I have deep doubts that the majority of that gold ended up in Fort Knox. .. ... Mar a Lago, most likely..I think I'd be putting another little padlock on the door to Fort Knox
There is a lot to be regarded about Carney, mostly because he is a skeptic of Right WIng ideology, and understands first hand the immense damage it can do. When Britain was in the grip of Right Wing Conservative ideology , to the extent that a lot of that poor befuddled nation lost a large percentage of it's collective marbles and voted to exit the EU, Carney was right there, batting his hardest to point out the terrible consequences that he said would follow, and guess what? those consequences are following, every day,. all day for Britain and will for decades to come. .
Trump barreled through many of his previous picks. Do you think his current choices will have better longevity than prior administration.
Whether or not it's Trump's plan or not, large portions of it have already been implemented and he's okay with it. So whether it's Trump's plan or not, how do you feel about a group of people who've had this on the backburner for years and have found someone who will go along with the program. Either you like it, are alarmed by it, haven't read it, or you think it's not all doom and gloom.
He isn't the first prime minister who was unelected and probably won't be the last.More from the UK on Carney -
Carney is as much a citizen of nowhere as Ignatieff. He worked in high finance around the world for Goldman, a widely disliked firm. Carney was headhunted by Trudeau’s predecessor Stephen Harper as governor of Canada’s central bank, where he did not distinguish himself. Rumours even then circulated that he wanted to enter politics and to be the chief minister.
Carney was headhunted again as governor of the Bank of England. It caused controversy in both Canada and in Britain when he accepted the job, which he held through years of poor economic performance, and bad monetary policy, for which it seems he was significantly responsible.
When Carney grew tired of Britain, he swanned off to the UN in New York, working on ‘projects’, burnishing his credentials. A centrepiece of his CV has been the green stuff he has meddled in and his various campaigns for international power and influence.
Carney may criticise the economic policies of the Trudeau period – with falling per capita growth, a massive surge in migration, unjustifiable deficit spending – but Carney was one of Trudeau’s most important outside advisers. When Trudeau’s finance minister and deputy prime minister Crystia Freeland resigned last year and brought Trudeau down, it was Carney that Trudeau was openly threatening to replace her with.
It was a matter of time before Carney decided the moment was ripe to make a bid for power. He is one of the most transparently ambitious men in the English-speaking world. And now he has achieved it. Unelected by anyone except the Canadian Liberal party membership (Carney is not even a member of parliament), he has but a short time before an inevitable election to claim that he is different from the previous guy, his close friend, who ruled Canada with Carney’s sometime help and advice for almost a decade.

Oh, I thought it was something completely different. And illegal.I guess a good number of people may have needed "dog act" explained to them, even our NZ friends/cousins.
The Guardian did an article about it.
An Australian politician called Trump’s tariffs a ‘dog act’ – but what does it mean and how offensive is it?
Although the phrase features the word “dog”, it has nothing to do with the humble canine. Where dogs are loyal, kind and submissive (yes, I’m a proud labrador owner, what of it), a “dog act” is treacherous, cowardly and unacceptable.
That’s according to Oxford University Press, which named “dog act” its word of the month for September back in 2018.
A “dog act” questions someone’s integrity. It’s an act of betrayal.
Although the phrase is now a common insult in Australian vernacular, it doesn’t have a long history, with OUP finding the first evidence of the term being used in a Daily Telegraph article in 2003.
The Spectator could hardly be called the UK .. it's read by a very narrow group of readers,. It is, for all purposes the print edition of the narrowest band of the UK Conservative party, a political party currently well and truly out of office and likely to be so for the foreseeable future, due to its utter inability to govern in any coherent manner.More from the UK on Carney -

It would not surprise me if parts of 2025 overlapped President Trump’s plan after all it’s 900 or so pages long with conservative viewpoints. Trump ran on Agenda 47, which was out there for all to see. I am not surprised by anything that has been implemented, it was never a big secret. imo
I suspect those voters believed their own PR... Americans are awfully good at forgetting their failures, like Ol Ho Chi Minh, and Saddam, and the Taliban, Kosovo, Bosnia, and Black Hawk Down and all those inconvenient embarrassments.... maybe they can't believe that other nations simply flick the USA off with nary a sleepless night, because they remember in technicolour the helicopters trying to launch off the Embassy roof, ( the Ambassadors dog got a seat in the helicopter, the staff, not so lucky ) in Saigon, the jeeps and planes being shoved off the ships,.. anything to get away.. the disorderly retreat from Afghanistan, and so on, and so on...
"If I only had a brain. . . " la la la.
We might be lucky enough to be on that list, SouthA... .. what a privilege !! what an honor!!
Dearl old VANUATU is on that list, I'll bet my silk top hat that neither Trump. nor little Marco have the faintest idea where Vanuatu is , or even what it is....
