The more I read about his policies and views, the more I like him. He's way better than any other option I've seen for the liberals.

Have you seen any actual policy proposals? Did you tease out anything about attitude towards labour?

[–] Shadow 28 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (5 children)

No actual policy proposals, just going off his past record. I don't think he has a published plan at all yet, he did recently write a book about his views.

He supported occupy wall street which says a lot to me. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/bank-of-canada-head-calls-occupy-protests-entirely-constructive/article4182646/

And he's hard core pro climate, where he thinks it makes financial sense too. https://calgaryherald.com/opinion/columnists/braid-mark-carney-is-a-climate-zealot-who-wont-back-off-trudeau-climate-agenda

The views section here is pretty good too. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Carney

He's an Economist who's run the central bank of what, 3 countries? Makes sense to me if his entire focus was long term stability that he'd be anti inequality and climate change.

Really looking forward to everyone dropping platforms.

Edit: Carney has a book Value(s): Building a Better World for All, might be worth looking at, probably going to give good insight into his views.

Economist need not be lesse faire or free market capitalist

Most of the ones in the media just focus on market efficiency though
