Mark Carney's debut budget fails to meet the moment
Sean Speer, editor-at-large at The Hub, critiques Mark Carney's first budget for being too Ottawa-centric and missing generational change. He argues it underestimates U.S. investment threats and shows deficits are due to policy choices. Richard Shimooka delves into Ronald Reagan's political legacy, comparing it to today's leaders, including Trump. He explores Reagan's message of optimism versus Trump's gripes, and how Reagan's governance strengths still resonate in today's polarized landscape.
