As one federal Liberal politician after another emotes about their “affordability for Canadians” budget, a laundry list of new taxes crashes down on all of us April 1st. The worst kind of April Fool’s joke from our benevolent leaders. Kris Sims of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation joins Mike to break down all the specifics – it’s going to hurt big time. David Yager swings by to help explain why the cost of the TransMountain Pipeline has skyrocketed since the federal government bought it. A great Goofy Award and much more.

Mike on why the high cost of living will get worse before it gets better. In a rare interview with the Parliamentary Budget Officer, we ask are we getting our money’s worth given the massive growth in the public sector? Ozzie on why the rent crunch is about to get worse. Also, is David Johnston really impartial?

Mike on the political showboating over food prices. Blake Corbet on TikTok worries. Joey Temprile on crypto’s calamity. A major warning from the head of U.S. Naval Intelligence and the takedown of Covid science by politics in the goofy.
