They critique the government's state-led economic approach and question why policymakers avoid proven supply-side reforms like tax, competition, and regulatory changes. In the second half, they examine Canada's deepening ties with Europe, focusing on Prime Minister Carney's plans to attend the European Political Community Summit in Armenia next week. They explore whether Canada's economic trajectory over the past decade signals a fundamental shift toward European-style governance, moving away from its North American identity and roots of meritocracy and opportunity.
