As the title says, you NEED to go read this guy’s book if you were ever unsure about who he is as a person and if he is progressive. I started reading this yesterday and am almost a third of the way through already. The way he explains markets and economics and how they can be utilized to fight climate change and our biggest issues is fascinating.
So far I can see that this man is legit and he wants to see Canada leading the world economically and morally. We have a golden opportunity here and any fiscal conservative should see this guy as the number one guy for the job. We had our time with Trudeau laying the foundation for a lot of social justice for the next quarter century, and now Carney is here to focus more on the economy and scale it to make us a global super power. Never before have I found economics so interesting and this book of his is really opening my eyes about the history and functions of markets.
Ok, off I go to continue!
Yes! This is what was so fascinating to me. He explains this very well and how we can make it profitable to advance our goals and be sustainable about it. Hence why he says that getting rid of the industrial carbon tax is a terrible idea because the EU requires it’s trading partners to have some kind of carbon price in place to avoid tariffs. Pierre and the other conservatives in this country are showing their true colours to how much they are posing as “economic” minds
Absolutely agree especially on the industrial carbon tax. I hope he slaps Polievre around with it during the debate, as not having one would yoke us even closer to the States as opposed to our friends in the EU. It’s typical Polievre sloganneering instead of actually thinking through the consequences.
Ouuuu that’s genius! He really should say that us cancelling the industrial pricing on carbon would make us closer to the USA. That would take wind out of his sails lol
I have to think that’s why Carney hasn’t brought it up yet. If I were managing his campaign, I would be so excited about the opportunity to let Canada watch him encounter the reality of his position live.
