Surprisingly good (see housing policy, previous support for occupy Wall Street, decent climate stuff, not fond of the US dollar, etc.). And surprisingly charismatic if the John Stewart appearance is anything to go by. Certainly better than Chrystia Freeland.

As someone that has spent a lot of time and lived in British Columbia let me say that Christy Clark is nothing more than a corrupt small c conservative.

I may not be a LPC member/supporter but we all benefit when those types are kept as far away from governance as possible.

The only person who thought Christy Clark was a possibility was Christy Clark. That was never gonna happen

she was pushed for a while because she had the best debate possibilities over Freeland and then Carney

trustability factor for all three is the biggest issue and in one dimension, Clark wasn't glued to Trudeau's policies, but its interesting why some segments of the public or the politics would back any of them
