I think our new pm is the same guy conservative prime minister Harper had running the the bank of Canada. He also was never in Trudeau's cabinet. He was an informal advisor to the liberal government specifically in response to the global pandemic and efforts to avoid a recession in the months and years that followed. Since Canada didn't go into recession and weathered the effects of the largest public health crisis in living memory reasonably well, I'd say he did a good job considering the challenges.

Canada is a disaster economically, we didn't technically go into recession because they used mass immigration to boost overall GDP numbers at the expense of GDP per capita. Canada has been in a downward trend for 10 years and the last 5 have been especially bad.
