These are all top-down decisions imposed on individuals and firms. This is the essence of the socialist approach. And like other forms of socialism in the past, this new brand will fail to deliver promised results and impose enormous costs on society. If you’re worried about Canada’s future, I’d like to ask you a favour. Every week the Fraser Institute produces studies, commentaries, blogs and videos about the Canadian economy – everything from health care, to the environment, to the state of our federal finances. We give Canadians the facts they need to hold their governments accountable. Because of this, we of course do not accept any government funding. Instead, we rely on supporters like you. If you’re able to, please consider making a donation today so that we can continue this important work and reach more Canadians than ever.

- Trudeau cancelled and blocked energy infrastructure projects that do not align with his specific vision for the future.
