Public spending playing a large role in the economy is not a bad thing. That is unless you haven't got off the neoliberal mental train. The real results are what's important. When the private sector clutches its pearls instead of investing, the government has to fill the gap. If they don't we end up in a bad crisis. It's good to see that the two of the three major parties know this.

The fact that real per capita gdp growth is no longer declining is a huge win in my opinion.
GDP up, mostly government spending, per capital gdp and productivity is down. Would this affect a BoC rate decrease?
It is difficult to hear how much is spent and how much regular people still struggle. I have little hope.
