There’s an old, satirical saying that goes, ‘The king can do no wrong. He can only be led astray by his counsellors.’ Well, I wouldn’t go so far as to say that Prime Minister Mark Carney can do no wrong on his own, but I think his counsellors are giving him particularly bad advice right now.
I say that because Carney’s much-heralded speech in Davos, as well as his recent headline-making trips to China and Qatar, bear the fingerprints of our echo-chambered elite.
