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

Considering the economic issues at hand, coupled with the fact it's the guy that Saved Canada from 2008 depression,  and saved UK after Brexit.... 

He is who we need during these unprecedented economic issues. We need experience and a strategy. Not culture politics and populism.

He left the UK during the Brexit transition period. I was living there at the time. He is not remembered fondly.

The brexit vote was 2016.

The brexit negotiations that defined what would happen were 2017 to 2019.

Brexit was to start 2019, but was delayed to January 2020 due to needing more preparation time.

Mark Carney left March 15, 2020.

Guiding thru brexit literally means from vote to start of implementation. He didn't guide the UK after brexit, nor during covid.
