We are headed for a major economic crisis as we are forced to decouple a deeply integrated economy with the USSA that is now a hostile partner. Someone like Carney is who you want either as the Governor of the BOC, or in this case PM.
Probably splitting hairs here but it's both. He also has experience in business in various roles senior roles at Goldman Sachs, Brookfield, Bloomberg, and others. I think it's a good thing that he has experience both on the policy side as a central banker and in actual business. Conservatives used to agree with that but no longer do because now it's not convenient.
