Is Mark Carney connecting with ordinary Canadians — or talking down to them?
In this preview of a larger Members-Only Interview, Stephen LeDrew sits down with former MPP, broadcaster, and writer Peter Shurman to discuss affordability, immigration, emigration, and the growing disconnect between Ottawa and everyday life in Canada.
Shurman argues that while Carney may be highly educated and respected internationally, many Canadians are more concerned about paying mortgages, buying groceries, and finding opportunities for their families than hearing about “new international orders” and global economic restructuring.
The conversation explores:
Why Canadians continue supporting Mark Carney
Rising costs of living and affordability pressures
Immigration and Canada’s housing crisis
The growing “brain drain” of skilled workers leaving Canada
Why doctors, engineers, and professionals are moving away
And whether Ottawa truly understands what Canadians are facing
