Mark Carney’s second budget: A missed opportunity for Canada?

In this paid subscriber-only edition of The Roundtable , Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer dissect the Carney government’s second budget and the U.S. midterm elections. They examine Prime Minister Carney’s puzzling decision to leave the country immediately after the budget’s release, questioning whether his CEO-style governance prioritizes international summits over domestic policy. They also explore the budget’s lack of transformative vision, its return to traditional Liberal spending, and what the Democratic midterm landslide means for Canada’s rupture thesis and future trade negotiations with the United States.
