Quote from: crazy canuck on Today at 09:12:16 AMA maple MAGA guy was explaining earnestly how much he is concerned that Carney will ruin the economy in Canada just like he ruined the economy in the UK. When I asked how he ruined the economy in the UK he looked at me for a few seconds searching for an answer and the he said, "with his economic policies". So I asked the next question but unfortunately he said he needed to do more research to get the details to me but he was sure he was right. So I will have to wait for those insights.Most people have no idea what idea what a Premier does compared to a Prime Minister and where provinces got their historical funding for things like superior education, healthcare and housing. You ask people in a vox pop who's the Minister of culture and half are likely to answer Celine Dion.

Surviving in the sense of not becoming a lame duck.
2nd term Presidents always become lame ducks after the mid terms. Even if their party wins (which itself is rare). Without the power of a future election, the power of the President in Congress is always diminished, with both allies and enemies.

Quote from: Richard Hakluyt on Today at 09:41:56 AMSo I guess that when a Canadian senator retires the PM of the day chooses their replacement.
Oddly enough the House of Lords here has been a better performing part of UK governance than the other parts in recent years. A low bar though.
