The Financial Post reports in its Wednesday edition that former Bank of Canada and Bank of England governor Mark Carney has taken aim at the Conservatives while laying out his priorities on how to secure future growth and productivity for the economy. The Post's Jordan Gowling quotes Mr. Carney saying on a podcast: "One of the things that has drawn me more into politics right now is we have an Opposition who is leading in the polls who doesn't understand the economy, doesn't understand where the world is going, doesn't understand what is necessary to build this economy for Canadians, and who thinks it's a series of simplistic slogans. There's nothing behind those slogans." Mr. Carney, who currently serves as UN special envoy on climate and finance as well as Brookfield chairman, was appointed by the Liberals last month to lead an economic task force and provide advice to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. While he provided no timeline on when he might run for political office, he did take aim at Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. "Pierre Poilievre, who has been a lifelong politician, talks about the market in a way and the economy in a way that portrays a very limited understanding about how the economy actually works."
