He's a pretty standard neoliberal but he's fairly straightforward about it I suppose. He's better than PP but that's not a high bar at all.

At this point, people in Canada are scared of the Conservatives just bending over for Trump (myself included), so right now there's a surge in polling for the Liberals, which I think would still be there if they ran a ham sandwich, nevermind Mark Carney.

More centrist people probably like the guy more. Whether he will beat the Conservatives? I don't know anything anymore in North America. Canada has its fair share of right wing grifters and nutjobs.
