Trade will certainly be an issue. I’ve read that between switching to other countries, plus the boycott of American goods, and the reduction of visits to the USA, on a macro level we’ve managed to avoid some significant financial problems–so far. But that doesn’t mean than some individual businesses and work forces aren’t hurting already.

Carney also has to tackle the affordability crisis too. That means he has to find a way to build a lot more housing–both market-based and geared to income.

There’s also a national-unity problem with Alberta too. More broadly, there has to be some way of dealing with the people out there who conflate their sense of identity with the oil industry.

Also, we have to get a handle on the disinformation flood coming from the non-fediverse social media. It’s really damaging to the public good.

So we have lots of problems and I think going back to smaller, more dynamic cabinets could be one part of crafting solutions to these and other problems.
