If the core policies aren't significantly different, then nothing that matters is significantly different.

That’s
what any new leader will need to demonstrate. Dropping the carbon tax was a good first step.

Carbon taxes are small beer. If the overall "climate emergency" policies are going to result in the same outcomes (eg. projects delayed or denied), and the social programs are going to stagger on as an expanded suite of underfunded entitlements that are wins for people lucky enough to secure qualifying positions and losses for people who are merely chumps paying taxes to support others, and fiscal policy is continued overspending, nothing is going to improve.
Fewer set-tos with female MPs and less sunny ways grandstanding aren't going to really improve Canada's long slow slide in living standards.

Mark Carney, the 'unreliable boyfriend' who ran UK's central bank
Carney is now running for the Liberal Party leadership in Canada. What does his time in London tell us?

"The (logo) created for your campaign is too close for comfort," MetCredit's CEO said in an email to Carney's campaign.

This is funny. And also analogous to Carney's relationship with Trudeau.

Economics isn't much of a science, let alone an engineering discipline. What does "qualified" mean? Has an education and has run a business? Many people fit that. Econ profs talk about economics and models, but no-one is capable of predicting outcomes well enough to reliably set policy. Central bankers try to manage a very limited mandate (ie. keep inflation rate in a particular range) and have difficulty achieving even that.

Economics is a part of social science, not “hard science” like physics, chemistry, etc. Hell, even with more “hard science” stuff people get it wrong all the time - like meteorology.
As for qualification, I’d say he has done the most in the economic realm out of the candidates. Being a Central banker isn’t exactly an entry-level position.
I’ll take him over any populist.
He did a good job as a central banker in two countries. His record stands.
Given the CPC blaming inflation on Trudeau and the Governor of the Bank of Canada, Carney seems to be quite the upgrade.

Carney’s time with Bank of England is not a glowing period for the UK.
And his allegiance to net zero is going to be a major problem.

Agreed on axe the tax but my roulette chip would go on the “double down on the Trudeau Clone narrative” square. It’ll be interesting to see where the Blue info-machine takes things.
