Shea very well liked and appears to have a very likable personality in addition to appearing very competent in general. And as I said her experience in politics is extensive having held multiple high positions But I was gonna say I wonder how much experience she has in accounting tho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US could never I don't know if she is tbh It's true she's had many high positions over the years and has a lot of experience and appears competent but none of her past roles as far as I know ever involved accounting or math That doesn't mean she isn't qualified or doesn't have studies for it tho. I'm just saying none of her past roles that I know of have anything to do with this Also Trudeau seems to have a low-key obsession with her always promoting her to higher and higher roles and always speaking so great about her I dunno if she's actually that good or if low-key he's infatuated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do u whatch any news? She's the Deputy Prime Minister (second in charge)... She's been speaking constantly on the news to reporters on Covid-19 updates and before that she was on the news all the time because she was the main person representing Canada with the Tarrifs and NAFTA renegotiations She's literally the most high profile Federal Politician right now next to the Prime Minister himself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
