And if the Liberals were in the same situation, you wouldn't suspect some ... persuasion from on high? Especially if the coach's advisor was known for being ruthlessly cutthroat politically?
A book that reflects the author - a rather unspectacular, though professionally accomplished, globalist Keynesian and a complete opposite to Trump and alot of the rest of the world.
The Guardian likes him, which speaks volumes of course. Trump, OTOH, will be enraged by his approach I'm sure
The embrace of markets and their “subjective” valuations has led to a society that has been robbed of its capacity, declares Carney, to express what is important to us. His seven key values are: solidarity, fairness, responsibility, resilience, sustainability, dynamism and humility – all laced with compassion. That leads to three key components of any good society: fairness between the generations, in the distribution of income and of life chances. He opens Value(s) citing Pope Francis at a Bank of England lunch deploring how current trends are turning the wine of humanity into a toxic grappa of self-interest – and ends by hoping that his book can turn grappa back into wine.
He has succeeded: Value(s) is something of a landmark achievement. Carney is at his most sure-footed and convincing on the rise of a market society and the accompanying decline of values. We are at the risk of being overwhelmed by “a utopia of wealth and a dystopia of personal relations”, as one economist he quotes puts it. The book provides an original condemnation of today’s economics as surrendering the quest for objective value grounded in the essence of our humanity. As markets best reflect our subjective preferences, there is nothing to be done except surrender to their will. And the same process is being extended deep into our social marrow – even to health and the value placed on lives. Of course, as he readily concedes, markets unleash energy and dynamism, but to believe that they are always right and cannot be altered is to sign up to a quasi-religious faith. He scorns persistent market fables – “this time will be different” (the most expensive words in English, as he says), “markets always clear” and “markets are moral”. The 10 pages in which he takes down these myths are worth the book alone.

As yes, the eco marxist SJW global banker who opens his book citing an experience with known-godless communist, the Pope.
It's honestly sad. He got completely cooked by the drugs. Benzos, not even once.I just came across a JP clip recently and gave up in bewilderment after a couple of minutes
The US military shows up, probably?
I don't need to read his book to know i don't like it and he's got it all wrong

We can't know where NDP support went. If most NDP vote switches were to LPC and some LPC voters switched to CPC, it only looks like NDP -> CPC by the bottom line numbers (changes in vote counts) of a riding.
Good question. I don't buy for a second their argument that they didn't have time to mount a campaign targeting the other party leaders. This wasn't about the voting system, it was about interfering in this specific riding.
Union switching from NDP to CPC isn’t particularly strange. CPC flat out took a number of NDP seats, and there’s a fair bit of informed commentary out there on tends in vote shedding from NDP. I have no difficulty accepting that CPC picked up plenty too. While we can’t know, a fair bit can be confidently inferred.
Some bad blood between the OPC and CPC, due to that riding. Liberals could end up anywhere in the ballpark of 167-171 via recounts right now. Throw in the possibility of floor crossings and a majority might still be in the cards.

MPP Parm Gill's move means Ford must call a byelection within six months. That could spell an opening for new Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie.

The move appointing Parm Gill as the candidate in a Milton riding was blasted by another would-be candidate and prompted an angry letter to Conservative Party headquarters from the riding
However I think in this case, PP may have done Ford a huge favor.
