Why does Mark Carney suffer from a slight dip in his favourable impressions? It's that Canadians are becoming a little bit more unsure if he's the right person to lead the country, says @davidcoletto.bsky.social

📊 NEW: Conservatives lead by 1, but the big story is underneath.

Why did Mark Carney become PM while Pierre Poilievre fell short?
Because Canadians wanted reassurance, not disruption.
