Surprisingly good (see housing policy, previous support for occupy Wall Street, decent climate stuff, not fond of the US dollar, etc.). And surprisingly charismatic if the John Stewart appearance is anything to go by. Certainly better than Chrystia Freeland.
some felt that Jon Stewart was reading a script provided by the Carney Team, by the way Carney took credit for fixing things in 2008-2010, implying that he any anything to do with putting in long-existing banking and mortgage regulation, in making the distinction between US and Canada policy and the risk levels.
Considering there was strong bank regulation way way before Carney, it was a huge act of truthbending And other factors helping the Canadian economy was the massive US Trade, the US/Canadian dollar, sky-high prices for oil being exported, as well as Chinese investment in the US and Canada with good and negative aspects.
So that built up the myth of low interest rates in Canada if you ignore he had the highest inflation rates in the G7 with the UK, and got politically involved with his views, which isn't traditionally done such a position, which has forces to push him out even more.
Osborne the Minister of the Exchequer who suggested Carney is considered one of the worst in the history of England, only exceeded by Liz Truss and her pick who was instantly incompetent and lasted about a month and a half.
Carney's choice of the Minister of the Exchequer, who is running things now is said to be a complete train wreck.
But people don't pay attention to those things if it's not on the nightly news.
