I agree. I think it's a hedge that was calculated to give him room to let the LPC do its usual "run left, govern right" bullshit.
He knows full well that PR would diminish the power of the ruling party and force more coalition building (which the party obviously does not want), and it's historically been enough for the technocrats that it's their guy running the show 50% of the time.
Yep, that's right.
All the historical evidence points to Liberals not supporting proportional representation. Mark Carney is not marketing himself as anybody that is coming in to shake things up, and there is no reason to believe that he will bring in proportional representation.
And with Carney's suggestion to remove carbon pricing (against economists' strong recommendations), whose side is he really on? (I know carbon pricing is deeply unpopular, but the math works out).
