The Spin

Left narrative

Carney is an outsider who offers Canada a fresh start. Having successfully managed multiple financial crises, he's a promising contender for Canada's economy. In addition, his international experience will help him deal with Trump's tariff threats, as well as global climate change initiatives.

Right narrative

Despite positioning himself as an outsider, Carney is deeply connected to the Liberal establishment as a longtime advisor to Trudeau's government. He supports controversial policies — including carbon pricing — and lacks the political experience needed to lead the country through its current challenges.
