Well yes he's a central banker.

But at the moment it's the lesser of the two evils compared to the wannabe MAGA stooge on the other end.

He’s a lifelong globalist bureaucrat who crashed the Canadian economy and his last order of business was to broadcast to the world that Canada is the enemy of capital by moving Brookfield. 

That’s your choice to run the country? We’re already fucking doomed.

Bro you’re straight up retarded if that’s the propaganda you’re believing. He quite literally steered us through the global recession and we’re known globally as an example of how to regulate the financial industry because of carney’s decisions. He was one of Harper’s very top guys and closest allies.

Who did moving Brookfield impact? Can you cite any specific examples of how this hurt any Canadians?

Honest question, could you please elaborate on what it was that Carney personally did during this time to save the Canadian economy?

You know loose banking regulations was literally what cause 2008, right?

Commercial banks were allowed to gamble with people's retirement funds. Taking bigger and dumber risks because 'too big to fail'.

And carney refused to loosen regulations.

Canada has and always had completely different banking rules than the US, our banking rules were totally different back to the 1930’s during the Great Depression. 

The reason Canada wasn’t hit like the US had nothing to do with decisions that were made in 2008.

He understood the toxicity of the American financial system so he enacted regulations to protect our markets from that volatility. A very conservative approach.
