That's a start.

So he is going to reduce services, leaving people in hard times in even harder times. He is going to reduce regulation, allowing corporations to take even more advantage of the poor and destroy the environment and basically take trickle down economics to 11.

This is exactly the opposite of what the common Canadian needs. But rich guys like Mel will love it.

I thought you said "common person".

Common people benefit from unlocking the wealth creation of the private sector.

Government services benefit from a robust and productive economy. In fact, it's the only way to pay for the services

Trickle down, baby!

They are far too inflationary to ever be practical. Encouraging their deployment in climate-change-irrelevant jurisdictions like Canada is exactly the type of virtue signaling but ultimately pointless exercises that are the signature of Trudeau and the modern Liberal party. He has been a close advisor to Trudeau (officially and unofficially) for the last 4 years, as the country has rung up deficit after record deficit. He is not a beacon of fiscal responsibility.

Carney is a keynsian and oversaw monetary, and often ultimately fiscal, policies through the GFC and since that have driven up asset prices and financial assets in the name of "stability". This is effectively a wealth transfer from the poor to the rich, and we have seen the results in wealth inequality. The financial systems capturing the state have been responsible for wealth inequality, and this setup has been wrongly described as "capitalism". He's one of the global authoritarian elite technocrats that people should insta-hate. The fact that progressives see him as some great new hope against the the current national and global shift towards anti-authoritarian policies is fascinating.

Central bankers should not be running for office, and convention has generally been that they don't. It is instantly obvious that this creates a conflict of interest for the banker. There are some institutions which should not see cross-over. We wouldn't want a supreme court justice to run for the PM job for the same reason.

I think you just wrote a paragraph saying Carney managed the economy well through the GFC.

I fundamentally disagree that the bank causes wealth inequality. Instead that is a government function of taxation.

But inject that central banker globalism in my veins.

(I agree with you it is ironic that in terms of economic policy the progressives became conservatives and the conservatives became progressive)

Bankers holding power should be conservative cat nip.

Too bad that 'wealth creation' isn't reaching the people that need it the most:

Lots to glean from the Kansas situation, but not many useful conclusions to draw in a broad sense.

It makes more sense when you perceive there to be two political axes...with at least one axis being authoritarian v. libertarian

What are some of the useful conclusions to draw in a broad sense?

Well having a job is wealth creation in itself .

That’s a really weird article to use for this argument . “See tons of people are getting jobs who were unemployed and being supported by the government , but the wage only grow 2.5% ”

Would you rather have half as many new jobs created but those that were paid 5% more ? Cause overall that’s a lot less “wealth creation” overall

Well you did and then I provided with you with a response thoroughly addressing all your objections to which you were silent.

How long have you held anti-globalization beliefs? Are you anti-NAFTA and free trade? Back when the conservatives attended WEF were you anti WEF?

Carney was appointed by Harper, he worked for Goldman Sachs.

It’s funny that progressives are lining up behind him and market driven people like yourself are criticizing him. I will enjoy the show. It does not make any more sense when viewed as authoritarianism vs libertarianism.

I must have missed it. Feel free to link me to your post.

[Winsor_Pilates]

One Carney interview has causes this much chaos?
He's definitely the right choice for the Liberals.
Gonna be a wild 9-10 months.

I doubt Harper would appoint him now.
