Broken Promises, Flat Housing, Falling Growth: The Carney Reality Check

Canada’s economy is officially on life support, but the problem isn’t interest rates, and it isn’t the Bank of Canada.In this Tap the Maple episode, we break down why Mark Carney’s economic inaction after a full year in office is the real reason housing hasn’t bounced, manufacturing is collapsing, confidence is dead, and Canada is now on recession watch for 2026.Despite aggressive Bank of Canada rate cuts, housing prices are falling, residential construction is flat, per-capita GDP is declining, and the most rate-sensitive sectors of the economy are stagnating. This isn’t a monetary policy failure — it’s a leadership failure.We also ask the question no one else is asking:Where did the housing go?What happened to the container homes, modular builds, and “record housing starts” Canadians were promised?Bandages don’t heal broken bones.And after one year of Mark Carney, Canada is still waiting for real leadership.
