Honestly, like, all through the election campaign and the last year, Liberal supporters have been crowing about how uniquely suited to this moment Carney is, how brilliant a tactician he is.

Now it’s becoming clear to them that the critics, who correctly clocked him as a ruthless capitalist who doesn’t care about the public he’s supposed to be serving, were right all along.

So the excuses start flying. I’ve heard some version of “Carney just needs more experience” at least a dozen times in the last couple days.

This is a serious moment, not a time for excuses. If he’s not up to the job, then demand his replacement.
