The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that as Mark Carney assumes leadership of the Liberal Party, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre sounded like he did not want Justin Trudeau to go. The Globe's Campbell Clark writes that Mr. Poilievre held a press conference that did a lot of looking back. Almost all of his lines of attack about Mr. Carney were more or less about Mr. Trudeau's record, as if Mr. Poilievre had invested so much in slogans aimed at Mr. Trudeau that he could not afford to ditch them. Meanwhile, Mr. Carney is pushing the next election, probably less than two weeks away, around getting Canada through the next four years of U.S. President Donald Trump. Mr. Poilievre seems reluctant to adjust to that. Mr. Poilievre claimed Mr. Carney is "trying to distract from his many scandals and conflicts of interest," of which he did not detail. There is that one line of attack that has some real bite -- that Brookfield Asset Management recently moved its headquarters to New York while Mr. Carney was chair. It runs embarrassingly against the current wave of nationalist sentiment. The new Liberal leader is a wealthy man who does not have to worry about the price of groceries: rather like Mr. Poilievre.
