The cost to the country as the government staggers from crisis to crisis is mounting

When Chrystia Freeland rises in the House Monday to deliver the Fall Economic Statement – if she does – the country will be presented with a remarkable and disturbing sight.

One searches for precedent and finds none. Prime ministers have imposed policies on their finance ministers before, but have generally kept it under wraps. Finance ministers have had to recant budgets or mini-budgets, but usually not until after they have been released. Still, this disastrous week marks a turning point, the moment at which this government crossed from desperation into dysfunction. It cannot be allowed to continue. The principle of parliamentary responsibility requires that all members of cabinet, let alone the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister, be publicly on the same page when it comes to the policies for which they are collectively accountable.

Ordinarily that would be something for the government to endure. But the cost to the country, as the government staggers from crisis to crisis, is mounting. Plus whatever other torments the incoming president, who appears to covet Canadian resources in a quite personal way, can devise. The threat is real, and goes far beyond anything imaginable under any previous president. Put it this way: the chances that Russia and/or China might attempt some territorial incursion in our North must now be considered. Until lately we might have assumed they would be hindered by the prospect of U.S. retaliation.
