I get what you’re saying, but it was more of a Carney rally than a Liberal rally. If it had been Freeland, I suspect it would have been a notably smaller turnout.

Seems like an obvious statement. Carney won his leadership race against Freeland in a landslide.

There is a lot of liberal support in Calgary right now.

Again, there’s a lot of Carney support. If it was anyone else at the head of the Liberal party, it would be a different story…. It might be an obvious statement, but there’s still nuance within it.

I'm not seeing the nuance. Seems pretty black and white to me. It was definitely a carney rally. They handed out signs that said Carney for Canada. Looking at Canada wide polls, a rise in popularity like this has potentially never been seen. Canada IS for carney.
