So Harper following Carney’s advice for leveraging Chretien/Martin stabilization of the economy and reduction of net debt to succeed in the 2005-2015 window doesn’t get counted as a W for Carney, just that he isn’t nearly as capable dealing with Trumps economic circus as Poilievre would be?

No, he was governor of the Bank of Canada during Harper's tenure. That's not at all the same as being Trudeau's economic advisor. The Bank of Canada deals with monetary policy only, not fiscal policy.

The governor of the Bank of Canada is also appointed by the board of directors, not the Prime Minister (the deputy finance minister is on the board, but does not get a vote in this matter). Cabinet can theoretically veto an appointment if they really wanted to, but in practice never does.

Accurate to the stated policy. No link to Harper, sure. Then none to Trudeau either, right?

Folks of course are tempted to bend things to suit their own perspectives…

No, he was actually an advisor to Trudeau starting in 2020, at first for the COVID recovery strategy, then staying on afterwards.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

I remember being a broke ass private struggling to afford stuff.

I remember going to SISIP and having a financial advisor tell me and my wife to get rid of our dog and move into a basement apartment.

I remember telling said financial advisor that we would be doing no such thing.

Financial advisors, it turns out, can be ignored.

The stuff Carney is doing as boss is probably along the lines of what Carney told Trudeau to do as boss, to which Trudeau probably told him he would do no such thing.
