I don’t know what his history as a Central Banker would suggest. People in England seem to think he was a disaster there.

"Socialism is when the government does stuff I don't like (carbon tax, child care subsidies, urban transit projects, and pharmacare) and Capitalism is when the government does stuff I like (tax breaks for corporations, federal subsidies for pipelines and O&G production, highway and rail projects)."
- You, probably.
If you are the type of person who can look at someone that was:
- The governor of two western central banks
- Who earned his Ph.D. in Economics at Oxford, studied under Margaret Meyer, and wrote his Ph.D. thesis on "The dynamic advantage of competition" (thanks wikipedia!)
- Who worked for Goldman Sachs
- Who worked for Brookfield Asset Management
And conclude that this guy is a socialist, then I don't think there is anything anyone could say that could change your mind on anything, you're just not that type of person.
What I can say is that if Carney was going to enter politics pre-MAGA era, conservatives would be on their hands and knees begging for him to take the helm. Carney is as neoliberal as they come, and we should be so blessed to have someone focused on the meat and potatoes of economic growth, global trade, and political/economic stability during the current crisis as opposed to a maple-MAGA smooth-brained career politician whose only tangible skill is coming up with one-line political slogans aimed at appeasing the easily-impressed, low information voters in the country.
