Governments often use budgets to change the channel from what their opponents want to talk about to what they want to talk about.
The Trudeau government is no exception. It clearly hopes this week’s federal budget will dampen all the negative chatter about carbon pricing and get people focused on the great plans it has for solving the housing crisis and making life “fairer” for young Canadians.
But here’s a snag: changing the channel is a lot harder when your buddy on the couch grabs the remote and insists on switching back to the programming you want to get away from.
Trudeau has a solution to the housing crisis he created? Bullshit.
