Unpacking claims that Canadian PM Mark Carney orchestrated a US Treasurys sell-off
www.snopes.com
The allegation came from a staunch supporter of Carney in Canada's upcoming federal election; Snopes contacted him and Carney for clarification.

C’mon guys this is such an easy win for us as a country. Justin went a little too far with his style of governing for a lot of you and now the liberals have voted this guy to be it’s leader and new PM. This is who we want to lead us into the second half of the 20th century, this guy is so fucking smart. Pierre just sings slogans and simple pretty things that sound nice but in reality he’s just going to sell us off to American interests and cut the things that help working people.

      “this is the man that we want leading us into the second half of the 20th century”

      But we’re not in the 20th century and we’re only just crossing into the second quarter.

      Clearly we made a wrong turn and should start heading back towards 1999 as quickly as possible.

        So Carney is going to be around for another 25 years until the second half of the 21st century, lol clearly?

          It’s 2025. Letting the foundation now would indeed set us up to be ready by 2050 and beyond…
