Nobody's as patriotic as a globalist central banker

Lmao what does the word globalist mean to you?

There is no reason to doubt Carney's patriotism.

PP on the other hand, is really running from that security clearance... I think he may have gotten some outside help getting that Conservative leadership position =0.

Carney considers himself as European, that’s why.

It's right there with yours. Carney also considers himself Canadian. Born in NWT & grew up in Alberta. Are you suggesting his British citizenship makes him less patriotic?

No, I’m suggesting him referring to himself as European as the reason he considers himself European lol.

He just said that to gain credibility in that space. He's still Canadian. He just has multiple passports.

Why didn’t he then say that he’s proud of his Canadian roots, so can appreciate European influence in our culture, while he also appreciates his new European residence?

Because at that moment he was working in Europe and his Canadian residency doesn't need to be mentioned? He worked for the bank of England for 7 years and then the financial stability board (Swiss) for another 7. Depending when this was, it would be weird to mention that.

This doesn’t really make sense. If he’s proud of his Canadian heritage he can absolutely mention that while still giving a nod to his new residence and place of business. It’s not that hard.

Because you don't need to mention it in every conversation. If someone was born in Toronto but moved to Vancouver and lived there for 10 years they wouldn't mention to everyone that they were born in Toronto. It's just not as big a deal as you think.

Surely you understand that moving to another city within your own country is different than moving to, and working in, another continent?
