SHIFTHEADS: What the 2025 Budget Missed About Food—and Why It Matters
Update: 2025-11-07
Description
There’s $115 billion for infrastructure—but just $680 million for agri-food. In this candid breakdown, Dr. Sylvain Charlebois scrutinizes Canada’s 2025 federal budget through an economist’s lens, revealing who benefits, who’s left out, and what voters should watch for next.
Learn why automatic tax filing could ease food insecurity, how changes to the temporary foreign worker program affect food service, and why interprovincial trade barriers still plague progress. Plus, a bold call to scrap GST on food entirely.
Get clarity on a dense 500-page document that forgot retail, ignored affordability, and may be a prelude to majority politics.
