I wonder what happened to the $350 000 each of the ones who didn’t win- that’s a big entrance fee and was likely not all spent in the run..

Goes into the Liberal's war chest for the upcoming election. That's a pretty normal practice for leadership campaigns to put pressure on the candidates to fundraise for the party. Just that the amounts were much, much higher than usual for this one.
 
They claim there's no wealth involved in politic 'n another lay-out, scheme or occult transgression TU Gales as psyche and sophistic? Sophy's Reich ... there in the wilderness ... a mountain was provided ... divine peaks? Cry vast ... it is a huge flaw ... in the ultimate humus ... unending fecund-ite.

Do you understand "-ite" as alloying faction? Thus it comes together at the end ... slay Mere? Pan Dore? Like a bote ... somethin in which one can mess about floating down the rivË (the dittos make it out as 2 Ayes in the reins).

One in looking out the alternate out looking in ... twit Eire? Few gather much from the lesson in paranoia, anger and hunger derived from not knowing ... sub verse 've?

It's all in the mine Dan ... deep water .. a prospect? Hua ... Poughkeepsie? May relieve the vapors ... a' shroud of hope?
 
Nice to hear you say our new PM is a "youngin", given he and I are the same age :giggle: (though his birthday is coming up soon and is before mine so he'll be older for a month and a half).

Well I can honestly say I hardly know the guy, and I'm pretty sure most Canadians can say the same thing.
I would have felt better with Trudeau in this crazy political atmosphere, but here we go.
And PP never will be an option for my vote down the road.

I am one of the ones who is fairly familiar with his career and I'm not totally sold on him as PM either. Given his economics background, he'd make a helluva finance minister, but not sure he's ever shown the qualities we need in an actual leader. Guess we will find out soon enough. There's lots of speculation he'll pull the trigger soon rather than waiting for the opposition to topple him when Parliament resumes.
 
If one becomes ultimately sold on a politician ... there is a crack in your systematic organization ... thus psyche disorder!

Some are sold on it as dissonance is best ... disturbing! Stay calm it'll quiet prior to the end ... prioritized ... yet storming in the midst!

How emotes are contained ... keep "M" close to the rooks ... sometimes thoughts are gregarious as these items of squawk ... Ja imes crows ...

These are all occult ... like con Dor is ... portal to Hua 't? Thus spun ...

As P Como declared in Wheels ... find one ... bar roue 'n ... barrow of deli Cassie ... thus sung in the trees ... whispers! Mores to come ...

Mighty Con'd real ... unvirtuous Abbae ... imagine the abstracts ... bones in the war d' robed ... and the cry to get out of it ... yet the fab goes on ...

I really hope he makes himself known publicly too, he seems like an introvert, but that's just a guess .....because I haven't seen him much.

Problem is, anyone looks like an introvert in comparison to the bombasts to the south of us...

Besides, what's wrong with introverts? They don't have a compulsion to fill silence with meaningless noise, to start.

Introverts are fine, but I'm not sure it translates well for someone that is required to be a public figure and often requiring being outspoken.....grated one hopes theyre saying worthwhile things.
 
Queen Elizabeth II was clearly an introvert, as have been other public figures. It does not mean that you are incapable of being outspoken; it's just that it's something you have to balance out, from an energy POV. And I'd argue that the non-compulsion to fill silence makes it slightly more likely that the introvert suppresses the less worthwhile things that go through everyone's brains.

I have spoken in front of congregations sometimes knowing few if any of those present, quite forthrightly. For me, my introversion tends to show in more intimate social situations. I hate crowded rooms and social scenes like parties and certain types of meetings. I would rather be in my rec room with a few family and friends than in a bar or big social event. I feel uncomfortable and de-energized in situations like that. And even with people I know, it often takes me a while to "gear up" to speak or address the room.

But I am quite okay speaking my mind in front of a room. I have not really done so in a while but that's because the opportunity has not presented itself. Most of the time these days, I am just speaking at smaller work meetings with people I am fairly comfortable with. But if I was in a new job, that could be quite different. I am now coming up on 26 years with this employer and some of my colleagues and co-workers, including 3 of the 4 senior team members, have similar or more longevity so I know this bunch quite well.

Okay but I'm talking about the "political" atmosphere today.....and to be honest I don't even know if Carney is an introvert.....I just haven't seen much about him, other than his steller banking banking resume.....that part's good.
 
So can one be an extrovert and shy do people think?

Realzing that the terms Extrovert and Introvert were invented by influential German Swiss Psychologist Psychotherapist Psychiatrist Carl Jung, who believed in the immaterial and other neat things

Here are some simple definitions from him

"....attitude-type characterised by orientation in life through subjective psychic contents"
--Introversion

"...an attitude-type characterised by concentration of interest on the external object..."
--Extroversion or Extraversion

He saw it as a spectrum, so higher in one meant lower in the other

Queen Elizabeth wasn't elected and quite frankly her speeches were lovely but I'm talking about another arena with competition.
And yes, yes of course substance over not, even if one's an introvert....but why can't we have both an outgoing person open to dialogue and knowledgable with relevant things to say? It's time to get more young people voting.

I'm just talking about the ability to sell oneself in this fickle world....but yes agree with what you're dissection.

Oh yeah that is an interesting point

I wonder if someone did a study on Competition and Introvert/Extroverts?

Like I still dislike competition (I don't even play cribbage at the Legion when I found oot people compete there for money--and I never scored a goal in all my soccerring) and used to be super shy (not anymore). I and my whole family generally seemed balanced between body, spirit & mind -- we were omnivorous explorers. Tho I am not like my bro who goes bushwhacking lol A tent near civilization is fine by me. And I love people. And I also need my alone time. So, who knows?
