Thanks. And you're right - he still could do a really good job for Canada. I'm too old to count on that, but I'm also an optimist.

Makes perfect sense if you've been watching America's adventures in Cuba, Central America, Iran & other places over the last 70 years. These are people who want the reins of power for their own purposes.

He's an accomplished business guy with lots of experience dealing with banking stuff & national economies. Making him more our Head Bureaucrat, & not so much a "political" leader.
But that also means trickle-down economics is his theory of government. Uncaring is what that looks like.

10 - 15 years ago you could watch the comments on any National Post article about the environment and all you'd see was people whining about how climate change is a crock. I honestly think NP's game was to generate anger about the climate, & then encourage people to hate J. Trudeau.

I don't think it's a lack of backbone. Carney is a Neoliberal, a politician who earnestly believes that if corporations are getting what they want & making lots of money, that's all we need for a successful nation. Having been an international banker, one could see how they are his constituency.

They're completely in the dark about how this could work, but won't listen to anyone who understands what would have to happen.
Meanwhile, we live in a province where the people we PAY to run the gov are abdicating their responsibilities so they can cosplay some characters from Atlas Shrugged.
