IMHO the chief problem is that the taxation is wildly regressive, & the ppl who're running the gov't are rich enough not to be discomfited either by the rising cost of living or any other burdens they load onto others. Politicians wouldn't be allowing if this crap if they weren't allowed to be wealthier than their poorest constituent. Since that would be difficult to enforce, it would be easier if everyone had a UBI equal to what politicians get paid, and the ppl who have ALL the money (2% of the population in the US; I don't know what % it is in Canada) had to pay ALL the taxes. I don't know what Canadian law allows for, but the US Constitution allows Congress to create all the money it needs debt-free, w/out having to tax anyone....

Correct. The administrative state is an ever present evil. Hanson wrote an article days ago, “are we the Byzantines”? The answer is a resounding yes!! All organizations are being DESTROYED by top heavy administrative loads: Education, Health care, etc.
