Carney, 59, kicked off his campaign to take the reins of the governing party at the Edmonton-area hockey rink where he learned to skate as a boy while growing up on the Prairies.
“I’m doing this because Canada is the best country in the world, but it still could be even better,” Carney said.
The Harvard-educated Carney said he has the economic bona fides needed to steer Canada through a period of uncertainty as the country stares down president-elect Donald Trump and the threat of punishing tariffs on all our goods.
Carney said Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is the “worst possible” choice to put on the other side of the negotiating table with Trump.
Carney only connects with millionaires. He has never been concerned about paying bills. If you think the cost of food and rent is too high, Carney can’t understand you or relate to you. He wants to raises all taxes for living in Canada. Similiar to how Trudeau has never paid a bill in his entire life.
On a personal level this is likely true. However he said that the average Canadian pays more taxes than they should and that wages are lower than they should be. Both of those statements go against that. What would the concrete policy would be? We don’t know yet. He’s yet to unveil anything specific. Would he follow through on anything he proposes? Won’t know unless we elect him a PM and see. I’m skeptical, but I’m triply so of PP.
Carney has been guiding Trudeau for a minimum of 2 years. Carney helped bring in the carbon tax, which is going up in April, that Freeland implemented. Come April 1st, your money will be worth less as the cost of life in Canada goes up, again, all guided by Carney.
Got proof?
'Cause when Carney was in charge of the BoC during the 2008-09 meltdown Canada didn’t do so bad. Zero banks went under and hundreds of thousands of people didn’t lose their homes.
That was due to legislation that was already in affect, such as the banks are required by law to have a higher amount of cash on hand than American banks. The Bank of Canada can’t make legislation or pass regulations, so Carney had zero to do with banks not going under.
