James Bond and Miss Moneypenny have a new mission: cleaning up the City. The cover story for the new Governor of the Bank of England is that he´s ¨Mark Carney¨ from the Bank of Canada. But judge for yourself.

Carney definitely reminds me of some movie actor, but I don’t think it’s Sean Connery. Maybe Robert Wagner? Harrison Ford? Something about the slant to his upper lip is vaguely familiar.

I think it would be neat if there were a Bond where all the villains were British, and the whole thing could be based on detection of faked accents, though as an American it would go entirely over my head. I can’t tell an Aussie from an English person, I just love accents.

Further support to your claim that “Mark Carney” is an undercover spy is that the favourite for the next governor of the Bank of Canada looks much nerdier, as a bureaucrat should: http://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/userphoto/tiff-macklem.jpg

Never mind Sean Connery, has anybody ever seen Carney and Robbie Williams in the same room?
