Crown and defence suggested this was a case of a vigilante upset about rural crime, but the reality is much stranger.

This is disgusting behaviour from Carney towards Karina Gould.

And frankly, coupled with the “boys club” stuff sources have previously told me and the way he tended to lose patience more quickly with female journalists during the campaign…he may need to “look inside himself.”

MACLEAN'S excerpt:

The attacks were genteel compared to most political mud-slinging, and Liberals warmed to her during the campaign. They embraced her as both a cherished member of the
Liberal family and, increasingly, the standard bearer for its left flank. But her needling got under Carney's skin, even though he was the front-runner (she ultimately received only three per cent of the vote). He and his staff made their irritation plain; one member of Gould's team told me that many of them were aggressive in their vitriol toward her.

MACLEAN'S excerpt continued:

“When someone from Gould's team texted to ask if she could stop by and congratulate the winner, Carney said no. In fact, according to one source I spoke with, he said he didn't ever want to see her again. Carney's staff sent Gould a non-committal answer, trying not to offend her, but she showed up anyway. That led to a brief, awkward meeting with Carney.
The incident rattled some of the people around the newly elected leader. Many had worked under Justin Trudeau, who, after a lifetime in politics, had skin like a crocodile.
Carney, after years of being celebrated, venerated and treated with the deference accorded to a titan of the financial world, seems to have a skin like a peach.”
