GUNTER: Mark Carney as reluctant as Justin Trudeau to wield pro-growth measures

I’ll bet you heard or read that the Carney government’s spring economic update last month showed the federal deficit had fallen more than $11 billion from the $78.3 billion forecast in last November’s federal budget.

That sounds like good news. Not great news. Even at $66.9 billion the deficit in the coming year will be the largest in Canadian history, larger than the largest Trudeau deficit.
