There's a moment in every national crisis when a government must choose between managing decline and gambling on renewal. Canada's 2025 budget represents such a moment—not because it's perfect, but because it dares to imagine that the arithmetic of austerity isn't the only math that matters.

For decades, we've been told that national budgets should behave like household budgets, that debt is inherently dangerous, that the only responsible path forward is perpetual belt-tightening. This budget, for all its flaws and uncertainties, proposes something different: that sometimes the most fiscally responsible thing a nation can do is invest in its own potential.

This is Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy

Independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, clinical, global, and community conversations about things that matter. Breathe Easy, we go deep and lightly surface the big ideas.

Thanks for listening today!

Four recurring narratives underlie every episode: boundary dissolution, adaptive complexity, embodied knowledge, and quantum-like uncertainty. These aren’t just philosophical musings but frameworks for understanding our modern world.
