It's not like it's anything new. Pierre Elliott Trudeau and Chretien were most definitely radical centrists in their way of governing. Ross Perot was seen as one. You are taking the word radical too literally.



Nowadays "radical centrist" is barely a thing. If Liberals actively shifted their focus back to the center and radicalism which at least on the surface Carney is trying to do, it probably would piss off a lot of self described progressives while Conservatives would still see them as left. That's how you know they hit center.
I think you’re giving the words left, right and centre(politically speaking) too much credibility.
