Well, yeah

There’s a persistent gap between what they say and what they do. The calibration and communication of expectations are ‘off.’ They have been talking the walk so hopefully the walk will catch up with the talk. Reality must match the rhetoric – and vice-versa.

they were too buys delivering a budget that they were forced into.. clown show.

The Federal Government of Canada hasn’t finished completing the twinning Trans Canada Highway project 🤷‍♂️… when did that start.

" ... he's not treating his entire government as a gigantic comms exercise aimed at below-average schoolchildren". Yes, Carney clears the spectacularly low bar set by his predecessor. But his performance doesn't come anywhere close to matching his hyperbole. That (and his dripping condescension & arrogance) is going to bite him.

High cost low expectations budget

The lie is that he has any clue how to speed things up. Without eliminating entire bureaucracies the same roadblocks exist

Except on défense

Maybe the debt default will really energize them

Infrastructure plans are concepts and moving at a snail's pace, not “Build at speeds not seen in generations.”

Because the goal of the Liberal party ain’t to solve problems, it’s to gain and retain power. If they solve problems they can’t campaign on them.

My bet is procrastination results from lack of credible due diligence! Carney’s got nothing that makes money to show. Private capital won’t invest where perpetual subsidies are required to keep going! That applies both to new and existing industries. We can’t get trade deals for things we already make - steel, aluminum, softwood lumber, canola, pork, seafood, yellow peas and autos assembled and parts! New mining/refining decades away! Nobody in the queue to buy EVs, batteries, GH2, green steel - all the Trudeau Liberals investments went bust. Carney still can’t name new ones - clock runs out at Grey Cup!

Well, let's be real. Going back 50 years, can you name a genuinely successful Cdn federal govt initiative? One that's delivered all that it promised and more, was completed on time and under budget, and is broadly viewed with pride across a significant spectrum of Canadian society? No. Ottawa has cultivated a culture of not just failure, but of determined non-completion, with great rewards offered and provided for accomplishing exactly that.

True, that said.. there's a great urgency to spend hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars ... They tell us it's good for us 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

There is no salvation from this level of decline when the same people that voted for it, pretend it’s not happening and continue to re-elect those causing it.

So in sci-fi space sim video game terms, it's: will the Carney government be like No Man's Sky or like Star Citizen?

I would suggest a lack of urgency is not the problem. Getting a budget passed first, is the first step. Do you really think the PM is going to share everything & alert Trump? #Strategic moves matter.

Do you think the fact that housing prices are dropping and in big cities other issues have arisen are reasons they are taking their foot off the gas? Less public pressure. Less urgency to spend billions.

If you are in Ottawa bubble or very close to it (like me) it can be quite shocking how governing Canada is taken lightly and unseriously here. This is the CFL and the NFL where the real stuff happens in Washington.

In an election it is better to say “all we promised is coming” rather than having their “good work” on display for everyone to see. When have Liberals delivered on anything other than cheque writing?

The revolution will be glacial?

Actual work would cut into their travel plans.

No urgency, or lack of momentum, usually means lack of consensus on how the benefits pie should be divided among the players, or the pie is not getting any larger.

Most have never started a company from scratch!!

60+ vote, 30 and under don’t.

I agree also.

If you believe that Carney is our salvation I’m afraid you will be disappointed

2 words: Infrastructure Bank

Waiting to see if Trump prevails over US Supreme Court wrt tariffs

And nobody on the conservative side is surprised by this. This is exactly what we were yelling at the top of our lungs before the previous election. Carney brought the circus to town and scammed 🇨🇦. As another famous carney, PT Barnum said, “There’s a sucker born every minute”

Maybe they know something we don't. Hint: it has to do with a certain Supreme Court case.

The 🇨🇦🪙has dropped from 73 cents to 71 because financial markets agree with you. Eliminating internal trade barriers has already been forgotten. Economic deadbeats like the Liberals have short attention spans.

Isn’t this just how the Liberals have governed for the last 11 years? Covid aside, the lack of urgency on everything else seems to be consistent.

The fact Carney hasn’t taken the easy wins and unequivocally eliminated the Emissions Cap, repealed Bills C48 and C69 and scrapped the Clean Fuels and Electricity Regs is showing Canadians he is not serious and is all talk. Building pipelines is a no brainer.
