Mark Carney’s speech in Davos made a lot of headlines. So did Donald Trump’s response.

We need more than words. We need to see real action that shows real change.

Based on our partyloyalty.ca research, moves like this are very rare.

When they occur, they're usually:
1️⃣ leadership-related (not policy)
2️⃣ based on a projection of future events (not past ones)
3️⃣ a harbinger of things to come (more defections)

Nenshi - So why were you cool with hiring 5 relatives of Mraiche (and Amery)... Didn't that raise any concerns for you?

Smith - I met with Mr Mraiche and I listened to him!
