But as long as the Liberals maintain the line that Trudeau is leading the party into the next election and Carney continues to present himself as an apolitical person then this is technically just the finance committee wanting to speak to an expert on the economy.

Norms are about the spirit of the law. Not the letter. Yes, technically it's just asking an expert to testify. But when they are crowing so publicly, we know they don't care about the technicality.

Whether he is it isn't is entirely irrelevant. Doesn't change the context of this game.
If this is the new norm so be it. Hopefully, they don't cry when it's their potential leader getting dragged in next. I just don't like what shit like this does to our democracy. This is the kind of gross gotchya games we see south of the border.
