How optimistic should we be about Canada’s future?

In this paid subscriber-only edition of The Roundtable, Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss opposing outlooks on Canada's political and economic trajectory, including the declining GDP growth, the lack of housing affordability, and Mark Carney's statist approach. They also discuss how a Reaganite optimism is a relevant perspective during a time The Hub has termed a "lost decade," and explore whether entrenched elites and demographic shifts will prevent the kind of market-oriented reforms that transformed the 1980s.
