Actually there's very good reasons to make these changes in a recovering economy. Significant numbers of unemployed allowed for less hard economic restructuring as labour can move to new productive sectors. Government spending to prop up demand can be done to prop up demand in new less carbon intensive sectors. Economic recovery is in many ways the perfect time to do it.

And besides Canada is recovered, so your argument isn't really applicable.
