Seven Months, No Shovels — LeDrew Breaks It Down

from The LeDrew Three Minute Interview

Stephen LeDrew sits down with Jay Goldberg, Canadian Affairs Manager with the Consumer Choice Center and frequent Three Minute Interview guest, for a hard look at the fallout from Mark Carney’s first federal budget — and whether Canada is any closer to getting back on track.Goldberg says the rhetoric of renewal doesn’t match the reality: there’s no movement on the Ring of Fire, no progress on pipelines, and no sign that Canada’s major projects are advancing beyond the study stage. Despite talk of rebuilding, the deficit has doubled, industries are still leaving, and confidence in Ottawa’s economic leadership continues to erode.LeDrew presses Goldberg on whether Canada needs an election to force real change, or if Carney has already lost his chance to prove himself. The two debate what’s holding the government back — from old Trudeau-era ministers to entrenched Liberal habits — and what real leadership would look like.A focused, fast-paced Three Minutes on politics, budgets, and the cost of going nowhere. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
