Mark Carney is the best Conservative Prime Minister Canada has had since Macdonald, and I do not mean that as a compliment. Of course, the Conservative PMs we have had are not a great lot in my view, particularly Diefenbaker, Mulroney, and Harper. Carney governs more like Harper or Mulroney than anyone, because he is

Democracies, we are told, are governed with the consent of the people who constitute the sovereign power in modern democracies. This is merely an illusion.
