Already flushed with the job, the new Prime Minister of Canada has jet set himself off to visit Europe. Mark Carney has visited France and the UK, presumably to introduce himself.
The news back home is less than optimistic. There’s a lot of work to be done. This is what Daniel Debow, backer of elite campaign outfit Build Canada, has shared to 11,000+ followers.
In a recent post, he shared quotes from civil servants, like “You wouldn’t believe the mess”, and, “My performance has never been assessed on program outcomes. Instead, it’s politics.”
The wise head of Carney may make light work of it, but it’s cooperation that’s needed. If he makes an effort, it will come clear how hard it is. His diplomatic skills will come in handy.
