Government Creep Is Taking Over Everything In Canada

Franco Terrazzano, head of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss what LeDrew calls “government creep” — the steady expansion of government into more and more areas of Canadian life.In this episode, LeDrew and Terrazzano argue that governments are trying to fix problems created by bureaucracy with even more bureaucracy. From major projects and pipelines to housing, regulations, carbon taxes, federal debt, and government spending, they say Canada is making it harder for the private sector to build, invest, and grow.They also discuss Mark Carney’s government, the growth of the public sector, Canada’s rising debt, and why taxpayers are being forced to pay for an ever- expanding bureaucracy.This is a blunt conversation about big government, taxpayer money, debt, and why Canada needs less red tape — not more.Topics covered in this episode:Government creepMark Carney and big governmentFederal bureaucracyMajor projects and pipelinesNatural resource developmentCarbon taxes and regulationGovernment debt and deficitsPublic sector growthTaxpayers and federal spendingWhy Canada struggles to build Hosted on Acast.
