Deep dives into the decisions, projects, and institutions that shape Canada's economic trajectory. Not statistics, but investigations. Built on public data, government filings, and official records.
96% of net job growth came from government hiring. The private sector is flat. Business insolvencies hit a 15-year high in 2024, up 68% from pre-pandemic levels. The public sector wage bill grew 3.3x since 2000 while GDP per capita grew just 1.2x. The OECD projects Canada dead last among advanced economies for the next 40 years.
1 in 4 Canadians (nearly 10 million people) cannot reliably afford to eat. 1 in 3 children lives in a food-insecure household. Food bank visits have doubled since 2019, yet food banks only reach 12% of the hungry. In Nunavut, 58% of households are food insecure. This is not a supply problem. It is a policy failure.
31 major resource projects worth $348B in direct investment (an estimated $670B in total economic impact) have been cancelled or shelved since 2007. Pipelines, LNG terminals, and oil sands developments killed by regulatory paralysis, political intervention, and bureaucratic indifference.
We're building accountability reports across federal spending, infrastructure delivery, and institutional performance. Each report uses publicly available data to answer simple questions: What happened? What did it cost? Who is accountable?
