Why Carney's "once-in-a-generation" budget received a lukewarm response

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Carney's post-budget release and why it received a lukewarm reception from business and industry groups. They argue that the budget contains too many scattered priorities rather than bold, signature initiatives, and explore whether the budget's technocratic, state-centric approach to economic development can deliver on its promises. They also discuss the budget's immediate political implications—including efforts to entice Conservative MPs to cross the floor. The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.
