WATCH: Carney budget ignores the real problems
In the latest episode of “Not ‘Sorry’”, host Alexander Brown dives deep into the fallout from the federal budget, where questions from ordinary Canadians and experts alike continue to mount.
In the latest episode of “Not ‘Sorry’” on Juno News, host Alexander Brown, Director of the National Citizens Coalition, dives deep into the fallout from the federal budget, where questions from ordinary Canadians and experts alike continue to mount.
The Liberals’ so-called “sacrifices” continue to disproportionately burden young and working Canadians, eroding the nation’s already-vanishing middle class. Brown highlights critical voices beyond party lines, including past Liberal housing adviser Dr. Mike Moffatt, who lambasted the budget’s hypocrisy: while Ottawa scraps a 10% luxury tax on yachts, families face equivalent or higher taxes on homes in places like Scarborough. Moffatt deems the budget a “disaster” for housing, failing to tackle sky-high development costs and red tape.
Instead, it peddles band-aid solutions like public housing units and forever rentals, all while record immigration levels -- improving, but major questions remain -- exacerbate the Liberal-fueled crisis.

The episode further exposes unchanged “limousine-liberal” priorities, with Brown critiquing the promised transformative budget as featuring far too many cosmetic tweaks on Trudeau-era failures. After saddling future generations with historic debt, the Liberals even celebrated at a lavish post-budget bash hosted by a consulting firm and a media outlet that’s previously pocketed government funding.
Guest Ian Lee, associate professor at Carleton University, joins to analyze the budget’s implications, voicing concerns about fiscal recklessness and a centrally-planned economy, while also offering glimmers of optimism amid the structural woes. Tune in for these unapologetic insights on Juno News.
