    Carney is restrained by the decision space he has to work within. When this kicked off, Carney looked to the UK and to Europe for support. The UK and Europe have both caved. Also, look at what’s happening in Alberta. The US has a long history of executing regime change in democratic allies by fomenting internal conflict. I have no doubt Carney is feeling the pressure from that as well. The reality is simply that Canada is pretty stuck. Carney’s government has at least made moves to diversify, but he’s leading a country without anyone to turn to for help, with an information and media system that’s basically controlled by US entities, and that’s under threat of serious disruption to internal stability by a country known for regime change efforts.

    To my eyes, he’s pretty screwed.
