  • Vote! Vote! Vote! Vote! Get out there and vote when the time comes! You can even register right at the polling station if you need to.

    • The election hasn't been called yet, but yes. 😂 The first hurdle is the leadership vote. The registration for voting in it has already closed.

  • I watched the interview with him on The Rest is Politics today and I heard something interesting from him. They asked him to picture himself in 2028 as the PM of Canada and say what he sees around him. He said a few things and one of them was "I see we have full employment." I'm not going to explain at length what that means but it's a very specific economic term that is in contradiction with neoclassical/neoliberal economic thought and free market fundamentalism.

    • Carney is very much a Keynesian, so that's totally on brand for him. People hear the word "economist" and think we'd have Bain Capital as PM, but he's really quite left-wing.

    • I see it's an hour long, is it worth the watch?

      • If you haven't seen many interviews with him, I think so. If you've watched other interviews, perhaps less so. In general if you're interested, give it a look, bail if bored or keep hearing things you know. For me this bit I mentioned was the only surprising thing I heard and it came all the way at the end.

  • I'm looking forward to voting Carney in the leadership race. 👍🇨🇦

    • Same. I was initially considering Gould first, Carney second since it's ranked ballot, but not anymore.

      • I like her a lot as well and suspect she will have a prominent place in the next government.
