Federal budget 2024: How much should the government spend - and on what? | Power & Politics 

Cut the government pay raises!!! They have not earned it.😮

I can't even look at these 2 anymore... the next elections can't come soon enough...

It’s too far left. The system is no longer worth paying into

Healthcare, housing, groceries, wages before corporate handouts.

Pay raises for the Feds, another year of stagnant wages for everyday Canadians. What a society we live in

‘Federal politicians get pay bump, PM salary tops $400k’

It’s not costing the government higher interest rates, it is costing the Canadian taxpayer, the citizens are paying the debt, not the government. The government spend, citizens pay.

More debt than all previous PMs in Canadian history combined.

They should stop spending it on themselves

The stock market should be last thing we look to for a good economy.

"Secret RCMP report warns Canadians may revolt once they realize how broke they are" - National Post

What the hell! I don't want a rental property, I want to be given the opportunity to buy a house. I do not want to spend my entire life making someone else rich and have nothing to pass down when I'm gone.

The question is, How fast can Canadians get a new gov in to fix these Liberal\NDP policy disasters?

healthcare, education, housing should be the top 3

And they give them self a raise?For what.

These two stooges makes me sick. They know they're going to be wiped out next selection so they're blowing your money as best they can.

Its time for a change in government.

Pay down the debt!! Money doesn't grow on trees

It seems this CBC host works for the Liberal/NDP government when he pokes at profits as being the problem.

Listen to this furst guest. Very reasonable in every way.

Talking about Nordic nations. In Norway the oil and gas industry contributes 24 % to the national GDP. If we want to follow their example why are trying to shut down our oil and gas industry

How can they make so much money . All these government people .

5% is not "windfall profits". Its razer thin margin.

More spending money on programs we can't afford putting us more into debt and raising our income tax again and again.

Two lobbyists detached from reality. They think the demise of the middle class is still just a theory.

This guest gives me hope that there are brains in the wings that could possibly turn this country around. Would love to see him question Freeland

He said trickle down.

May42024, where is all the money promised to seniors. I can no longer pay my living expenses. What do I do now?

The CBC head office in downtown Toronto should be turned into the worlds largest outhouse.

The deficit this year will be a little less than the cost of servicing the debt so they will borrow the money to pay the interest on the debt. That seems like good financial policy and all Canadians should try to do this and see how that works out. It’s possible that the best course of action for Canadians would be to stop paying off our loans, mortgages, credit cards and bills. Hold on to the money that would go for all those things and then stop going to work for a couple of weeks in a general strike. We could take the government down and if they don’t call an election we could take the country down. The banks would have a completely meltdown if they didn’t have any money coming in. If only people could come together we could make some serious changes in the way we live.

The first guest makes so much sense. If only any of the Liberal ministers had a portion of this! How voters can support our current government is beyond me!!

if all our money didn't go to simply having a roof over our heads. imagine the money that would flow in the economy.

When is the budget going to balance itself ? 🤣We're waiting.🤭

Well, you have a drama queen and a historian running the country, and Canada is tanked further than the Titanic: both m o r o n can't run a lemonade stand.

We have been living in a bubble all our lives ,wake up time , we have lost touch with our family , friends kids . Running around in circles. Created does nothing, never bye a new car , A c. A auto is a parasite , bye an older car . Grow your own every thing , people power family power . I am in , boycott greed .

CBC has to show stills of Freeland because they won't address the elephant in the room. Where are all the JT fanbois when he needs them?

Now that’s a real Canadian advocate!

This guy knows his stuff! CBC nice try!

6:50 dude mentions "competition" in Canada what a joke where has this guy been for the last 25 years!😂

It’s time to take a step outside of your ivory tower Armine Yalnizyan. If your helping some people out of poverty by pushing other people into poverty that is not helpful and it is also a waste of time and money.

Sunny days don’t worry after they announce it… can be incredible how it means nothing they’ll still spend more!

If you want the working and low income families to sacrifice to fight climate change, first, politicians should cut their wage and pension by 70 % and no raise until we meet the climate target, and top 10% income earners should be taxed to the point where they can barely afford their luxury yacht and cottage. That is only fair and only way. Most working families scraping for rent, mortgage and grocery bills with jacked up prices of everything. Only privileged ones can easily suggest that we should sacrifice when they don't know what it's like for working families in this highly inflated economy.

All the ungrateful Cons who took CERB or CEBA give back the money to help pay down the debt.

No he is just worry about climate change the climate changes everyday

The uncomfortable point about Nordic social countries is there 95% homogenous……. not promoting it just pointing out to get to 95% homogenous here in Canada would require mass deportation

He is why be are all broke, aytime you say trickle down I run for the hills. How about we try trickle up for a change.

Stop spending money and call an election.

RCMP recommended that you resign Justin Trudeau!

8:54 BS. Businesses in Canada want designer labour and don't want to train new workers or invest in better technology to improve output and raise wages, simply because managers and senior staff are too worried about their job security and the new hires "outperforming" them. And god forbid you mention trickle-down economic policy as we know that doesn't work - the very reason we're here largely has to do with that school of thinking and it's embarrassing that more of it is being proposed. Both of these people are rather out of touch with the realities of the Canadian economy. The host could very well be playing devil's advocate but even then, his arguments are weak and only scratch the surface of what's really behind what he's saying. Goldy Hyder on the other hand, has some okay ideas but for the most part, is going to turn Canada into a paradise for the business elites while leaving scraps to the average Canadian, at the expense of the average Canadian. Weather that's intentional or unintentional is up for debate. We give tax breaks to businesses a little too often, almost to the point we're bribing them to just follow the damn law. It's time Canadians have had enough and introduce crown corporations in almost every single industry to keep these businesses in check while reaping in the profits - in other words, following Goldy's advice and getting new revenue streams.

vote them out!

Goldy Hyder is correct on his analysis. We need to look at the environment with a different lens and a more open perspective.

There is no climate crisis

Canada, let private capital build low cost renewables in all regions. Let's have good policy to funnel private capital to build a new huge national grid connecting all our provinces to share electricity back and forth.

This reporter definitely sounds like he’s on Liberal party payroll. Not a sentence went by where he didn’t defend the government policies or shift the blame away from Trudeau.

The Nordic countries are wealthy. It's much easier to invest in people when the funds are there. These governments do cut back spending when times are tough. Everyone wants to be like Sweden... Sweden did not become wealthy through social democracy, big government and a large welfare state. It developed economically by adopting free-market policies in the late 19th century and early 20th century. There's a strong culture of encouraging entrepreneurship and innovation.

TRUCK FRUDEAU‼‼

Shits gong sideways because they spend all the money in good times, then borrowed a ungodly amount to pump in bad times.

Why oh why do they keep bringing on Armine, she is so far outside of mainstream economic thinking...

This host should wear a Liberal party hat. Just get it over with.

Less.

I can tell this first man has been waiting to say this for a long time. I love it.

This interviewer is so Pro Trudeau .This Anchorman needs to go, like his Pal Trudeau.At least the guest speaker not. The Guess Speaker made alot of sense.

Get those 2 out. Useless politicians. Muster........r Spieeeeker

😅for their pakest

Oh my lord. A true capitalist that wants to make the rich richer with all the age old bullshit like "trickle down".

Guy knows nothing about climate change. What a surprise from the Business Council.

Spend $100 BILLION on interest payments - then we can talk! Until then the Liberals are not spending enough of our money. I want a free Tesla and free health care and free post-secondary education and a free cottage too! Give me more Trudeau! Step up! Go big or go home!

How much we give away billions to support Ukraine war ?don't tell us how PM tell us budget 2024.pathetic.

Are those two sleeping together? Trudeau and Freeland???

Thanks to the host, David, for countering some false solutions based in neoliberalism by the guest.

I bet Justin Trudeau flew out somewhere on our dime to celebrate a holiday that he doesn't believe in! Where did he go this time?

Contrary to what she is saying ……..it’s a much more worrisome issue in Canada because an enormous percentage of Canadian wealth is locked into housing …. So the wealth concentration is skewed in Canada in the housing bubble ….

Thanks liberals

I am not a fan of old Lefty (David) - but Goldy !!! Adult conversation... that is hilarious and awesome. Thank you Goldy for speaking the truth.

@5:00 "when did profits become a bad word", when they ballooned while everyone got poorer where do you find these people?

Richard Medhurst-Israel sent 6 missiles & destroyed Iran's Embassy in Domascus next to Canada's Embassy😢

The government needs to severely curtail spending and slash taxes. They should be running the country, not doing charity work or providing foreign aid or giving themselves a raise!

Freeland is the most cringeworthy and bizarre politician in Canada. So, liberals please keep putting her out front.

Defund unwr@

hes completely wrong about businesses investing in employees thats a pipe dream from the boomer age.

Hahaha.

toronto - please vote in a cerebral way and not a partisan one. even if just to purge the party and rebuild.

I honestly think you should ask Trudeau him and the Royals are the least of y'all's problems you need to come together as a nation and stand up

Defund CBC.

“A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.” - Edward R. Murrow

CBC turning off all comments related to carbon taxes. Getting ratioed hard. And defunded soon.

Give more money to ukraine we have lots of money

Give us a JOB!!! Then we can contribute to the economy, I quit my job after moving and its been 2 years UNEMPLOYMENT!

lost all credibility when he said that Canada oil is the cleanest.

Trudeauism

Providing security. Both within and without. But they attack its own citizens so no power to them.

How the F can we allow this monster to stay in power????? How?

hmmm

Zero accountability. The budget HAS NOT BALANCED ITSELF!!!

It’s time for a conservative government sad to say it, but that’s what we need right now

Defund cbc

How about they resign instead?

who would have thought the Liberals would tackle the twinning of the TransMountain pipeline to increase output of Alberta oil

Putin: New World Order В синтезе многочисленных материалов, открытых и закрытых мероприятий в мире под влиянием РФ, содержатся повторяющиеся конструкции или три тезиса Путина для лидеров мнений и политиков развитых демократий: 1.⚡Последнее предупреждение: - Я недосягаем и могу всё. А что можете вы, скованные массой своих институций, электоральной мимолётностью и сакральностью своего комфорта? - У меня нет границ и красных линий, их для вас устанавливаю я. - Вы меня должны бояться, а не я вас. - Никакого способа свергнуть мою власть, повлиять на неё извне или изнутри, не существует. Чего не скажешь про вас и ваши парламенты. Скорее Земля сдвинется с оси, Белый дом и британский трон, нежели установленная мною власть. - Кто из вас хочет прямого со мной столкновения, кто отважится со мной воевать? Вы пришли к правильным выводам и молодцы, что так часто их подтверждаете. - Вы ещё живы, благодаря мне. Не испытывайте моё терпение на свою беду, хромые утки на мешках евродолларов. Учитесь думать, наслаждаясь в своих театрах великой русской культурой в кругу моих послов. И никогда не грубите мне - самому вежливому на земле. 2.⛅Давайте по-хорошему: - Зачем нам портить отношения из-за мелких стран-злыдней? Зачем столько расходов? - Несмотря на политический фон, ценю, что продолжается наша торговля и сотрудничество. Если будете сговорчивы, то кто нападать на вас будет? Предлагаю настроиться, чтобы перевернуть страницу, жить и богатеть дальше. - Я в контакте и за мир. Это Украина вошла во вкус бессмысленной войны и эскалации, причём за ваш счёт. - В ваших же интересах наличие балтийско-черноморского буферного пояса европейской безопасности. - Не принимайте близко к сердцу либеральные субкультуры своих стран - болтовню, нытьё и перформансы: пусть выпускают пар. Миром правит свобода великих интересов и свобода великих лидеров, а "демократия" и "свобода масс", их собственная правда, грёзы, призывы и требования - вторичны, поддаются формированию или подавлению. 3.😎Давайте дружить: - Многополярный мир - утверждённый мною исторический вектор цивилизации. А пока судьбы мира можем решать только мы - я и президент США, который учитывает моё влияние. - Мой путь - долгосрочный, планетарный, освободительный. Двери в клуб друзей - масштабных лидеров нового мирового порядка - открыты. В нём - я, Трамп, Си, Эрдоган, Орбан, Хаменеи, Ким, Иисус... Со мной Африка, ХАМАС, талибы, левые, правые и центристы в Европе... Нетаньяху сверяет со мной часы. Агентурные сети и спецгруппы, мировой бизнес, преподаватели и студенты, учёные, писатели, массмедиа, деятели культуры и спорта, многочисленные локальные и мировые организации, ООН, Папа, представители религий и небо - вместе со мной за мир во всём мире.
