"...Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney tried to calm everyone's nerves by declaring that gold 'has no role to play in the international monetary system.'"

Globe and Mail, November 12, 2010

Carney did not calm the nerves of Hans Merkelbach, investor, advisor, investor advocate, and watch dog of money manipulators, who wrote to the central banker from his office on Bowen Island, British Columbia. After quoting the above, Merkelbach rebuked Carney:

"Let's get real! Would you explain to me why you, the ex-Goldman Sachs partner, besides having a warped idea of monetary matters, made such a ridiculous statement? The houses of cards are falling all around you, dear sir, but I guess it is hard to notice the bloody monetary mess from the ivory tower."

Carney, no fool, but offensively patronizing, replied: "I said in a recent speech...that it is the adjustment mechanism rather than the choice of reserve asset that ultimately matters."
