Grown Ups


Congratulations to Mark Carney for a historic win in the parliamentary elections in Canada. It's a country I have a great fondness for and have visited many times, I used to work for a Canadian company based in Ottawa and it was the longest tenure I ever had with any company, nice place, nice people. I remember when Carney was the Governor of the Bank of England he seemed like the only grown up in a political landscape blighted by man-children like Boris, if he could have run for Prime Minister of this country at the time I suspect he'd have won easily. I'm hoping that Carney will continue his current resolute battle against that other great "man-child" of our age, Trump, the idea that Canada should become part of the USA is beyond the pale, a reason for Europeans to distrust America even more.
