https://hub.controlandcompound.com/business-masterclass-webinar-replay   Did you know the first $1,400 many Canadians pay in federal taxes goes toward servicing government debt?   Most Canadians hear terms like deficit, debt, and government spending every day, but few understand how those decisions impact mortgages, retirement planning, business owners, and future tax rates.   In this episode of Control and Compound, Darren sits down with Devin Drover of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation to discuss where taxpayer dollars are going, why government deficits matter, the capital gains tax controversy, housing affordability, and what Canada's growing debt could mean for future generations.   Whether you're a business owner, investor, professional, or simply trying to understand Canada's financial future, this conversation breaks down complex issues in a practical and easy-to-understand way.   Topics include: • Government deficits and debt • Capital gains taxes • Taxpayer rights • Housing affordability • Small business competitiveness • Government spending and accountability • Canada's economic future  

According to a new report, there are a number of imbalances in representation in the House of Commons. Mark Milke, founder and president of the Aristotle Foundation for Public Policy and former Canadian Taxpayers Federation director, who co-authored the study, says Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia are underrepresented in Parliament, while some smaller provinces, including Saskatchewan, have more seats than they would under a strict representation-by-population model. He joins us to discuss what a more balanced system would look like.

My special guest this week—and our go-to expert on all things that taxpayers and citizens need to know—is Kris Sims, Alberta Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. We discuss the national debt, the failure of Mark Carney's Liberals to stick to their own bloated budget, the crazy use of new debt to fund the ridiculously-named “Sovereign Wealth Fund” (not sovereign and curiously devoid of anything resembling wealth) and the $59,000 in legal fees racked up by the taxpayer-funded propaganda machine known as the CBC…our own money being used to keep us ignorant of the CBC's falling viewership. Then we end with a few good news stories to help us find the courage to keep up the fight for the future of Canada!Visit the Canadian Taxpayers Federation online and subscribe: https://www.taxpayer.com

Parliament is back, and so are the fights that matter most to taxpayers. On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, guest host Kris Sims breaks down what to expect now that MPs have returned to Ottawa. Prime Minister Mark Carney is already warning Canadians to brace for a worse-than-expected deficit, despite taxpayers losing $1 billion every week to interest payments on the debt. At the same time, Ottawa has paused its ban on gas and diesel vehicles, but the issue is far from over and will remain a flashpoint in the weeks ahead as Canadians push back against costly and impractical mandates. Kris is joined by Canadian Taxpayers Federation federal director Franco Terrazzano to expose how Carney's deficit plans, Ottawa's bloated bureaucracy, and years of wasteful spending are hurting Canadians, while MPs continue to reward themselves with pay raises. Kris and Franco also warn that Ottawa's promise to “build big things” is the wrong solution — what Canada really needs is less red tape, fewer taxes, and a government that gets out of the way so private investors can finally move projects forward.

On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, guest host Kris Sims takes a hard look at Ottawa's waste and overspending — and what Canadians can expect when Parliament returns. Since 2016, the federal government has added 99,000 bureaucrats, driving costs up by 77%. Yet half of Canadians say federal services have gotten worse. At the same time, nearly 40% of federal bureaucrats now collect six-figure salaries. The examples of waste are endless, from bizarre arts grants and DEI projects to billions shipped overseas, all while working families struggle to afford basics. Kris is joined by Canadian Taxpayers Federation federal director Franco Terrazzano to dig into the numbers. Together, they highlight how ordinary Canadians are paying more while getting less in return. Franco predicts that the fall session will bring major fights over Carney's hidden industrial carbon tax, the costly electric vehicle mandate that kicks in next year, and a federal debt that has already soared past $1 trillion. And despite these failures, Ottawa still finds room for bonuses. From ArriveCan to CMHC, government executives continue to reward themselves with millions — even when Canadians are falling behind and services are breaking down. Learn more about your ad choices.

Nova Scotia and New Brunswick's premiers have each altered their explanations for controversial forest bans for the third time in a week.

And the Canadian Taxpayers Federation is celebrating a federal court decision allowing its challenge to the capital gains tax hike to proceed, potentially setting a precedent for democratic approval of all future tax increases.

On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, guest host Kris Sims explains why Canada's EV mandate is doomed to fail—and reveals the stunning growth of CBC's six-figure bureaucracy. The federal government wants to ban the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035. But Canada's grid can't support it, rural drivers are being ignored, and most Canadians simply can't afford the shift. Kris breaks down why the mandate is unrealistic, expensive, and bound to fail. Then, Kris is joined by Canadian Taxpayers Federation federal director Franco Terrazzano to expose new access-to-information findings about six-figure compensation at CBC/Radio-Canada.

On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, guest host Kris Sims breaks down the growing revolt against the federal government's electric vehicle sales mandate. Despite warnings from Canadian automakers that the policy will drive up costs and kill jobs, Ottawa is refusing to budge. Industry officials say there's been no willingness to relent on the aggressive EV sales quotas, even as internal talks continue behind closed doors. And how does ‘conservative' Premier Doug Ford both support billions in subsidies while criticizing the Liberals' EV mandates? Plus, Canadian Taxpayers Federation federal director Franco Terrazzano joins the show to break down a new Fraser Institute report showing taxes remain the single biggest household expense — bigger than food, housing, or transportation. Kris and Franco ask: Why is the government doubling down on expensive mandates while Canadian families struggle to get by? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Betrayals and Blind Trusts: The Fall of Icons and Integrity Richard dives into two explosive stories of trust shattered and truths twisted. First, Richard welcomes Toronto Sun columnist Joe Warmington to unravel the bitter feud between Canadian hockey legend Don Cherry and his former Hockey Night in Canada colleague, Ron MacLean. Then, Richard speaks with Kris Sims from The Canadian Taxpayers Federation to discuss Ottawa's high-stakes drama, where Prime Minister Mark Carney's tangled web of corporate ties threatens to unravel his leadership. Slapped with a massive conflict-of-interest screen to curb his influence over 103 companies, including Brookfield and Stripe, Carney's claims of owning “nothing but cash and real estate” ring hollow.

The new Prime Minister is now barred from participating in decisions involving over 100 companies — including Brookfield Asset Management and Stripe — due to potential conflicts of interest tied to his vast investment portfolio. On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, guest host Kris Sims dives into the explosive revelations from Mark Carney's official ethics disclosure. Carney has long preached green energy, yet he's profited from oil giants like Chevron, Occidental, and Valero, all while promoting himself as a climate leader. Now we learn he's personally invested in both fossil fuels and green energy firms — and is recusing himself from files involving them, even as his government plots major new pipelines and net-zero mandates. Meanwhile, Carney is promising to slash public spending by $25 billion a year, which the left says would rival the 1990s' deepest cuts. Yet even after these so-called reductions, Ottawa will still be spending more than ever. Kris is joined by Canadian Taxpayers Federation federal director Franco Terrazzano to break down what this all means: Can Carney be trusted to act in the public's interest when so much of the economy — and his own money — is riding on the decisions he's making?

On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, special guest host Kris Sims breaks down Mark Carney's reckless spending habits, how they compare to Trudeau's, and what it all means for Canada's economic future. Canadian Taxpayers Federation federal director Franco Terrazzano joins the show to break down the numbers. Plus, former Liberal MP Dan McTeague explains how the party he once served abandoned fiscal discipline under Trudeau — and how Carney is doubling down on that legacy, not just with runaway spending, but with extreme policies like banning the sale of gas-powered cars and trucks.
