This episode features Rudyard Griffiths and Trevor Tombe, professor of economics at the University of Calgary, discussing the fiscal challenges facing Canada and the impact of significant spending pledges by the Carney government, particularly increased military spending, which could push deficits to over $150 billion by mid-decade.
