John Ivison: Carney’s many promises confront reality as House returns
Canadians are grappling with “more intense political challenges than [they have] for many years,” as Prime Minister Mark Carney prepares an “austerity and investment” budget expected to carry a “substantial” deficit, writes John Ivison. While polls show even some Conservatives are giving Carney the benefit of the doubt just five months into his term, he warns that “if Carney fails to provide Canadians with regular progress reports, the criticism that he has overpromised and underdelivered will start to stick.”
