François-Philippe Champagne, Canada's new finance minister is using synonyms.

By Andrew , 16 March 2025

“We’re going to say there’s a difference between spending and investment,”

Okay. But what do you mean?

“We have been clear. We’re going to spend less. We’re going to invest more. We’re going to build Canada tomorrow.”

Okay. But that's not clear at all.

"I’m very much focused on the other side of the equation, which is the investment" .... to “build the economy for resiliency to have a strong economy.”

Okay, now this is starting to sound like tax cuts for the rich. Which we know doesn't offer any return on investment for the government budget.

Pressed repeatedly on how the federal government will accomplish fiscal responsibility, Champagne wouldn’t answer directly, but insisted “it’s a very different frame.” “We’re going to be very transparent with Canadians."

Trickle down economics confirmed. But with support for Carney being so high, everybody is asleep.
