Publisher Rudyard Griffiths and Editor-at-Large Sean Speer discuss this week’s federal budget, including the Trudeau government’s focus on redistribution over growth, its high spending, and the consequences of ongoing deficits and debt accumulation. They also discuss the budget’s increased tax rate on capital gains tax, the policy debate that it has provoked, and the real-world, detrimental impacts on the Canadian economy.
