Lloyd Axworthy makes the same point here. Mark Carney is overhauling decades of Canadian foreign and domestic policy without telling Canadians what his plan actually is, and what he’s sacrificing to impose his vision on the country.

Canadians can see only scattered pieces of a national strategy. Carney needs to explain how they fit together
