As Prime Minister Mark Carney presumably works to improve his French over the next month, he might soon discover the meaning of the proverb “en avril ne te découvre pas d’un fil.” Literally: in April, don’t remove even a thread (of clothing); figuratively: be cautious of premature optimism.
Carney is accustomed to managing risk, yet in Quebec, he’s perilously close to turning his greatest asset — goodwill — into his Achilles heel.
