Mark Carney’s $78B Budget: The Biggest Gamble in Canada’s History?

Canada’s 2025 federal budget just dropped — and it’s one of the biggest deficits in our history: $78 billion.
Billions for infrastructure, defence, and new programs. Massive cuts to bureaucracy and immigration.
Is this an investment in the future — or a gamble that will cost Canadians for decades?

Highlights:
– $141 billion in new spending over 5 years
– $81 billion for the Canadian Forces
– $50 billion for infrastructure projects
– Immigration and public service cuts
– Interest payments now $55 billion per year
