Carney is giving real “guy in the hot dog suit” vibes in these speeches lately.

When it was important your first reaction was to not make waves. Do a better job of walking the walk, Mister.

He is doing a better job than most other leaders ever have.

That may be so but he set a high bar at Davos and it’s on him to meet it. I’m rooting for him.

And what "walking" was he supposed to do? Put boots on the ground to defend Iran?

Nothing Carney says or does can exist siloed into its own neat little vacuum, especially when it comes to Trump and the US. So while coming out guns blazing right from get go might have made you feel better, it would do absolutely nothing to help Iranians, and it would likely harm Canadians when Trump inevitability lashes out in return.

I would have preferred the opposite. His initial response was to support the US air strikes. I would have wanted a measured response supporting international norms and that he would commit to investigating the developments before taking an official position.
