The Spin


Left narrative

The new government brings needed economic expertise and international experience at a critical time. Carney's background as former governor of both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England positions him uniquely to handle trade tensions and protect Canadian sovereignty.


Right narrative

Carney represents more of the same Liberal policies that have led to increased cost of living and housing prices. With 87% of his cabinet ministers being former Trudeau ministers, Carney suggests no real change for Canadians struggling with affordability.
