Carney will conventionally do the most conventional thing that can be justified by conventional economics, as is his passion. It will not solve our problems. Neither will it lead to an "even more rabid" future Conservative party, if he somehow does keep them out of power this time. The party and the people will have seen rabid populist wreck-everything politics fail to win an election in Canada and bring the USA to ruin. They are likely to want to try something else.
Well, yea, I mean that's the whole point of the article.
Now one might agree or disagree with the claim of an "even more rabid conservative party", but recent experience kind of validates that, right? Biden was a parenthesis in between two fascist waves, and similarly Draghi (someone exceptionally similar to Carney) was a parenthesis between the 5SM and Meloni. Elsewhere in Europe, too, centrists like Macron or Starmer of Scholz have not addressed the underlying issues that bolster the far right and seem to just be only helping to move the Overton Window so that they end up being "the left".
