Prime Minister Mark Carney says his first budget will unlock "one trillion dollars in total investments" and kick-start a new era of growth. But does the math add up?

Alberta Edge host Ryan Hastman sits down with economists Trevor Tombe from the University of Calgary and Mark Parsons from ATB Financial to break down Budget 2025. They talk about the productivity diagnosis, the limits of the proposed solutions, and why Alberta will be central to whatever happens next.
