With its pandemic spending plans, the Trudeau government is again betting it all on red | CBC News: Now, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is preparing to gamble again that Canadians will support even more deficit spending when his government rolls out a new agenda later this month to respond to the health and economic challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We are asking Canadians to embark on an entirely different direction as a government,” the prime minister said Wednesday in an interview with CBC morning show host Stephen Quinn in Vancouver.

“We are going to rebuild the Canadian economy in a way that was better than before.”

The rebuilding effort begins with the Sept. 23 throne speech and will continue later in the fall when Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland releases her first economic outlook.
