The Budget that Quietly Rewrites our Lives

2025 Year End Conspiracy Review

Leslyn Lewis just put out a profound Substack talking about the subtle changes in this federal budget which reflect huge concerns. As we know, this budget was twice the forecasted debt after the last twice the forecasted debt budget Chrystia Freeland was supposed to resign over.

The selling point was less spending and more investment. That's just a sneaky way of saying more spending because it doubled the forecasted already doubled debt.  

Leslyn Lewis points out that "For most of our history, infrastructure meant something we could see: a bridge, a road, a water system, a public building. These investments were visible and understandable. This budget implicitly redefines that idea by directing enormous resources towards a new infrastructure: the digital systems that will increasingly shape how Canadians live and how government operates."

She talks about how hidden terms reflect significant changes to how the government controls our civil liberty. So we have two problems on the table. The use of AI and digital technologies to erode and over ride the Charter of Rights in the name of progress and more massive spending that is unsustainable. 

The Neo Con answer to the uncontrolled spending is to raise the age of retirement and get rid of social security for seniors. They are purse snatchers who want to rob little old ladies to fill their greedy pockets and gain more power and control over voters. I have always said we don't need to go from reckless spending to reckless cuts. We need to reduce the reckless spending first. We need to make a course correction so we go in the right direction not the wrong direction and end up lost. 

We need to be a boat with a rudder not a leaf in the stream so we can steer our own course in life. We also need to look where we are going. We need a metaphorical sextant. A navigational tool to make sure we are going to the correct direction so we arrive at the correct destination. We need to see through the barrage of lies so we don't end up lost at sea.
