He's running for the leadership of the Conservative Party in Canada. He's leading. I hope he loses some support after this fiasco.

to fire the governor of the Bank of Canada (equivalent to the Fed). I wonder how he will explain it to his fans in Halifax today.

fire the Governor of the Bank of Canada this week.
