Judging by the behaviour of just about every LPC government. No, I dont think that the economy matters to them.

Liberals have never given a shit about the economy. Print money and import cheap foreign labour has been their MO for 12 years.

They have added fuel to the fire of this spat with trump at every opportunity if it buys them votes and furthers their agenda so no I don't think they give a shit about economic impacts of ideologically driven policy.
