A economist at a university in California, versus a letter from 40 economists, two of whom were presidents of the economics association here in Canada, who say literally the weight of the evidence is exactly the opposite as you're claiming.
40 politically motivated economists writing an open letter is not a survey of the profession or any valid representation of the state of the literature. All it says is there are 40 economists in Canada who happen to be ideologically left wing and some of them have senior posts. There are 15,000 economists in Canada: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/careers/career-advice/i-want-to-be-an-economist-what-will-my-salary-be/article19808798/. 40 is nothing.
