Jay Goldberg: Canada’s Budget Is a “Nothing Burger”

Stephen LeDrew sits down with Jay Goldberg, policy analyst and frequent Three Minutes guest, to dissect what he calls “a nothing burger of a budget.”Despite over $70 billion in new debt and another $150 million handed to the CBC, there’s no real relief for Canadians struggling to pay their bills. Goldberg points out that half of Canadians are within $200 of financial collapse, yet Ottawa still refuses to cut taxes, rein in spending, or get shovels in the ground on major projects like the Ring of Fire or new pipelines.Instead, the government doubles down on bureaucracy, hides behind accounting tricks, and calls a ballooning deficit a “fiscal anchor.” LeDrew and Goldberg expose how every penny collected in GST is now being swallowed by debt interest — and why Canada needs a growth plan, not more government handouts.
