I’d like to believe this is because Mr. Carney is amazingly qualified, am more likely to accept that it is because Pierre Poilievre is such an unattractive alternative, and secretly suspect it’s the same kind of fangirl idol worship that Justin “Isn’t he cute!/At least he’s not Harper!” Trudeau and his papa provoked. Mr. Carney may not be cute, and he might ideologically be more suited to lead the old Progressive Conservative party, if it should ever resurrect, but he has international big money glamour, and Canada feels the need of someone with clout to stand against our proximate enemy.
