Sign up for our Rockefeller Masterclass now: https://hub.controlandcompound.com/rockefeller-method-webinar On today's episode, Darren and Christina break down the 2025 Canadian federal budget! They unpack why this so-called "once-in-a-generation" plan looks more like deficits on steroids, with a projected $78.3B deficit this year and national debt heading toward $2.9 trillion by 2029. They dive into exploding interest costs, Ottawa's controversial net debt-to-GDP spin using CPP, and what this all means for taxes, interest rates, small business owners, and Canadian families. If you care about Canadian politics, fiscal responsibility, and building wealth in a high-tax, high-debt environment, this is a must-watch.
