It had no flash, no clear story, and no retail wins—so what was this budget for? Jamie Ellerton and Lindsay Broadhead dissect the 2025 federal budget, suggesting it may be less about Trudeau’s vision and more about making space for Mark Carney’s.

They break down what the budget offers (sector-specific nods, civil service cuts) and what it dodges (a national narrative, voter trust). Also on the docket: the politics of crossing the floor and whether this marks a shift in Liberal strategy—or just a scramble for numbers in a fragile minority.

Smart, sharp political readout on a budget that left the country guessing.
