A new Leger poll from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation shows 45% of Canadians want the federal government to cut spending, compared to 20% who want increases. Among decided voters, that number rises to 54%. CTF’s Franco Terrazzano says Canadians “know they pay too much tax because the government wastes too much money.” Despite promises of fiscal discipline, Ottawa plans to spend $488B this year—up 8.4% from last year. Critics urge PM Mark Carney to reverse course and stop the overspending.
Nearly half of Canadians say Ottawa must cut spending, new poll finds from taxpayer watchdog group.
