Spring Economic Update Statement
Apr 29, 2026
"This Spring Economic Update points in the right direction, but Canada cannot incrementalize its way out of a productivity crisis.

A Report on Carney’s First Year in Government
Mar 30, 2026
Progress is real, but it's mostly groundwork: 77.7% of commitments are In Progress or Completed. But most of that movement looks like consultations launched, early funds deployed, and line items in departmental plans, not outcomes Canadians can see or feel. Execution has not caught up to rhetoric: Legislation bottlenecks stalled a significant chunk of the agenda.

The big-ticket items have yet to break through: The 181 completed items were largely things that needed only a ministerial signature or a tax change.
