The federal budget passed — barely — and it’s leaving a lot of Canadians wondering what’s next. In this episode, Shane Hewitt reacts to the news from Ottawa, where a razor-thin vote just approved a massive deficit that could impact generations.

From political frustration to financial fatigue, the team gets candid about the real cost of national debt and what the Parliamentary Budget Officer really thinks of our fiscal targets. Then, the tone shifts: if you had to leave, where would you go? Ryan picks Denmark for the social safety net, Shane dreams of Ireland or the French-German border, and David throws in a wildcard. It’s a blend of current events, cultural curiosity, and practical escape fantasy — with some real talk about how people feel right now.

No yelling, just honest questions — and a little humour — about where we’re headed.
