Well said, (in response to this imbecile).

This is the usual fairy tale: “He just demands excellence.”

No. That is the campus-club version of the story.

The real issue is that Canadians were sold “competence” while the ideology was kept in the basement like a leaky water heater. Nobody voted for a PM because they had carefully read Values and said, “Yes, please, give me more top-down managerial climate-finance social engineering.” Most voters just heard “central banker” and assumed adult supervision had finally entered the building.

But Carney’s worldview was never hidden from anyone willing to look. His book is not a resume. It is a manifesto. Even friendly summaries describe it as an argument for major structural change, built around sustainability, fairness, solidarity, and reshaping markets around political values.

And let’s stop pretending he arrived yesterday with clean hands and a hard hat. He formally joined the Liberals as a special economic adviser in 2024, after years of being treated as the party’s economic brain trust since 2020. The country did not slide into weak productivity, unaffordable housing, stagnant living standards, and investment flight because nobody smart was nearby. The smart people were very nearby. That is the problem.

Running a “tight ship” is not impressive when the ship is pointed at the rocks. A strong captain with a bad map is not leadership. It is just confidence with better tailoring.

Carney is not demanding excellence. He is demanding compliance with an ideology most Canadians never knowingly endorsed. That is not courage. That is technocratic bait-and-switch with a nice suit.
