Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, under political and economic pressure to make Ottawa’s spending address tumultuous times, announced Friday she’ll lay out the government’s 2023 budget on March 28.

Setting a date for the federal budget always marks a milestone in a government’s calendar and this one comes at a tricky time for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s minority Liberal government, which is under sustained attacks from rival parties to do more to ease inflationary pressures.

The challenges being thrown up by the U.S. and the global economic climate need to be top of mind, suggested Robert Asselin, senior vice-president of policy at the Business Council of Canada. How the economic landscape might continue to shift in the coming months was addressed earlier this week by the Bank of Canada, which held off raising interest rates for the first time in a year.

“Price increases for food and shelter remain high, causing continued hardship for Canadians,” the bank noted. The finance minister has also been clear with her cabinet colleagues that new pitches from their departments will need to be partially paid for with current funding.

She has a conflict of interest with her WEF position. Whomever took bribes from the Chinese Communist party should be charged with treason.

Good lord.

the issue isn't spending it's woeful lack of guts in collecting wealth monies.

Ottawa needs to cut spending. Big time. Lower taxes. And sell more oil.

Don’t hold your breath. Creepella will fuck it up for the middle class again.

More fake companies?

So canadians, here on canadian soil will be sacrificed in favour of keeping ukraine’s war machine going. As opposed to pushing for unilateral peace talks.

Freeland objectives are those of WEF and her budget shorts Health Care and gives money to corrupt countries ! Freeland should resign no one really like her

This will be a $hit show.

Let me guess, yet another budget that won't be balanced ....

Her and Blackface should resign together.

Infrastructure, is a way to stimulate economic growth, capital expenditures, that stimulate growth, roads, bridges, dams, pipelines, secondary industries, could have a multiplier effect on the economy.

There should be some interstructure spending, to stimulate the economy, The Hoover dam on the Colorado River was built during the , ' Great Depression'.

How does one become Finance Minister straight from being freelance journalist?

I hope her degree in Russian literature will help her write the budget. 😆😆😆😆 Worst managed government ever

I do Nazi this going well for her.

And Taxes go up April 1

Freedland is a terrorist ! I wouldn’t approve anything

I’m so worried about how brutal this could be for my family. Please stop reckless spending and lower taxes! It’s the only way to help with inflation and stave off a massive painful recession.

Like okay, like….the thing iszzz…okay. We crate jobs and stuff and I like numbers? - Chrystia Freeland

How much has canada given to ukraine and other foreign entities? Money which could have been utilized here to support Canadians during struggling times. Record inflation, looming crises, and canadians striggling HERE in canada. Liberals are spending billions elsewhere.

Miiiissterrr speeaaaakerrrr.......

Love how the media flatters itself! “Under pressure” LOL yeah right. Freeland is releasing the budget when the liberals want to NOT in answer to any media fever dreams

Canadian finances are an afterthought for this woman.

Freeland the parliamentarian toenail clipper will bombard Canadians with new taxes

Lol. The economy is on fire with her at the helm. I’m curious to hear how else she’ll mash it up.

Can’t fathom how Trudeau and his party are still in power. How are these people still using taxpayer dollars for ‘woke’ policies? Drag shows for kids and all? How is this acceptable to Canadians? What has this country come to? Everything goes? Are there no limits? My God.

There was One year of reckless spending they didn’t even table a budget. Liberals gotta go

Budget!? You mean wild drunken spending spree.

Former finance minister says Freeland faces tough choices on 2023 budget - BNN BloombergThe federal Liberal government faces tough choices as it crafts a 2023 budget in a high-interest rate, high-inflation environment, a former finance minister said Thursday. Liberals have had tough decisions since they took power & have consistently failed to realise they can't keep running higher & higher deficits, leading to higher debt & more taxes all in the name to buy more votes with more spending. It’s going to be challenging to buy votes now.
