Did you actually click the link?
I ask because I am not touching that with a 10 foot pole, but am curious about the content.
I did. I like to read opinions to see if any good points are raised. I don't see any valid points in this article. The author derives Carney's entire personality from a 5 minute photo op where a chef helps him cook some pancakes at the Calgary Stampede.
The author suggests Carney is an angry authoritarian who hates working class people due to his behaviour in that photo op. Specifically, things like not picking up a pancake he dropped on the ground, and saying the reason he couldn't flip a pancake well was because the chef was making them way too big.
I've seen many valid criticisms of Carney, but this article isn't one.
Thank you for the TL:DR, I appreciate it.
Well I'm glad they ended up at least skimming the post (the first half of it, anyway), because they got to see that the piece actually agrees with their initial criticism: nobody cares if the PM is good at flipping pancakes.
It's a blog post on my own site, nothing scary about the link 🙂
Edit: I'm fine if people don't like the blog post but it's kinda weird to downvote me for assuring someone there's nothing wrong with the link itself (literally an HTML file with no JS or cookies).
Oh well, hit a nerve I guess
