Slogans may be great for selling headache remedies and antacid pills, and likely please people who need catchy phrases for scribbling on placards, but they’re no way to run a country. You’d think Liberals might have learned that from the disappearance of “sunny ways” from the prime minister’s catalogue of breezy talking points. Apart from their basic shallowness, both Freeland’s assertions have big holes in their logic.
The finance minister takes care to assure us she is not all spend and no preparation. There is a plan. “We have a compass. We know how to get to a safe harbour and what to do when we get there,” she said. Unfortunately, she just won’t tell us the details. Maybe it’s a secret harbour. Maybe she’s afraid someone else will get there first. In any case, Canadians can’t be told the whereabouts. You’ll just have to trust Chrystia Freeland and Justin Trudeau.
