Economic advisor?!

Sure, great idea, if you want advice on how to ruin your economy and beggar its citizens, hire Chrystia Freeland.  She's an expert.  Apparently, she told Carney about her appointment to the Ukraine position on December 24th, but they both agreed to keep it a secret so they could shovel another $2.5 billion over to Ukraine.

It would have been kept secret, except for the unfortunate tweet Zelensky put out announcing Freeland's new job.  Oops!  But by then, they had already handed Zelensky the dough -- ostensibly for the war effort, but probably a lot of it to fill his personal, already-overflowing coffers.  I mean, what's another yacht or two.

The woman is shameless.  How could she be serving her constituents, while being deputy prime minister and finance minister.  Then she was appointed some sort of advisor to the re-building of Ukraine, which can't be done while Putin is still bombing the sh-t out of it, and after that, Warden and CEO of The Rhodes Trust -- the latter a job based in London!  

I'll bet the Rhodes regrets appointing her because she will tarnish their hitherto hallowed reputation with her money-grubbing ways. 

She has publicly stated that the Ukrainian cause has been her primary focus all her life, so I guess she's right where she belongs.

All I can say is, ta-ta and good riddance!  

There she goes!

So, now Carney is off to China for four days of "talks".  Four days!  Gee, I wonder if those chats will benefit Brookfield?  Rhetorical.  I mean how long can you talk about anything at that level?  I think they should announce that Carney will be visiting Canada for two days, because he certainly isn't acting as prime minister.  He pops in, in between trips and visits home to New York, where he, his wife and family actually live.

And how many deals has he secured?  Exactly.  

So many people drank his Koolaid.  I hope they mightily regret it now.
