> Mark Carney steps into an unprecedented moment

Allow me to be obtuse, and correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't every moment unprecedented? Like, isn't that how time works?

Certainly the press' use of unprecedented has precedent.

Some things are more predictable than others. The current situation between the USA and Canada lies on the improbable side of the spectrum.

Yeah, but I said "allow me to be obtuse" ;)
