Jack Mintz: The King will have an easier job with throne speech than Carney
On Tuesday, we will be privileged to have King Charles III open Parliament with the speech from the throne, 68 years after his mother Elizabeth II did so, the first time a monarch had. (She also delivered it in 1977). On that first occasion, in 1957, the 'my government' Her Majesty referred to was a Tory minority government led by John Diefenbaker. Its legislative program, and therefore her speech, focused on NATO, federal-provincial fiscal relations, economic development, social justice and international trade — all familiar themes today. History does repeat itself. Tuesday's speech will play up the Liberal election plan, which boasted 'Together, we'll stand strong against President Trump's tariffs, create new jobs, cut taxes for the middle class, and build the fastest growing economy in the G7.' Unlike his immediate predecessor, Prime Minister Mark Carney at least says he's focused on economic growth rather than new social programs. His success will be measured by his actions, however, not his words. So far, his actions have not been impressive. After five months of prorogation and an election, Parliament will meet for just a month before going on another vacation, delaying what should be a spring budget to the fall, though a summer session is hardly unheard of: our most recent was in 2020. Are we really aiming to be the fastest growing economy in the G7? Our economy stagnated over the past 10 years, but growth has disappointed for decades. From 1990 to 2023, our per capita gross national income rose 51 per cent (in 2021 international dollars). In the U.S. it grew more than double that: 111 per cent. Other G7 members will be easier to catch: France, Germany and Italy grow as slowly as we do, Japan even slower. But many non-G7 members have far out-paced us since 1990: Australia (91 per cent growth), China (706 per cent), Ireland (171 per cent), India (314 per cent) and Israel (109 per cent). For high-income countries as a group per capita GNI rose 63 per cent; for all countries, 80 per cent, which makes our 51 per cent look very feeble. Maybe we should try to make the playoffs before we aim for the Cup. Even keeping up to the average for high-income countries will be a challenge with U.S. growth slowing, inflation and interest rates sticky downward and oil prices falling. Then there are tariffs. For two reasons, they're not likely to go away soon. The U.S. needs the revenues that a 10 per cent tariff on most imports will generate. And it seriously wants to repatriate autos, aluminum, steel and semi-conductors to grow the U.S. industrial base. Reciprocal tariffs aimed at reducing the U.S. trade deficit will gradually disappear as Washington negotiates new trade deals with other countries. But we don't seem to be included in that plan. The effective U.S. tariff rate on our exports is now roughly 11 per cent, compared with just two per cent before Trump started raising tariffs. It would have been even higher were it not for exemptions under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico agreement. And still other tariffs may be coming — on semi-conductors, lumber and films, to name a few. Carney's visit with Trump was friendly enough but it achieved virtually nothing: Trump made clear sector-specific tariffs will stay. Playing with elbows up doesn't guarantee a win. And there are other arrows pointing to continuing stagnation: core inflation (i.e., ignoring food and energy prices) remains above three per cent, which means interest rate relief will be postponed, hurting a housing market in which new starts are already stalling. Unemployment, now 1.5 million, is rising as uncertainty causes companies to hold back on investment or, even worse, shift it to the U.S., especially in manufacturing. The Liberals' idea, a sound one, is to improve competitiveness rather than rely on massive immigration to provide growth. Making that happen won't be easy, however. A third of our exports — energy, vehicles and parts — will be hard to diversify quickly, given their current orientation to the U.S. market. Stepping up energy exports requires a sharply different regulatory approach. As for the auto industry, unlike Mexico's, ours simply isn't competitive in Chinese, Asian or even European markets. There's lots of talk about bringing down interprovincial trade barriers, but don't hold your breath. Provinces might reduce some but protectionism will always motivate new ones. In its recent budget Ontario cut taxes on craft beer and alcohol — but only for products manufactured in Ontario. Go figure. In the end, the Liberals' growth plan will boil down to traditional Liberal methods: big government and fiscal stimulus. The official plan to keep deficits at two per cent of GDP is likely to fail, especially if the economy goes into recession. The debt run-up will be focused on infrastructure and housing, which is better than borrowing to pay current expenses. But it comes with a daunting price tag. For example, a recently completed Toronto fabricated building offering 25 low-rent units of 220 square feet each cost a fortune to build: $1,350 per square foot, funded by $900,000 from the builder and $6.5 million by taxpayers. The public subsidy to do this for 100,000 units would be $26 billion. EVs versus movies (a tale of two subsidies) Election swagger is over, now back to the future King Charles' job is to read the throne speech with dignity, something he has trained all his life to do. Prime Minister Carney's is to turn the speech into reality, a challenge he's taking on for the first time.

We've underestimated Francis Rossi
I have a friend who insists that had Status Quo hailed from Düsseldorf rather than Catford, they would nowadays be as critically revered as Can, Faust, Neu! and those other hallowed Teutonic pioneers of unyielding rhythm from the 1970s. Maybe so. Very probably not. Canned Heat and ZZ Top seem more reachable comparisons. But it's true that 'the Quo' have been underestimated and unjustly derided throughout their six-decade career, not least by themselves. The band has happily perpetuated their position as rock and roll neanderthals: a 2007 album is titled In Search Of The Fourth Chord. There was always a little more to it than that. Personally, I have always divined a terrible sadness at the heart of their music. Like most court jesters, Status Quo internalise great loneliness and despair. Consider the regretful pills-and-powder sentiments of songs such as 'Marguerita Time', 'Living On An Island', 'Down Down' and 'What You're Proposing', made all the more doleful by the bleached stoicism of Francis Rossi's pinched voice. Their prototypical heads-down Ur-boogie, meanwhile, is the cosmic hamster's wheel made sound, a pitch perfect aural representation of the existential treadmill. Inelegantly billed as 'An Evening of Francis Rossi's Songs from the Status Quo Songbook and More', this two-man touring show offers a corrective to the established Quo-text, though I very much doubt that is the intention. Having lost his brother in arms, Rick Parfitt, to a heart attack in 2016, Rossi is joined by second guitarist and backing vocalist Andy Brook. Supplied with nifty Fender Acoustasonic semi-acoustic guitars, the pair perch on a couple of red easy chairs, separated by a small table adorned with a green desk lamp.
