Carney has numerous factors working against him like never having run in an election, never being elected to office. Strikes that will have him swinging needlessly but he also has factors in his favour. He knows finances. He knows business. He knows how to run a company.
Carney’s achilles heel may be that he is quick tempered as seen when the media questioned his blind trusted assets. He was quick to defend with aggression approaching veiled anger. This could do him harm in a election campaign where the media will be like hungry dogs demanding answers to raw boned questions.
If he can control his senstivities and respond with on target reminders about his experience and work skills, he will win. However, it is crucial to remind him, his surprising rise to the top of the polls against Poilievre is no guarantee that he can coast to the electoral finish line.
