I wish there was another choice _ "watchful" _ although I guess that is implied. Carney's attitude of brisk efficiency is welcome, but he doesn't bring the same energy or focus to climate change as he does to trade, defence and other issues. And climate change is not a partisan issue, or a secondary concern: it is, plainly, costly, harmful and getting worse. Perhaps he is adopting a calculated ambiguity designed to disarm Danielle Smith and others. Perhaps that is too charitable. What we need is a political leader on climate_ and I don't see any in the political top tier in this country.

We talk a lot about how our electoral system is bad at apportioning seats, but it also exaggerates how polarised and regionally divided the country is. Under proportional representation, there would be a lot more NDP/Green members - along with Liberals from Alberta, and Conservatives from Toronto.
