Episode: Brian Lilley On Out-of-Control Government Spending
Description: Stephen LeDrew sits down with Brian Lilley, Toronto Sun columnist, to discuss Canada’s ballooning federal spending and the lack of accountability in Parliament.

He explains why Canadians are footing the bill for poorly managed programs, annual tax escalations, and unchecked delegated authority—raising serious questions about transparency and oversight in Ottawa. A concise, hard-hitting look at money, power, and accountability in government.
