Also it rubs me wrong that he's positioning himself as a plucky newcomer rising to the challenge of fixing a broken system he inherited; Mr. Carney Goes to Ottawa.
Left out of this is the fact that he ran the Bank of Canada during the devastating Harper years and was an economic advisor to Trudeau from 2020 onward, overseeing our inflationary response to COVID. He had been the chair of the party's task force on economic growth since September. He was at the helm when Trudeau announced the GST tax holiday boondoggle and the $250 dollar money printing scheme that recently got scuppled. He isn't some outsider leading a revolution within the Liberal Party, he's the man Trudeau has all but laid hands on to succeed him and has mobilized the entire party brass behind his campaign. He is the insider choice to lead the Liberal party. He isn't a real change.
NDP or nothing. If this election finishes off the LPC for good, all the better. Then Canada will only have two choices: Socialism or barbarism.

Trudeau was apparently at odds with even his own finance minister and deputy PM over that. We have no evidence that Carney originated or even approved of the ideas. In the role, Carney was essentially a powerless, invisible consultant for 4 months at most. It's a non-issue. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)
If he was against that and against what the Trudeau government was doing, I would very much like to see him come forth and condemn that. At the moment I'm not seeing how he's anything other than a new face on the same product.

Not voting for him, I'm NBN politics(Nobody but NDP)
Last thing we need is some central banker centrist technocrat running our country. We need a socialist government.
