Do you care how governments spend the money they collect? If you’re like us here at Gen Squeeze, following the money is important. That’s why we’re happy to be your guide to Budget Season 2022.

Budgets shape all of the actions governments take. So if we want progress on housing, child care, climate, wellbeing and generational fairness, it needs to be in the Budget.

Budgets matter especially for young Canadians, because Gen Squeeze has repeatedly shown that governments spend far less to support younger people than older ages, despite the growing time, money, service and climate squeeze they face.

Influencing governments to build better Budgets is a big part of what we do. That work starts months before Budgets are released, and continues long afterwards. Through it all, we share our recommendations and analyses with you, so you can decide if you support proposed priorities, and if plans to achieve are supported by evidence.
