あらすじ・解説
In this episode of “In The Mood With Kim G C Moody Podcast”, Kim discusses the so-called recent Christmas present handed out by the Canadian federal government: the GST / HST holiday on certain “affordability” items and the $250 cash handout scheduled to be distributed to certain Canadians in the spring of 2025. Is it really a gift? Or will it come with significant costs? Short answer….it’s a costly gift that will have no lingering benefits. It’s frankly providing a sugar rush. Instead, Canada should be planting acorns for long-term economic benefits. Such “planting of acorns” should include the introduction of productivity measures and significant reductions in government spending that can have long-term benefits. Kim ends the podcast by emphasizing the need for Canadians to improve their financial literacy so as to make more informed choices in the future. Happy listening!
