When the Liberal party selected Mark Carney as its new leader (and our new prime minister), I thought it could get interesting. Carney was a well-respected, international bureaucrat. He was obviously comfortable in the rarified air of global hobnobbing.
But Carney was a political neophyte and politics is a retail business. Could a guy at ease attending cocktail parties be equally comfortable with farmers, welders and the people toiling at workstations far below the executive suite?
