The problem with Liberal saviourhood is that they need a new one every once in a while, when the old saviour starts looking a bit worn and the miracles quit coming
. When followers stop trusting to blind faith and start asking awkward questions. Like, “How could you hand a billion-dollar contract to a couple of guys who were sending cheques to your mother and brother?”
So a new saviour is needed, and … cue the incense … along comes Mark Carney, just the sort of figure to get Liberal juices flowing. Ooooh, his resume. Aaaah his stature. He’s still young enough to appeal but old enough to carry a certain air of gravitas. If Trudeau, even in his beard, still has something of the air of the high school valedictorian, Carney could be the sagacious principal who keeps the kids in line while earning their respect.
Courting Carney is a more promising route. He’s headed not one but two central banks, including the prestigious Bank of England. Success overseas always awakens Liberal admiration. He’s known to be ambitious, and apparently Liberal. He seems to want to run. He’s back in the country, has a cool job with the same international do-gooder organization that recently spurned Trudeau’s advances, has serious academic cred and impressive private sector experience.
