All these analysts explaining Carney’s pipeline deal like is 3D chess. Seems we’ll go to great lengths to make excuses for leaders we trust (or want to trust), despite being shown what they stand for- which in Carney’s case is an expanded military, trashing climate, and cutting taxes on yachts, etc.
