Carney's Canada: Same Circus, Different Clown

The curtains have changed, but the house remains the same. Mark Carney’s leadership as Canada’s new Prime Minister has raised questions about continuity versus change. His cabinet shuffle largely retained Trudeau’s key players, including Chrystia Freeland and Stephen Guilbeault, while economic policies, such as tariff exemptions, appear to contrast campaign promises of standing firm on trade. Has governance shifted, or is it business as usual under a new face?

With the Liberals likely to find support from NDP MPs, are we witnessing meaningful action or just political theatre?
