Edward Keenan: Why Mark Carney is Toronto's favourite kind of boring

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : Trump turned this thing on its head across the country.
49% : In winning earlier this year -- virtually sweeping the 905 and winning a plurality of Toronto seats just weeks ago -- he said, "I ran my whole election on Trump.
48% : Lower taxes and smaller government is a message that can sell here.
41% : But some things that really seem to work for Conservatives out West (and, not coincidentally, for Trump down south) don't have much history of traction here around the big city.
38% : Trump represents a different scale of chaos, and Carney a different kind of resume.
25% : Then Trump got sworn in as U.S. president, and all hell broke loose, and on election night, she lost to Liberal Karim Bardeesy.
24% : You don't need me to rehash all the ways Donald Trump and his threats to annex Canada -- and his desire to make himself the main character even on election day itself with his social media post urging us to vote to become the 51st state of the USA -- dominated the election.
