I find it interesting that Carney seems to be failing even on the one thing he was expected by the masses to succeed at because of his banking background: muh economy. I remember looking at his website before he became Prime Minister: the list of things he was campaigning on was purely economic (housing, etc.), excepting climate change, which was bolted on at the very bottom probably to appease certain types of Green Leftists.
In part, he ended up being praised by the Left precisely because he was an economist, and they laughably dumped all of their anti-capitalism to rally around him because, well, surely an economist would be better than Trump, who, after all, is not an economist.
Turns out that to simply elect a deeply capitalistic 'anti-Trump' out of Trump Derangement Syndrome was - big surprise - a poor idea. Yes, Trump did communicate an unusual expansionism at the time (we'll regain the Panama Canal, we'll get Greenland, etc.), but that has predictably totally died off while Canadians are stuck with the consequences of their irrational fears of what are ultimately Trump's unrealizable pipe dreams. (Not that the Conservatives were any better, since, for instance, a lesbian Jewess would have became Deputy Prime Minister.)
The instant I realised all the Lefty "socialists" were going to elect and arch-banker capitalist was when I realised there was no point in even trying to make Canada into a country.
