Carney's Secret Tax Hike?

from Tap The Maple · host Hosted By Chris Baker

A new Fraser Institute study examines what could happen if Ottawa eventually reduced federal transfers to the provinces. The result could leave provinces scrambling to replace billions of dollars in funding—forcing difficult choices between higher taxes, spending cuts, or larger deficits.Today we break down the numbers, revisit the Chrétien transfer cuts of the 1990s, and explain why many Canadians may not realize who's actually paying when governments shift costs between Ottawa and the provinces.Could your premier end up taking the political blame for decisions made in Ottawa?#cdnpoli #canada #canadiannews #canadiapolitics #canadian #taxation #canadatax #canadataxes #canadataxation #liberal #conservative #markcarney #incometax #healthcare #canadalife #politicalcommentary
