“My question to Canadians is simple: Is Pierre Poilievre the person you want sitting across the table from Donald Trump?” Carney said, referring to the Conservative leader he disparaged as a career politician.

“I have managed budgets before. I have managed economies before. I have managed crises before,” added Carney, who served as head of Canada’s central bank during the 2008 financial crisis, as well as the governor of the Bank of England when the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union.

“This is a time for experience, not experiments,” he said.

    He inflated two housing bubbles, here and the UK. Then worked as a banker. Was there something Im not seeing that makes you so optimistic, I’ve never heard him speak on anything except climate change prior to this, he’s definitely never spoken out against the extreme cost of living.

    I think most young people want cheaper housing, which as I said he has already said he would nearly double Harpers numbers on immigration. Seems to me he really loves bank profits.

      If you think the conservatives will make housing cheaper then I’ve got a bridge to sell you. If you think the NDP has a chance to take power I’ve got another bridge to sell you.

      The economy and housing are fucked all around the world, not just Canada.

      Migrants will have to continue coming if we don’t want to have to face the crisis they’re starting to face in Japan and Korea with not enough young people to take care of seniors. Anyway, the alternative is leaving those people to die as we fuck up climate and the countries they live in.

        Lmao this is the second time I’ve seen this Turnip guy on here, I’m not convinced that he isn’t a right-wing shill that got lost trying to find Reddit.
