The government can reduce its spending while better targeting those genuinely in need
The Carney government regularly describes its fiscal approach as “ambitious” and “transformational,” but in reality it’s simply perpetuating a fiscal decline that’s plunging Canada deeper into red ink.

And to truly be ambitious, it should start by reducing elderly benefits – Ottawa’s largest single spending item.
