The former central banker has been tasked with creating ‘new ideas’ on economic growth ‘building on’ what the Liberals have done to date – thus changing everything and nothing at the same time
that Mark Carney appointment about, anyway? The former Bank of Canada governor, it was announced recently, is to chair something called a Leader ’s Task Force on Economic Growth – reporting not to the Prime Minister , but to the Leader of the Liberal Party, whoever that is.
Perhaps you are wondering why Mr. Carney’s services are needed, if the economy is continuing to grow on the strong foundations of the Liberal plan.
It’s just that it had no clue what to do about it. So far as it gave the matter any thought, the answer it came up with was “innovation” . But it was no closer to knowing how to boost innovation, nor any idea of what it was for. Problem: how do you adopt these new policies without confessing your previous policies have failed? How do you impose these upon your existing Finance Minister, without making her look like a prat? And how do you do all this, without knowing whether anyone will buy it?
