Apparently, Sacrifice Is for the Rest of Us

Mark Carney says Canada's economic pivot will come at a cost. Canadians are being told to prepare for sacrifice, disruption and economic pain.Then an extraordinary interview with Diana Fox Carney arrives.The prime minister's wife openly acknowledges that her husband's position gives her access to people, conversations and opportunities that other Canadians simply don't have. She talks about her new “convening power", and even remarks that she “obviously picked a winning horse.”The comments raise a much bigger question than anything involving the prime minister's wife personally.Are there now two Canadas living through the same economic experiment?The Decision Class decides how much economic pain is necessary.The Sacrifice Class actually pays the price.In today's Tap the Maple, Chris examines the growing disconnect between the people making Canada's economic decisions and the Canadians experiencing their consequences, from tariffs and higher prices to jobs, businesses, mortgages and retirement.And there's one question the Carney government still needs to answer:If Canadians are expected to sacrifice because Canada rejected an American trade agreement, why can't Canadians see what was rejected?Countries don't sacrifice.People do.And the bigger the sacrifice government demands, the more evidence Canadians deserve.#cdnpoli #canada #canadian #canadalife #canadianpolitics #canadiannews #canadapolitics #canadnews #markcarney #liberal #conservative #news #politics #tradewar #tariffs #poor #homeless #costofliving
