Yep. Some progressives see a banker who's long been close to people in wealthy circles...

I see someone capable of using large amounts of money for good (a rare breed), and would strive to choose maximum benefit to society over maximum profit. These choices will hardly ever be clear, but for now, from his record, he has my trust and trust of Canadians writ large to do the best he can.

He's also very clearly not just a neoliberal central banker - the housing plan calls for a new government agency that actually produces homes which is like, radically not neoliberal "let the market work" type solutioning.
