Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper ripped Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney for taking credit for Canada’s economic recovery during the Great Recession.
In an email to Conservative party members, Harper claimed that Carney was not involved in the day-to-day management of the Canadian economy in his job as the former governor of the Bank of Canada.
“Carney’s experience is NOT the day-to-day management of Canada’s economy during the global financial crisis. I have listened, with increasing disbelief, to Mark Carney’s attempts to take credit for things he had little or nothing to do with back then,” said Harper.
