Listen "Carney's budget: A story of political floor crossings, not economics"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Hub Politics, host Sean Speer is joined by Amanda Galbraith, co-founder and president of Oyster Group, and David Coletto, founder and CEO of Abacus Data, to discuss the Carney government's first budget and the dramatic floor-crossing that overshadowed its release. They debate whether the budget's focus on macroeconomic growth and productivity over immediate household relief was the right approach. They then examined the political bombshell of former Conservative MP Chris d'Entremont's crossing the floor to the Liberals, potentially putting them within reach of a majority government. They explore what this new development means for both Carney's governing prospects and Pierre Poilievre's leadership of the Conservative Party.
