What happens when “generational” becomes a punchline? Matt Gurney joins Shane Hewitt to analyze a federal budget loaded with recycled infrastructure projects and fuzzy timelines. With a $40+ billion deficit and no clear relief for young Canadians, the message missed its mark. Gurney critiques the disconnect between political framing and economic reality — and why Canadians, especially the younger generation, aren’t buying it.

From defense spending to civil service cuts, this episode explores what the budget signals about priorities, governance, and how long it’ll take to fix what’s been ignored for too long.
