Video Description

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Prime Minister Carney's first federal budget featuring a $78.3 billion deficit. While the budget is a departure from the Trudeau era in terms of its diagnosis of what ails Canada's economy, they express concern that it does not meet the moment. They explore whether the government's heavy spending approach and "Laurentian capitalism" model can deliver promised productivity gains, or whether Canada needs a more market-driven strategy focused on tax cuts, deregulation, and unleashing private sector innovation. The Hub is Canada’s fastest growing independent digital news outlet.
