Diane Francis: Trudeau’s gross fiscal mismanagement

It’s tax time, which is always depressing in Canada thanks to the country’s spendthrift federal government.

The Trudeau Liberals have overspent and overtaxed for years, creating an uncompetitive business environment that drives out jobs. Then, to make matters worse, the government “bribes” companies with subsidies and grants to create jobs. This perpetuates a vicious cycle: subsidies are paid out of high taxes, which in turn increase taxes, necessitating more subsidies in order to maintain levels of employment.
