I am super excited to finally make public that the incomparable @BenWoodfinden has joined us at MBP. Ben is one of the most thoughtful, thought provoking & intellectually daring ppl I know. Among other things he’s going to help launch MBP Intelligence (coming soon). #cdnpoli

@tylermeredith @MarkJCarney @FP_Champagne The 10 year actually *fell* a couple bps when the budget went public. So, yeah, the PBO was completely out to lunch here.

Jason Jacques as Interim PBO is a joke. #cdnpoli
Since 3:30pm yesterday, Canada’s benchmark bond rate has moved… 1 basis point. Markets are very comfortable with @MarkJCarney’s generational investment plan. Well done @FP_Champagne

The federal budget heralded a new approach to "capital budgeting". I unpack the new framework, and find it's mostly about optics: https://t.co/7ttb4SbzSP. There's some genuine new investment in the budget, but not as much as 🇨🇦 needs for the moment. #cdnecon #canlab #Budget2025

Leading into this budget, the Carney government made much of a new distinction between operational spending and capital spending: between “spending” and “investing”. However, in practice this...

Saying “tearing down Canada” doesn’t mean you don’t love Canada. It means you’re being stupid and divisive. I am not sure why this is hard to understand.
Canada Liberal lawmaker suggests Tories don't love Canada, whereas Liberal Govt does. "We are building, you are tearing down Canada," says Buckley Belanger.

That’s rich. Perkins’ community sure as hell wasn’t a fan of his beliefs.

Yes facts are shocking. Aren’t they?
My biggest insight (and double take) from today’s Budget: A lot of the narrative about Canada’s tax rates being “uncompetitive” is just that… narrative. 🇨🇦

Yup, this is what I meant re tone and scope vs Economic Action Plan
Today’s forecast #Budget2025 deficit for 2025-26 of about $78 billion is slightly smaller in today’s dollars as @stephenharper’s $55.6 billion deficit in 2009-10. The more you know. #cdnpoli

Stephen Harper put it best: “I would be prepared to impoverish the country and not be annexed, if that was the option we’re facing.”
70% of Canadians say they’d accept slower economic growth if it meant more economic independence from the U.S. That sentiment cuts across age, region, and party lines — a rare point of unity. 🇨🇦 https://t.co/DPRzESstwk

What we are watching for later today in #Budget2025 Me - the debt management strategy and how we sell this generational investment to the world in an increasingly competitive debt market. #cdnpoli

You can play that game by pretending you can waive the citizenship of any group. Political professionals accept the facts as they are and plan accordingly. Arm chair Twitter types can live in a fantasy world. Me- I wonder what a CPC campaign that appealed to boomers would look
To put into perspective the influence Boomer voters are having on the nation - the vote intentions if you remove the boomer cohort are as follows: CPC: 44% LPC: 35% NDP: 10% GPC: 3% Bloc: 2% A near 10% lead for the CPC lol

Some highlights of current nightly polling. LPC lead pretty stable at 9 points. But most really don’t want an election now. Most think modest concessions to avoid a good idea, particularly LPC supporters. Race tight in Ontario and LPC advantage is smaller than at outset of last

A new provincial survey shows many Albertans turning away from Danielle Smith’s government—and the teachers’ strike is at least partially to blame.

Enjoy @DavidWCochrane’s recurring use of “play stupid games, win stupid prizes” re: voting against the budget.

Passing #Budget2025 will mean getting much needed help to the people on the front lines of protecting our most vulnerable. #cdnpoli
Care can’t wait. SEIU advocated for this. And Canada’s federal government is delivering in #Budget2025: $1,100 PSW Tax Credit. ✅Promise made. Promise kept. @MarkJCarney @PattyHajdu @JZerucelli @FP_Champagne @downeyty
