“My question to Canadians is simple: Is Pierre Poilievre the person you want sitting across the table from Donald Trump?” Carney said, referring to the Conservative leader he disparaged as a career politician.

“I have managed budgets before. I have managed economies before. I have managed crises before,” added Carney, who served as head of Canada’s central bank during the 2008 financial crisis, as well as the governor of the Bank of England when the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union.

“This is a time for experience, not experiments,” he said.

My opinion is anyone but the Liberals, in order to create real world consequences for doing population driven QE. It should be a warning to all that it is a way to lose elections, since it dramatically hurts the poor and causes shortages without creating real prosperity.

We essentially inverted the phillips curve, which BoC publications say the labor shortage is a natural phenomenon after QE in order to restore the created wealth inequality from asset price inflation, so we shouldnt be trying to fill the temporal labor shortage before the Bank of Canada raises rates to cool the job market and asset prices.

Oh so you're like the people who were telling others to vote third party to punish the Democrats in order to get the Republicans in power... So, how's the weather in Moscow my man?

But voting for Conservatives is leaning into that damage. So, surely you mean to exclude them too?

The person you are replying to is an anti immigration advocate. It’s all they talk about and they’re only point in any issue.
