"Despite the UN efforts, Iranโ€™s nuclear threat remains. And now the US & Israel acted without engaging the UN or consulting allies, including Canada. We condemn the strikes carried out by Iran on civilians and civilian infrastructure across the Middle East. And we implore all parties, including the US & Israel, to respect the rules of international engagement."

That led to him recounting to the crowd a central bank war story about one dinner he attended in Europe with a group of other central bankers just two weeks on the job in 2008 as a Wall Street investment bank was collapsing.

Hosted by Jean-Claude Trichet, former president of the European Central Bank, Carney recalled how the group had roughly an hour-and-a-half to decide what to do before the stock markets in Asia opened.

โ€œFlooding the system with liquidity or shutting certain things down, etcetera. Itโ€™s pretty complex,โ€ he recalls.

Carney grew animated as he told the crowd about the former European central bank chair spending the next ten minutes going through the wine list. As he did, the prime minister playfully gestured to his watch, as the crowd laughs. โ€œTick, tick, tick.โ€

โ€œAnd heโ€™s like, โ€˜Well, have this one, but you know, the pinot grisโ€™ โ€” and Iโ€™m like f-ck,โ€ says Carney.

โ€œAn hour later, all I remember is โ€” Iโ€™m like, how the wine is fantastic,โ€ he said, more laughs.

โ€œThe central bankers have a lot more fun,โ€ Carney concluded.
