Mark Carney, having been a neoliberal banker all his life, turns out to be a neoliberal banker. At the last election the looming threat of the far right drove Canada back into the arms of the moneyed owners. It’s sad to see the country taking this lurch to the right. I hope the NDP can get its act together and be an unashamed left party. If it picks a dynamic, genuine leader who can talk directly about things that matter to people, it can make a comeback like the Green Party looks set to do in the UK, now that their new leader is explicitly calling it a socialist party.
