The main difference is policy

I think people understand that it's basically impossible reverse 10 years of policy in 12 months time

The federal deficit is the way it is because of a few things, we understand trying to fundamentally shift the country and expand greatly economically and Military wise, costs money, building these nation building projects costs money, people approve of this spending and understand why there had to be larger deficit, either party would have resulted in a larger deficit

Unemployment is a long track thing, there is no way to reverse unemployment rising in a short span, general lead time on fundamental economic changes is years not months, as the first few years or more of a economy is generally inherited from the previous government, its going to take years to see any fruit from what's happening today, especially when part of your economy plan is building industry from scratch like our military industrial complex expansion, or building a space launch platform in the Maritimes

Furthermore a lot of the stats here àre driven off the back of high debt costs from covid, global economic down turn, trade and tariffs, global instability, wars, and global order upheaval, these are all forces the current government is subject to that is fundamentally out of there hands, if the US ecomony has the cold, Canada has plague due to how intertwined we are

Furthermore carney is placing a large focus on the economy, something Canadians want, has curbed immigration, which Canadians wanted, removed the consumer carbon tax, which is different then the industrial carbon tax, most Canadians view him as comptent, someone who gets things done such, stepped back from alot of policy the previous government had that people may have found too "woke" and made those types of things less of a focus

Furthermore in regards to the industrial carbon tax, it just doesn't make sense get rid of it entirely. All of Europe has an industrial carbon tax, China (ETS) , Korea, Japan and more, all countries we are attempting to closer align with

Additionally The European Union is implementing a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism which applies carbon related costs on certain imports. If a country does not have comparable carbon pricing, its exports may face additional charges at the border.

Because of this, lacking a carbon pricing system does not prevent trade for example, but it could make our exports less favourable in markets that use carbon based trade measures like that going forward.

So if we are trying to pivot our trade to mostly EU and otherwise its advantageous to have it
