In the news today: Liberals table budget, blue wave reaction, Kutryk spacewalk
Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne says the budget will target economic resilience, while Canadians react to a Democratic sweep and Joshua Kutryk prepares a second spacewalk.
- The federal Liberals will table the 2026 budget today in the House of Commons, aiming to fortify Canada's economy against external shocks like U.S. trade aggression.
- Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne described the budget as a step toward "changing Canada's growth model," officially titled "Maîtres chez nous," to secure economic sovereignty.
- A central feature is the "productivity mega deduction," an expanded incentive expected to cost $36 billion over five years, encouraging businesses to invest in new equipment via upfront tax writeoffs.
- Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc said recent talks with President Donald Trump's administration remain productive as Democrats take control of Congress next year, potentially easing tariff pressures.
- Most fiscal experts predict Ottawa will post slightly smaller deficits in the coming years, though critics warn that unchecked debt-servicing costs could limit the government's ability to respond to future shocks.
