Remember when the Liberal Party of Canada loathed bankers? And bankers like Mark Carney thought politicians were “circus clowns”? Liberals don’t. They just elected Canada’s most famous banker, Mr. Carney, as their party’s Leader and now Prime Minister.
Mr. Carney did not just head two central banks. Before that he had proved himself as an investment banker toiling for 13 years at the golden temple of global investment banking, Wall Street’s Goldman Sachs, a bank known for its “extreme profitability and market prowess.” He parleyed that into success at the Bank of Canada and later, at the Bank of England, cutting the most unique path to Prime Minister in Canada’s history.
