The Carney Liberals are spending like drunken sailors—but forgot one small thing: a federal budget.
On this episode of The Gunn Show, Kris Sims from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) joins us to break down the financial chaos unfolding in Ottawa, where the government has committed to tens of billions in new spending—for everything from NATO commitments to the national gun confiscation program—all without tabling a budget. And we won't see one until late 2025.
That's not just reckless. It's unprecedented.
We dig into how this bizarre no-budget budget year affects transparency, accountability, and taxpayer trust, especially as Ottawa forks over untold millions to seize lawfully-owned firearms from law-abiding licensed Canadians. At the same time, gangs run amok on the streets of our cities.
We'll also unpack the CTF’s latest Provincial Finance Minister Report Card, which gives Alberta's Nate Horner a respectable "B" while other provinces fared far worse. Find out who's doing the best job keeping spending in check—and who's lighting taxpayer dollars on fire.
Plus, we examine two new bombshell reports:
-
The Auditor General’s takedown of "GC Strategies," the shadowy firm at the heart of the ArriveCan scandal that billed for work it barely did.
-
And the appointment of the new CBC president, who shockingly earns the exact same quarter-million-dollar salary as her predecessor, despite record-low ratings and public trust.
Meet the new boss—same as the old boss, but just as overpaid.
If you care about government accountability, the waste of your hard-earned money, and what's really going on behind the scenes in Ottawa, this is an episode you can't miss.

Michael Guillery commented 2025-06-15 22:54:53 -0400It’s common knowledge that the major number of gun crimes involve those smuggled into Canada. Difficult to believe the government is not aware of this. Seems it’s more than about cracking down on crime. What does a government have to fear from a disarmed population? (… true north strong and free … not so much.) Disheartening to witness Canada moving into tyranny.

Jane Branchflower commented 2025-06-13 15:16:55 -0400If you were a criminal would you go to an area where there is strict gun control law and therefore no one has a gun in the his/her house or would you try to break into a house where there could very well be a gun? Gun crimes, from what I can see, are committed with by criminals with illegal firearms which have been smuggled into the country, not by law-abiding citizens.
The right to bear arms keeps all of us safer and dates back to the Magna Carta which allows citizens to protect themselves from an over-reaching government. -
Bernhard Jatzeck commented 2025-06-11 23:57:25 -0400A budget means that the government should, theoretically, be accountable for its spending. But this is Canada under the Liberals……

Maurice Potvin commented 2025-06-11 22:44:08 -0400I got rid of all my guns (6 guns… a Parker-Hale 306, a 30-30 Winchester, 2 22s, a 12 gauge shotgun, and a 410 shotgun) when I got too old to hunt (78 years) and too weak to pack a moose out of the bush. But I’m so sorry I did now, not because I’d ever go hunting again, but just to thumb my nose at Trudeau and his Liberal cohorts. I’m willing to bet there are tens of thousands of paper criminals across Canada right now, who stock piled boxes of ammunition and put it all into hiding, along with their long guns, waiting for a Conservative Government to come to power. I, however, can’t wait for a vote on Western Canadian independence so we don’t have to worry about that BS anymore.

Bruce Atchison commented 2025-06-11 22:00:53 -0400Marxist Carney wants to take away our rights to property. The first casualty is our guns. Next it’ll be dangerous tools like chain saws, nail guns, and the like. Eventually even steak knives will be taken out of our hands, all in the name of safety of course. It’s the government’s safety they care about but never ours.
