  FP: In the midst of serious concerns over Canada’s economic prospects and rising competitive challenges from the U.S., Finance Minister Bill Morneau’s 2018 federal budget does nothing to address these problems. In some respects the budget makes matters worse by continuing the government’s self-destructive policies of chronic deficit-financed spending and new taxes on entrepreneurs
