Wow, this is really well thought out and brings up some excellent questions.

"the Canadian government has grown so large that 44% of every dollar spent in Canada is now directly spent by the government, and that number rises to 64% when you factor in coerced spending (compliance costs, tax subsidies, spending mandated by regulation, etc.). And government employment has grown so large that 1 in 4 employed Canadians (25%) now works directly for one of the various branches of government (federal, provincial, and municipal) or in the multitude of bureaucratic institutions that keep the gears of government turning (for perspective, in the United States that number currently sits at around 14.5%)."

Even 14.5% is way too much! Go DOGE!!
