Carney leverages private-sector experience against Poilievre
We’re getting a clearer sense of how Carney wants to attack Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre ahead of an election. In Carney’s words, he understands the private sector — and Poilievre does not.
“[Poilievre] just doesn’t get it,” Carney said in his speech. “He’s that type of lifelong politician — and I have seen them around the world — who worships at the altar of the free market, despite never having made a payroll.”
“Unlike Pierre Poilievre, I have actually worked in the private sector. I know how the world works, and how it can be made to work better for us.”
Poilievre was first elected in 2004 as one the youngest MPs in the House of Commons. He represents the Ottawa-area riding now called Carleton.
