certainly plenty of posts expressing lack of confidence in poloz. made a couple such posts myself. what has thus far failed to be mentioned is this: poloz has virtually boxed himself in a corner on potential rate increases in the short run. NO central banker in their right mind ought to do such a thing. things can change very quickly, as they have recently, and i'm not sure he could explain reversing direction no matter what the reason. a new governor is the only way to save face for the BOC to alter its course. not sure if he can be fired mid term by the new gov't and, if not, god help us. only other solution is for him to resign....
