Publisher Rudyard Griffiths and editor-at-large Sean Speer discuss Prime Minister Carney’s tough week, starting with criticisms of his Trudeau-era cabinet appointments and then followed by communications missteps by key ministers. They also cover the high-spending Ontario budget and the extent to which it reflects a common tendency across Canadian governments to put off pro-growth reforms in favour of more deficits and debt.
