Anyway, I think Carney is clearly way better than Trudeau, but this story definitely rhymes with Edwards moving out of Canada.

Right, but his duty is to shareholders. Unfortunately our corporate economic ssytem doesn't care about what is morally good. So he could have objected on his own personal moral grounds, but then he'd be fired for not doing what is in the best interest of the company. He could have quit, and someone else would have done it. I guess I just don't see blaming someone for doing their job and not breaking any laws as reprehensible.
