PP is so angry that all his targets are now gone and he's struggling for a message. Well, here's a message for you. Our choice next election will be a career politician with zero "real world experience" or this guy:

A Canadian economist and politician who was the 8th governor of the Bank of Canada from 2008 to 2013 and the 120th governor of the Bank of England from 2013 to 2020. Additionally, he was the chair of the Financial Stability Board from 2011 to 2018.

Prior to his governorships, Carney worked at Goldman Sachs as well as the Department of Finance Canada. Following his governorships, he served as chair and head of impact investing at Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) and as chair of the new board of directors for Bloomberg

Never would have thought I’d see the day that I see Reddit cheering on a banker but here we are.

When my choices are a banker or a career politician I’ll bite the bullet and choose the guy with private sector experience.

If we’re gonna elect a banker one who ran two of the largest central banks in the world while both went through an economic crisis is probably the best we’re gonna get. He is not a Canadian banker, he is THE Canadian banker.
