Re: Harper corrects Carney Conservatives, as per usual, cannot resist overstating their case. They should have kept the focus of their attacks against Mark Carney, on the Brookfield story. By pulling former Prime Minister Harper into it, they have now created fertile ground for the Liberals to say that Harper was actively trying to recruit Carney as Finance Minister in 2012, something which Harperhas never denied.If Carney is exaggerating his well-documented accomplishments in helping Canada emerge from the 2008 worldwide financial crisis (as per Harper’s recent claim,) in both better shape and earlier than any other G7 economy, then why did Harper not only want Carney to succeed the late Jim Flaherty as Finance Minister, but also originally appoint Carney to head the Bank of Canada?Carney’s accomplishments during the 2008 worldwide financial crisis, were clearly self-evident enough for the British government to appoint him in 2013 to head the Bank of England.Jake RedshieldCalgary, Alberta
