Abstract: This essay will lay out the four largest components of fiscal policy—taxation, purchases, transfers, and borrowing—and explain why they matter and how they connect to Canada’s economic challenges. While we mention provinces, territories, and municipalities at various points to offer a more complete picture of Canada’s overall fiscal landscape, our focus is mostly on the federal government. Before concluding, we pose some policy questions worthy of further discussion.
