Prime Minister Mark Carney is not managing expectations.
That’s what most politicians do when leading a country, or a province, or any other jurisdiction where millions of people are watching for lofty promises to turn into results. You under-promise and over-deliver, you fudge the timelines, and you temper your language so that you’re not saying you will land a man on the moon before the decade is out, but rather, that your country should “commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth.”
