* One year into Mark Carney’s tenure as prime minister of Canada, he maintains a significant level of public trust and political capital, despite limited tangible progress on key domestic issues like affordability and housing.
* Polling data indicates the Liberals lead nationally, with Carney enjoying a positive favourability rating. This support stems largely from Canadians’ perception of external threats and a desire for competence, stability, and judgment in leadership.
* Canadians view Carney as a capable manager of complexity, particularly in a volatile global environment. However, this support is conditional, and delivery on domestic priorities will be crucial for sustaining his political standing.

No doubt if you consider the alternative.

Absolutely best decision to transition out of the US dominance over Canada. Has used his international connections to make trade deals that will take time but will be much more fruitful for Canadians in the future.

He’s doing fine

If an election were called today… Given the available options I would vote for the guy. After 8 years of Trudeau’s „Sunny Ways“, it’s a breath of fresh air to have adults back in charge. Now if only we could see the same in the opposition parties…

I don’t know. He seems like the best choice for the catastrophe we are going to face. How can any politician navigate the chaos of the global world? A lot of this is outside our control. The Iran War is about to make everything so much worse for affordability.
Sunnydaysomeday on
He’s great. Not perfect but making some good decisions, trying to protect and expand our economy.

It feels like a lot of Canadians are still kinda in “wait and see” mode. Some people like the more calm/competent vibe, but others are frustrated that stuff like housing and affordability hasn’t really changed yet. Feels like the goodwill is there for now but it’ll depend on what actually gets done next.

I don’t support everything he does but he was definitely the better choice for Canada

Only one question to ask yourself.
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind?

He needs a better team around him. Replace Marc, Sean, Gary and Anita to start with and things could look much better

He’s a modern day Progressive Conservative. Anyone old enough knows exactly what I mean.

If the government capped overall immigration intake and prioritized a more geographically diverse applicant pool, that would be great.

He quickly removed the federal piece to provincial trade barriers. He quickly worked to remove barriers to huge nation building scope projects. He rallied like-sized countries into shared purpose. He attracted a ton of investment. He’s spending money smarter – to build an economic engine to propel us into a more secure position.
He has taken pain away from Saskatchewan with removing the barriers to canola. He is signaled the intention to work meaningfully Alberta. He has built economic bridges both home and afar.
And that recent investment in the north? I’ve been waiting my whole lifetime for a Prime Minister ballsy enough to do that. The north should be a national prerogative and he’s the first PM to do anything meaningful about it.
So far my personal opinion, he’s shaping up to be the best we have had at the helm in decades.

Most Canadians are still giving Carney the benefit of the Debt**

As someone who used to always vote Conservative, I couldn’t bring myself to vote for them last year.
I’m content with the Liberals in power.

I’m still very proud of our prime minister after his speech in Davos Switzerland. He’s intelligent and Carrie’s a great deal of respect from other dignitaries. I’m happy with him. 👍

He took office in a very difficult time. I think he’s navigated well enough so far. It’s difficult to judge someone based on how bad it could have been.
But I’d love to see a some concrete wins.

As a Canadian living in the U.S. I am very jealous.

What’s changed? A year isn’t enough time but nothing has really changed for Canadians. We’re still struggling with cost of living, housing, healthcare, insane immigration, crime.

I don’t like him much but I don’t mind him so much in comparison to other options. However, Doug Ford needs to go

I’m still Canadian, Trump has turned his attention elsewhere
Sounds like a win to me

Good but needs a better choice of cabinet ministers (ie: public safety)
Sea-Safety-6130 on
I don’t think this guy is serving Canadians. He hasn’t lived here for decades. He’s more interested in net zero climate scam policies and massive immigration to garner votes through government dependency. The liberal government seems determined to get more control over us, destroy our relationship with the US and cozy up to Communist China.

Are the “most Canadians” in the room right now?
Houserichmoneypoor on
I’m sure Canadians are fine with him. We gave Trudeau 10 years of reign even though he showed obvious incompetence from the get go. Not that Carney has improved on any of the past governments stats, but he’s the new guy and makes great speeches, so we buy it. Hopefully we cut our losses earlier this time if things continue with the status quo.
anom_atom on
He did more than Trudeau in 1 year than Trudeau all time
Decathlon5891 on
For every amazing thing he does for international trade and relations, he does something behind the Canadians backs
So with that, it’s 50/50
Our youth unemployment is 14%. Largely because TFWs have scooped up entry level jobs from groceries to mom n pop stores
Until he fixes immigration I don’t think this will ever go beyond 50%, and he better keep on cutting these deals so the parents of these youth can still support them

I really wish he cared more about workers.

One year and we haven’t started building anything… time is just passing by. Housing, affordability, everything is still the same. According to Carney we are an energy superpower but we are are paying now 1.57 per litre in Calgary when a month ago was 1.10, I don’t know. I’d like to see more action. And the unemployment rate is getting higher.

Carney doesn’t need to be perfect, he just needs o be better than the alternative and there it is no contest.
Poilievre doesn’t deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence.
ATR2400 on
He’s done a lot of good things, but they’ll take a while to pan out. I am disappointed to see that housing is sluggish(it is a long process, but I was hoping to see a more dramatic start ), and I’m wary of that 5% TFW boost, but… can’t win all the time.
And trust me, as someone who will be graduating into this ass job market into a brutal sector, I’d *love* immediate change in the next few months, but… oh well
TSAforlife on
He seems to be working his ass off making trade deals to fill the vacuum left by our neighbours to the south. I just hope he remembers at some point that there is more to life than the economy.
TravellerSL8200 on
He’s doing great on a global scale but not doing the little things to improve everyday life for the average Canadian (i.e., keeping remote work)
Responsible-Ad8591 on
I didn’t vote for him, but under the circumstances I think he is doing great.
Kaybee-Rose on
He’s alright. He has a really tough job to do right now.
Tbh in general, I’m always baffled at how much the government is blamed for stuff that doesn’t really seem like it’s in their control. Maybe I don’t know how politics works, but how can anyone tell if a government is goofing up or not when they haven’t had the chance to react to whatever is happening? Be it oil prices, a housing crisis, or what-have-you?
snahp888 on
According to this sub, mainstream media, and the millions of huge supporters he is doing a great job. He flies around the world making huge deals with other countries, rarely seen him in the house of Commons and he is absolutely the killing the debates. He answers any questions truthfully from anyone. No conflicts of interest and heavily invested in Canada. He works for the people of Canada. 🙄🙄🙄
Pestus613343 on
He’s going on a tour of the whole planet doing back trade deals. This is important to cement the direction of the country long term. It’s necessary to pivot away from reliance on a single unreliable and hostile trading relationship.
Once that’s done, I fully expect him to switch focus to domestic execution of those deals. That’s going to bring resource development, infrastructure projects, and manufacturing facilities across the country. I also expect him to then concern himself with national unity in Alberta and Quebec, and livability economics for average people.
If he does not focus on these things relatively soon, the generosity the country has offered him will dry up.
DanfromCalgary on
He has been on two world tours and announced dozens of major partnerships opening up new lines of revenue while not humiliating us by going to trumps home and worshipping him. He’s had a steady stream of opponents abandon their party to join his and they are making actually traction in Saskatchewan and Alberta for the first time in a longtime . What do you mean the benefit of the doubt ?
