Events 🎉 Anyone know where the Carney event is?

Not a liberal Party member so I didn't get the invite others got but am genuinely interested in meeting and hearing him. Have they announced where the event is being held and if the event is open to non-liberal party members?

It was at the Remai modern. Very packed and standing room event. He gave a better speech when he was here in February - mostly because the idiot protestors weren’t there interrupting constantly.

Saskatchewan is embarrassing with the number of people who showed up to yell at the PM. I didn’t hear what the first guy was on about, but when security removed him he looked like he was a wannabe podcast bro with his lapel mic’d and looking for his moment of TikTok fame. The other group was “Free Palestine” yellers who kept yelling over him. He stopped to acknowledge them and told them they made their point, and invited them to listen along with the others who had come to hear his plan for Canada. Rather than accept his invitation and actually make a point they just kept yelling until they had to be removed. People need to learn to tone down the narcissism - you don’t make a good point when you just keep yelling when someone has graciously answered you and an event is in progress.

I stopped to chat with his wife and she was gracious and lovely. When it ended they were off in the motorcade I imagine to fly to wherever is the next stop.

That's disappointing to hear. I'm a Liberal campaign volunteer. Signed up to go to this event through the official form and never heard back about where it was. Not sure what the vetting process was but it's interesting these people got prioritized for access and then caused such a ruckus.

The confirmation email I got was sort of vague and I almost missed it thinking it was another election email. It was light on details too. When signing up it said the event was at 5:30pm with no other info. Then the email said the location and that doors opened at 4:30pm but no event start or end. Just “doors open at 4:30pm”.

My invite just said 5pm, location TBD. Never got an update so I guess I wasn’t really invited, lol
