Emma Buchanan of Visual Change Video sits down with Gen Squeeze Founder Paul Kershaw to discuss Elxn 45. We dive into:
- The magical thinking behind party promises to cut taxes and increase spending.
- The surprising budget item that overshadows all other federal spending and why parties aren’t talking about it.
- Where parties are falling short on what Canadians really need to address the unaffordability crisis And;
- What happened to Mr. Poilievre’s “carbon tax election” and what’s now at stake to protect our kids from harmful pollution.
In an era of “Trump-style” political turmoil and fake news, we use our Dupe-o-Meter to dig into each party’s promises to discover if there’s substance beyond the slogans, so voters know what’s really on offer.
