Episode Synopsis

On the campaign trail, Mark Carney won the trust of Canadians with his experience of being a banker. Now that he’s in government he’s talking about how he’s cutting spending … while also trying to build infrastructure. How can you cut spending - and spend more money?

Jay Goldberg is with the Consumer Choice Center- he joins Stephen LeDrew for Three Minutes to discuss this. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
