Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may have cancelled his end-of-year interviews as he reflects on his future, but thankfully Canadians have had Mark Carney to lecture them on Liberal values.

In an op-ed for the Globe and Mail, Carney, the former governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, sounded like a man who is running for the Liberal leadership.

“We are at a hinge moment in our history,” he warned, before launching into the usual Liberal talking points: Donald Trump is a major threat; be careful of just wanting “change” during a federal election; we are stronger together; let’s build more; let’s roll up our sleeves; and let’s bring home the Stanley Cup.
