Mark Carney’s $13 billion housing initiative highlights everything that’s wrong with the Canadian system and why things won’t be improving under the Carney government.
To begin with, it proves Carney’s claims that he will streamline the government and reduce the bureaucracy to be hollow. The Trudeau government nearly doubled the civil service over 10 years. Carney has implied the growth was unsustainable and that he will get the bloat under control. Then he announces a new agency which will employ hundreds if not thousands of new civil servants. Not one of which will swing a hammer to help build a home.
