It's too early to call Mark Carney a 'Teflon' candidate

from West of Centre

Crowd sizes have suddenly become a talking point in the federal election, with many comparing Pierre Poilievre’s massive rally in Edmonton to Mark Carney’s smaller, but still maxed-out, event in Calgary. Meanwhile, polls suggest the Liberals are holding a steady lead over the Conservatives. Are the Tories in serious trouble? And how many gaffes can Carney make before one finally sticks? Past midway through the campaign, is it too soon to call him a ‘Teflon’ candidate? West of Centre host Kathleen Petty explores these questions with political strategists Michael Solberg and Zain Velji, and freelance journalist Kathy Kerr from Edmonton. They also discuss how much weight should be placed on reports of half a dozen or so ridings in play across Alberta.*Please note this episode contains explicit language.
