Then, when Harper suddenly put on his cheerleading suit, I guess Carney felt it was safe to speak the truth. Nothing like distancing himself from the sinking ship, I guess.burlivespipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18048415779214466831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-18012923801628761002009-03-15T09:06:00.000-04:002009-03-15T09:06:00.000-04:00This probably isn't realistic, but I wonder if Car...This probably isn't realistic, but I wonder if Carney was being overly optimistic, to instill some confidence.

He's become the Baghdad Bob of economic prognosticators. Maybe he's still buying advice from Cramer, but should be getting advice from Kramer.burlivespipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18048415779214466831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-23693250904017356592009-03-14T20:45:00.000-04:002009-03-14T20:45:00.000-04:00I am amazed Mr. Carney made those statements to be...I am amazed Mr. Carney made those statements to begin with.<BR/><BR/>It does not take a Calgary School trained economist to realize that this recession is going to be a long and nasty one.<BR/><BR/>It warms my heart a great deal to know we have someone with Mr. Carney's intelligence and ability taking care of Canada's monetary policy.<BR/><BR/>Yikes!!ottlibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12695135535019042279noreply@blogger.com
