I don’t think Carney was playing nice. He’s pragmatic. It is going to take a long time for Canada to shift off exporting to the US. May as well sell what we can until we have other markets. He’s just using Trump’s language to flatter him because, why not, it’s free, and often works. I don’t think Carney, or 90% of Canadians, believe our long term solution is to go back to the way things were with the US. That relationship is dead and gone.
He is really good at playing the “game” and right now it is easy because he opponents are idiots. You don’t lead two central banks without learning how to navigate through politics.
