HALIFAX—Even the most partisan Conservative has to admit that Prime Minister Mark Carney has had a pretty solid first year as prime minister.
True, the official opposition has accused him of conflicts of interest flowing from his corporate connections before entering politics. And, yes, they have tried to paint him as a sneaky, rich guy.
Those scurrilous allegations didn’t take root. Instead, there was Carney’s record in office. Mega trade deals like the recent one with India, improved working relationships with the provinces, renewed international respect for this country, and a growing lead in the polls over his rival, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.
