Government-Run Grocery Stores? Canada Has Lost The Plot

Peter Shurman joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss why Canadians increasingly expect government to solve every problem — and why both men believe government should be doing far less.Shurman argues for a more minimalist approach: government should focus on core responsibilities like defence, immigration, transportation, health and education, while leaving businesses and individuals free to build, invest and create.LeDrew and Shurman also discuss how Canada was built by entrepreneurs and small businesses, the expansion of government programs, taxpayer-funded media and proposals for municipally- operated grocery stores.Their message is simple: government should handle the things only government can do — and stay out of everything else.Topics covered in this episode:What government should actually be responsible forThe case for smaller governmentImmigration and national prioritiesHealth, education and provincial responsibilityHow entrepreneurs built CanadaGovernment replacing private initiativeTaxpayer-funded programs and mediaMunicipal governments entering retailWhy bureaucracy keeps expandingLetting business do what government cannot📌 Subscribe to Peter Shurman’s Substack here: https://substack.com/@shurmanator Hosted on Acast.
