A government with no priorities, no anchors, and when it comes to growth, no clue
In his post-budget analysis, Globe and Mail columnist Andrew Coyne writes that it remains unclear whether the government is unaware of how badly Canada’s economy has actually been performing, or whether it does not care, or whether it just does not know what to do about it. “Possibly, it is a little of all three.
But faced with what is now generally conceded to be a growth crisis – an economy that, in per capita terms, has been shrinking for several quarters, stagnating for several years, and losing ground to other developed economies for several decades – the government has produced yet another budget with no serious proposals to address it.”
