I feel like Carney should be an FC Edmonton fan?

“He has shown great support for us. I made a joke with him that ‘I heard you’re an Everton fan?’ and he goes, ‘Yeah’. And I go, ‘I’m sorry about that’. He replies: ‘Why does everybody say that? Everybody has to pick their team and stick by them.’ I said, ‘I appreciate that you don’t switch from Everton to Arsenal or Liverpool, like everybody else’. There’s something so genuine [about] that. Could a president of the US ever be an Everton fan? No chance.”
