Can we agree than there should be some kind of compromise? Maybe not prioritize counting beans over everything else?

We're seriously lagging behind as China is ahead of the curve with green technology, mass transit, reducing their carbon footprint by planting trees, etc.

Sure.

Yes, and how did China power the rise of its manufacturing industry and consequent rise of its green technology manufacturing industry? By burning massive amounts of coal and oil and gas while focusing on economic growth. How did China build huge amounts of Mass Transit and infrastructure projects? By steamrolling over local resident and environmental concerns to build the projects in the name of the greater good of the country.

No one is perfect, but I do know that your characterizations of Carney are, at minimum, wildly over confident given the available information, if not also wildly inaccurate.
