Holy heck, that Mark Carney launch was a letdown [Video]

Mark Carney came to the official launch of his campaign for the federal Liberal leadership on Thursday as the favourite in this abbreviated contest. At least that’s what the pundits seemed to have decided.

Carney is the Liberal leader from central casting: whip smart; credentialed like nobody’s business; a native of the Far North who’s now connected globally; bilingual; handsome without being pretty. And as we learned from that interview with Jon Stewart on the Daily Show earlier this week, he can be personable, funny and quick on his feet.
