He was the first non-Briton to run the Bank of England and took them through Brexit and a piece of Covid. In Canada he was governor coming out of the GFC (2008-09) where Canada was the first country to raise interest rates coming out of that crisis.
Bottom line, is it would be very interesting to see how Poilievre fares against an outsider, who clearly knows his stuff.

I don't think it will matter tbh. The recession in Ontario is starting to really bite and life there is getting worse. Homes are still too expensive, mortgage costs are biting, the immigration backlash there is real and legitimate given how many intl students and tfw have landed there. There is no reason for anyone in Ontario (outside of Ottawa and Kingston maybe) to vote liberal. They are going to get trounced.
