In his recent #ForwardGuidance video, PM #MarkCarney shows us a figurine of Sir Isaac Brock, which he says was given to him by Mike Myers. Do you really think Mike Myers gave him that figurine?

I finally watched the first episode of #ForwardGuidance, PM #MarkCarney's new podcast.

I was quite pleased overall: it's good to hear the government focusing on infrastructure, housing construction, military spending and tax cuts. And it's a delight to be reminded of Canada's history and some of the lessons it can teach us.

I have three major criticisms, which I'll make in my next posts.

#TashaKheiriddin has a theory of the first episode of the #ForwardGuidance podcast: PM #MarkCarney is preparing Canadians for the failure of #CUSMA negotiations

Could be; it would be a wise thing to do. Failure would be bad for us, but it's certainly possible.

"When asked last week whether the U.S. may extend CUSMA, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick responded only that “Trump thinks it’s a bad deal.”"

During my time as Governor of the Bank of Canada, I developed a practice to assure people that no matter how challenging the situation seemed, we had a plan and we would act on it until our problems were solved.

I called it forward guidance, and the situation we find ourselves in today demands the same.

Here’s how I see things.
