Kelly McParland: Carney’s agenda stopped dead by industries addicted to Ottawa’s largess

Prime Minister Mark Carney spent part of this month on a less-hectic work schedule. He was even spotted walking along a street in Ottawa with his wife, just like a normal human being. After months of intense activity he presumably saw a need to pause, assess progress and reflect on the past year. His conclusion may well have been: what was I thinking?

The message of his new non-Trudeau government was one of action: it was time to move fast, do big things and revitalize the country. Six months in, he’s already being criticized for failing to deliver. We still have tariffs! U.S. President Donald Trump’s still harassing us! Houses still cost too much! Where’s the new pipeline and all those big projects?
