Carney is a CBDC man. According to his book, CBDCs are the future of money.
CBDCs are akin to programmable surveillance money and a precursor to a social credit scoring system. The most widely used CBDC today is China's digital Yuan.
CBDCs are a perfect control mechanism during times of crisis "for your safety". But only temporarily, until the crisis is over.
In the hands of people seeking control, CBDCs give a little too much control. Think limits on your fuel and red meat purchases. Because climate crisis. But only until it's over.
Take it from the big man himself, Agustin Carstens of the BIS: “We don’t know who’s using a $100 bill today and we don’t know who’s using a 1,000 peso bill today. The key difference with the CBDC is the central bank will have absolute control.."
Carney is cut from the same cloth and doesn't like Bitcoin any more than his friend and fellow globalist central banker Christine Lagarde of "If there's an escape, that escape will be used," fame.
Meanwhile Lagarde and the ECB are working hard on a CBDC for Europe.
Poilievre understands Bitcoin, the real cause of inflation and has vowed to ban CBDCs.

Carney also argued that governments should pandemic style power to manage climate change. The guy is dangerous.
I do think he is really ahead just not as far ahead as polls and media suggest. Boomers are big scared of Trump and they think Carney's experience will save them. Boomers get out and vote. As for the gains from NDP voters. I don't think NDP voters are that motivated to vote for a banker. I could see those gains dwindling as many who say they will vote liberal just stay home.

I think the polls and prediction markets can be easily manipulated, specifically prediction markets for Canada having significantly less volume than the USA election.
I think narrative manipulators learnt the lesson with trump that you need prediction markets to reflect polling if you want to frame a narrative.
IMO the more Carney speaks and reveals, the more he hurts himself.
He’s already lost some credibility and resembles a lot of Trudeauisms around scandals like the Lib MP who advocated to turn a conservative over to China and libs planting trump signs or whatever at a conservative rally. Not to mention Carney goes to AB and supports pipeline projects but then a week later speaks in Quebec and says no more pipelines lol.
He is the exact same policy as Trudeau and the last 10 years of woke BS that hollowed out the country.
Honestly remarkable how the media’s been able to brand him as a change agent lol
