The Federal Deficit Explained: Will It Lead to Higher Taxes? | PART 1
Canada’s 2025 federal budget just changed the rules—and your bill. Mike Wixson and Paul Micucci unpack how a record $78.3B deficit, a higher $2.54T debt ceiling, and a shift to accrual accounting actually work, using a simple “two buckets” model you’d use at home or in a small business. Clear, plain-English breakdown—no spin.
What you’ll learn:
• The “Bucket 1 vs. Bucket 2” model: operating deficit vs. capital spending
• Why the accounting switch (cash → accrual) changes how numbers appear
• Where revenue growth comes from (personal, corporate, GST/excise, EI)
• The biggest expense drivers (health transfers, seniors’ benefits, debt interest)
• How much new financing is required and why project ROI now matters
