NOT the same thing The number of people commenting on the Liberal leadership race who do NOT know the difference between monetary and fiscal policy is astounding. Mark Carney as central bank governor was responsible for monetary policy - ie interest rates, which entails relying primarily on data driven economic modelling vs Prime Minister who is responsible for fiscal policy (spending, taxation, immigration level and every government decision) Experience in one does not equate to experience in the other. Can you imagine if Justin Trudeau as Governor of the Bank of Canada or Donald Trump the Federal Reserve?

Just remember the current carbon tax is a 100% tariff on the energy you consume and the Liberals are increasing that 20% in April. The same government wants the 25% US tariffs as an election campaign issue (Orange Man Bad) to avoid running on their record.
