Is it true that UK is breaking?

I don't quite understand, Scotland and Wales already aren't part of the common market. By seceding from the UK, they might actually have an easier time joining the common market and strengthening the EU, which is the real unified power block.

Forward Guidance: A Stronger Canada

It's interesting to me that his team titled the video "Forward Guidance," because it's the same phrasing central banks use. Central banks tend to put out forward guidance on rate policy every quarter in a similar way. Carney is very much a central banker, even now as PM.

Corporate watchdog was still accepting complaints as Carney abruptly closed it down

I think it might be a deeper cultural problem than that. I suspect Carney appeals to more Canadians specifically because he is more neoliberal and closer to the Conservatives than his predecessor. Just assuming that people only like him because of Pollievre is, in my opinion, a bit dangerous because it glosses over the need for deeper cultural change.

Broadly speaking, we live in a democracy with a strong 4th estate, so Carney's support speaks to the ideals of many Canadians. And THAT is the problem.
