Is it possible that Carney masqueraded as a climate zealot all these years only to wedge his way into leadership of the modern Liberal Party where he would then shake off the zealotry and steer the party back from the radical left?
I doubt it.
Carney has been a very smart & shrewd businessman, who has worked his way into high profile positions that set him up well in the future.
He's invested wisely in the stock market, has obtained a controlling interest in several large multinational corporations, and rubbed elbows with the elites of the world as being Governor of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England.
I don't know if he was ever truly a climate zealot, or just a shrewd investor who happened to have enough influence at the UN to steer investment dollars towards his company & the stocks he owns.
Make no mistake about it...Brookfield will benefit greatly as a solution to some of the problems the LPC has created.
...
He's not the hero in hiding we need to steer the LPC away from the radical left - that party doesn't take their orders from the Canadian people.
If he was, he wouldn't have ran a bigger deficit than Trudeau/Freeland ever did - one that quite possibly pushed us over a fiscal cliff.
Nor would he be working to impose yet another carbon tax, one that will absolutely be passed onto consumers.
(For a world leading economist, the fact that he seems to think an industrial carbon tax won't be passed down to consumers is kind of astounding...especially seeing that very thing is happening in the grocery world.)
He even stated in Parliament fairly recently that carbon taxes have 0 impact on the price of groceries...an extremely Trudeau-ish answer.
...
Personally, I think the world is in line for a massive shakeup in how the world functions.
It's economic systems, commerce systems, internet access, and general personal freedoms, are about to be turned on their heads.
This isn't alarmist. It isn't a conspiracy theory. The signs and hints are pretty much everywhere, it isn't something they are trying to hide or even gently roll out.
I think Carney is focused on adjusting our own systems & associated functions to line up with the new framework.
He wssn't pretending to be a climate zealot, but he
is very much a climate investor - and during a time where that will likely pay off big for those invested in that space in the coming years.
....
Is he better than Trudeau? I have to admit, yes he is. By a LONG shot!
And having met him twice now, I have to also admit I like the guy personally. (At the G-7 Summit in Kananaskis, I was impressed by how courteous he was to hotel staff & everybody really. I think he's a genuinely nice guy)
But if I look at what's coming down the pipe in terms of future issues (not just for Canada but for the western world) more & more I think his goal is to get us thru the upcoming transition in one piece.
Anything he does that steers the LPC back to being more centrist and less batshit crazy far left, the better it will be for both the LPC & the country as a whole.
My 2 cents anyway
