Episode notes
Canada's long awaited budget will be tabled on November 4th. It's the first one in 18 months and will lay out the new Carney government's agenda from a dollars and cents perspective.
What are the signals it will send to the markets? How does the process work? And what are the politics at play?
Yaroslav and Heather discuss the play-by-play process, estimates, ways and means vote, implementation bills, and more.
Sound complicated?
Hear from the guy (aka Yaroslav) who used to help whip the vote on The Hill and can nerd out in plain language to help you understand how it all works.
Headline spoiler: despite all the hoopla about a Christmas election, voters will probably be spared another trip to the polls by a few too many bathroom breaks. At least for now.
