Mark's Big Idea

Digital currencies, carbon taxes, ESG mandates, emergency powers — Mark Carney’s policy record has a pattern. Every proposal points in the same direction: more regulation, more limitations, more control. The question is whether he knows it.

• Each of Carney’s signature policies reduces individual consent in its own way
• The common thread runs from central banking to climate policy to civil liberties
• Tested against the principle that consent, not control, should be the goal

When every solution a leader proposes requires taking something away from you, the Big Idea isn’t hard to find.
