The government gets most of its money through taxes in Canada.
Then they plan and redistribute that money to the agencies, corporations and departments that provide essential services for the population, and it gets spent on offering and managing those services. (Yes this is a simplified explanation)

Otherwise, who would the government tax to subsidize these other citizens?
