Rex Murphy: And what, in any deity’s name, should we take from this phrase: this is our chance to “accelerate our pre-pandemic efforts to re-imagine economic systems”? Stop right there. What were those “pre-pandemic efforts” that now must be “accelerated”?
Most importantly, why is this an “opportunity”? The answer, of course, is because, before COVID, no one wanted the Liberals’ green schemes. Because in normal times, absent some vast crisis seizing everyone’s attention, any announcement of a so-called great reset would be laughed at by every adult in the nation, and all clear-headed children.
Trudeau has no grounds, and certainly no mandate, to “re-imagine” the Canadian economy. And he should be the last person to assume he can reinvent it at will, having plunged the country into a bottomless cavern of debt and deficits. Whatever else COVID may be, it is not a passport to a minority government, of seriously deficient economic competence, to reset, restate or rearrange Canada’s industrial foundation.
