Doug Ford’s Debt & the Risks of Tax-and-Spend Politics | The Marc Patrone Show (03.30.26)

👉 *Click Here to Subscribe:* https://www.youtube.com/@RockLincPartnersMark welcomes Jonathan Wellum, president and CEO of Rocklinc Investment Partners, to discuss recent market volatility tied to rising oil prices and conflict in Iran, before turning to Ontario politics and finances. Reacting to a Doug Ford clip and the latest provincial budget, Jonathan argues that Ontario has shifted from past prosperity to soaring debt approaching $500B and a roughly 40% debt-to-GDP ratio, blaming decades of governments and criticizing Ford for continuing large deficits, meddling in the economy, and backing failed battery investments. They say healthcare and education consume most of the spending yet remain dysfunctional, warn that rising interest costs will squeeze living standards, and compare Ontario’s lagging GDP performance to New York State and Alabama. The conversation also critiques Avi Lewis’s call to tax corporations and billionaires, arguing that such ideas would drive capital away. *Please visit https://www.rocklinc.com for the latest prospectus, Fund Facts, and other information on the ROCKLINC Principled Equity ETF: https://rocklinc.com/etf/ https://youtu.be/e34BGJZlqDA?si=i2I7gqZlkyj83sbB*Learn more about Rocklinc: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjbJS8-FZgaExMwLylSU6IOMMaSkT0y_P or visit our website: ⁠https://www.rocklinc.com📖 *Chapters*⏰00:00 Rocklinc ETF AD: https://rocklinc.com/etf/00:50 Doug Ford is a Joke01:40 Ontario Debt Explosion04:20 Ford Not Conservative05:06 Education and Healthcare Failures06:49 Debt Interest and GDP Gap08:20 Why Ford Keeps Spending13:06 Avi Lewis Tax the Rich14:58 Capital Flight and Grocery Reality17:09 Rocklinc Contact and Wrap===========================*Connect with us!*=============================Get a free portfolio review with Jonathan Wellum and the team at Rocklinc, visit: https://bit.ly/4anVNzdGet To Know Jonathan Wellum: https://youtu.be/ezMiX0FtZ7gFollow us on social media:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉 X: https://x.com/RocklincIP⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉 Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: https://www.facebook.com/rocklinc⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉 LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: https://www.linkedin.com/company/19148766/admin/dashboard/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉 YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvEh2n3BPa69TBsnVD1J1JQ*Want help achieving your financial goals?
