    Our per capita GDP is basically unchanged since Liberals took over, as the US did very well. So clearly we didn’t build infrastructure with the money which is my problem with the Liberals.

      100%. However Carney has come out and said in clear terms this is going to change in concrete ways. Also I liked something he mentioned in a presser the other day - they’ll be getting rid of external consultants and contractors (often large companies) as well as looking at procurement. I read this as curbing public money from going into the Accentures of the world as well as reducing how much we pay service providers like Azure. I suspect curbing dollars going to US companies would also be a priority.
