Trudeau taps Carney for help in crafting COVID-19 recovery plan​

August 11, 2020 EnergyNow Media

Mark Carney, the only person to run two major central banks, is helping Justin Trudeau craft next steps in a plan to pull Canada out of a deep recession sparked by the coronavirus.

Five months after stepping down as Bank of England governor, Carney has become an informal adviser on policy matters with the Canadian prime minister. Trudeau is leaning on the former Goldman Sachs banker as a sounding board for what officials are characterizing as an ambitious economic recovery plan, according to a person familiar with internal policy operations.

The plan will seek to tackle everything from deficiencies in the social safety net to climate change, infrastructure and immigration. The first measures are likely be rolled out in a budget update this fall before a more comprehensive fiscal package early next year, the person said.


So do we blame Mulroney for 'being tapped' by Trudeau to help guide the CUSMA discussions in the past?
 
Carney was one of Trudeau's economic advisors.
I understand that. But, there's always a but, unless we know what that the actually meant, meaning; was any advice/guidance asked for, given when asked for and lastly, enacted when asked for and received, its really nothing more than a PR move done by the PM and the PMO.
 
There is absolutely no doubt that Justin Trudeau was an absolute disaster for the Canadian economy, but the Conservatives really need to pivot their messaging from the past to the present if they want to be seen as a good alternative to the Carney Liberals.

Report tracks capital flight between 2015 and 2024.

Comment from Conservative MP: "This is the record of the Liberal government under Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney".

Mark Carney became leader of the Liberal party in 2025.
Mark Carney was advising Trudeau long before 2024. I am definitely not a Carney fan but he has been saying good things. I say wait and see if government actions match Carney's words and much of that will depend upon what happens with our resource management. Will we see another pipeline? Will we see Churchill development? Will they encourage mineral extraction? Will the laws be changed to facilitate development and encourage investment?

Carney attached himself to Trudeau and vice versa. One of the many reasons I was and remain loathe to have any faith in the current government.
