When Good News Tuesday collides with federal Budget Day, optimism gets a reality check. Shane Hewitt opens the mic with a mission: find genuine wins amid political posturing and government spin. Joined by Ryan O’Donnell and David Hunter, the team analyzes reactions from party leaders, critiques the communication gap in the budget rollout, and reflects on how living in Ottawa changes how federal policy feels.

Despite a bleak news cycle, a surprising card game victory and a sunny day in the capital bring levity. This episode blends sarcasm, sincerity, and sharp observation — all in pursuit of finding light in the heavy.
