The Liberals won the election on Carney’s promise to “win” the trade war with Trump. So now what?
OTTAWA — Mark Carney never promised he’d be easy to understand. It was more like the opposite. Near midnight the day before this spring’s federal election, the prime minister joked to a crowd of
Vancouver Islanders in sweaters and anoraks about how politicians who campaign in poetry tend to govern in prose. Ever the technocrat, Carney would go much further than that.
“Imagine,” he said with a grin. “I’m going to govern in econometrics.”
He’s taking us to China if he can get away with it.
