06 | Debt or Deficit: Does Government Care? (w/ Jock Finlayson)
05/29/24 • 22 min
In this episode of Journal, we explore the seeming indifference that the federal and British Columbia governments have towards deficit budgets and a building debt. The service payments on that debt are climbing as interest rates rise, costing the Government of Canada more to pay than they pay for health care.
Join Carole and Jock Finlayson as they dive into the factors that will leave today’s youth with a massive debt.

07 | What is Canada’s Place in the World? (w/ Hon. James Moore, Conservative Party of Canada)
Oh Canada – what has happened to our reputation? On election night of 2015, Prime Minister-elect Justin Trudeau proclaimed, “Canada is back!” Nine years later, Canada is not back; since then its reputation has deteriorated.
No question: we used to punch above our weight when our beloved country was listened to with respect at the United Nations and around the world. Not so much anymore.
So who are we now? What is Canada’s place in the world? Do we have influence?
Join Carole Taylor and the Hon. James Moore as they examine the root causes of Canada’s sinking reputation.
