney expends the political capital to personally defend Chiang and refuse to fire him. Only for Chiang to quietly step down anyway.
Hopefully it doesn’t hurt him too much.

An usher made a very stupid decision, team apologized and gave him tickets to an upcoming game.
Doug Ford calls Blue Jays fan who was kicked out of home opener for wearing ‘Canada Is Not For Sale’ hat
Dan Begley spoke with the premier, who first left a voicemail, and said Ford told him to keep wearing his “Canada Is Not For Sale” hat. Begley also got an apology from the Jays and tickets to another game.
www.thestar.com
Begley was removed from the game in the first inning because of the hat, though team officials later apologized saying they had made a mistake and offered him tickets to another game.
The ballpark’s policy states that anything “intended to draw attention to international, political or other similar events, causes or conflicts” are banned to not “detract from the experience of other fans.”
Begley says a security worker had complimented his hat on the way in, before he spent an hour and a half relaxing with his friends without issue at the stadium. Then, the trouble started.
”(The usher) was very polite, and she said that I’m not allowed to wear something making a political statement and that I needed to remove my hat or turn it around backwards. I said no,” Begley told the Star.
Half an hour after that initial exchange, the usher came back with two large security guards and a supervisor who asked Begley to leave.
“I saw the security guards, and I thought, well, I’m not gonna cause that much trouble here. So I walked out, and on my way out, I let everyone in the section know I was being kicked out because I was wearing my hat.”
Begley says the crowd started a “Let him stay!” chant as the staff told him they were just doing their jobs.
The Blue Jays reached out to Begley later on Thursday.
“We have spoken with the fan and apologized,” Andrea Goldstein, vice-president of communications for the Blue Jays, told the Star in an email. “Our staff made a mistake, and we have addressed the issue to ensure it does not happen again. We invited the fan back to the ballpark, and he has accepted our apology and is looking forward to returning.”
“They made a mistake. It was a bad mistake,” Begley said. “They admitted it, and they corrected it, and that’s fine.”

Yep, hopefully it won’t matter.
And it’s a tempest in a teapot anyway, compared to all of the CPC candidates who’ve spouted misogynistic or racist shit online, or have been photographed happily wearing their MAGA caps. And PP sure as hell won’t be firing any of them, or his campaign manager, for that matter.
Still, with what’s at stake I still do get nervous about any unforced errors on the Liberal side.

Maybe it’s 3D chess by Carney.
Let the Cons complain about how the leader didn’t do enough to remove a candidate with questionable ties to a hostile foreign actor.
Then mention that the Cons have known foreign agents in their ranks and PP refuses to even hear about it.
