Not sure if you have hired people in your role (that's not a jab, just a question), but I've found it easy to get fooled by resumes. I've had people whose resumes are OK and turned out great, and had people whose resumes are great and have turned out just OK.
I like Carney a lot more than Trudeau. He's obviously bright and has a pedigree. But a bright person can still make bad decisions...and I worry that his Climate Change stance will end up leading to a continual series of bad decisions that the Liberals started when they moved forward with the Carbon Tax and caused a huge increase in our debt loads and were a huge part of lowest GDP per Capita relative to our peers.
I see more debt load, bad energy policies (ie pushing green over Oil & Gas), an increase in government spending and taxes, and in general an underperforming economy for another 5 years.
I hope that doesn't happen and Carney can prove me wrong. But it's been 10 years...hard to get excited about thinking that Carney will maybe be different.
