I have a new piece out for the Toronto Star today on how the Carney Liberals ran on public investment and nation-building and have swung immediately to the right. Among other things, Canada may soon experience the most sweeping austerity program it's seen in decades. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
Mark Carney won on a promise of strong but fair Canada. This is how he is betraying that vision
The Carney government is repeating the mistakes of Paul Martin and Stephen Harper.
