Letter: The Carney coronation — what now?
Letter to the editor. FILE

Dear editor:

So Canada has a new prime minister — and Canadians barely know him. Unelected, out of Canada for most of his adult life — what do we expect? What CAN we expect?
A prime minister is responsible for far, far more than the economy — for which he has a finance minister, by the way.
The current government has 39 cabinet positions with diverse portfolios ranging from defence to fishing, agriculture, veterans affairs, health care, education and dozens of others.
Think about it.
What experience does Mark Carney have in any of these areas? What knowledge does he have in politics that might give him even a general understanding?
In fact, at age 59, Carney has shown little desire to break out of the constraints of his resume. That is of course, aside from leveraging his economic bona fides into the fading world of Net Zero.
With so much damage to undo — damage inflicted by the government he now leads — Canada needs a fresh vision and an inspiring communicator who can bring competence back to government and investment and optimism back to the country.
Given the admitted elitist, globalist lens through which he views the world, it appears he is capable of neither.
Put it all together and Mark Carney has no choice but to fall back on the same gang of rogues and ideologues that spiralled Canada into fiscal oblivion and social turmoil.
An election is on the way. Make an informed decision.
