    Can’t believe a career Goldman Sachs bankster would do this.

    Beginning to suspect the Labour Party is something of a misnomer.

      There’s no Labour Party in Canada. Carney leads the Liberal Party.

          The Liberal Party is liberal in the traditional sense:

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism

          But the Conservative Party probably also qualifies as liberal in this sense.

          Some people, particularly many Americans, use the term “liberal” to mean left-wing or progressive. The Liberal Party of Canada is not really liberal in that sense, though they make smallish gestures towards social progressivism when it doesn’t impact capital.
