This is super depressing. I did not expect a lot from Carney but I hoped he won't be as bad on labour since that contradicts his growth plans. Without strong labour the benefits won't trickle down and we'd find ourselves in another confidence crisis as prices won't stop rising. PP will appear vindicated and he'll campaign on "I told you the banker is a fake"

Skippy pretending to care about worker's rights. That'll be... fun. I imagine the Manning Centre's PR machine working overtime on another makeover right now. Brainstorming, "what do workers look like" and next time he steps out it'll be in overalls and a big straw hat, or an old school rail porter's uniform. It'll be up there with Harper's weird cowboy leather daddy moment.

It is depressing. Thinking about Carney's Davos speech where he referenced Havel's Power of the Powerless, taking the "workers of the world unite" sign out of the window. I didn't think he meant it literally.

This is a 22 Minutes episode right there.
