how exactly is Mark Carney lacking in credentials?
He was the Governor of the BofC and BofE
worked 13 yrs at Goldman Sachs
vice chairman of Brookfield
does he need to run a hot dog stand?

The argument around credentials is silly.
We happily elected a snow board instructor as Carney's predecessor; and his main opposition has oodles of experience in Government and we hold that against him.
The whole of the argument drips with biases.
I don't like Carney because I see him as a continuation of Trudeau. And we do not need more of that.

He has “oodles” of experience in partisan politics. He has only two years in government (ie. in cabinet).

Sure, but he has been an MP for years. Take away the partisanship around it and its experience in the governance of Canadians, as both a member of the sitting Gov and in opposition. Which for some reason we don't appreciate as experience.
My point is the argument around credentials and experience is moot. It just biased arguments. My appreciation of ones political experience is your perception of their lack of lived experience.

Good new for border security in the Cornwall, ON area. The Blue Anchor Bar and Grill re-opens on February 12!
Sorry, “no credentials and no business experience”? Is Diane Francis just really stupid?

I'm desperately hoping the whole "let's just try and gaslight the nation re: Mark Carney" is a reflex action to buy time to put the pieces in place for a grown up, policy driven campaign- because the playbook for the last month has been transparent and pretty damn sad.

Also, he hasn't been beaten with the ugly stick, but Ivanka isn't going to be thristing over him.
Mark Carney may be a lot of things, but being a pretty boy that doesn't understand business isn't one of them.

His stance on Canadian energy and net zero, along with all the major players pulling out of his net zero plan, says he has an agenda that is not conducive to promoting Canadian industrial or economic growth.

Or alternately, he's seeing a lot of growth potential in green industry, and thinks that's somewhere that government investment to encourage growth makes sense, as opposed to continuing to subsidize the very profitable O&G industry (that is still needed).
Different objectives is very different than having no business understanding (like Trump and tarriffs or trade deficits), even if you don't like his opinion.
