So you think you can budget

Projects & Initiatives: Alternative Federal Budget

From corporate tax cuts to seniors benefits, everyone on Parliament Hill seems to think they know what should be in the budget. But can you do better?

What if you were finance minister for a day, what would be in your budget? We've developed an interactive budget tool based on our Alternative Federal Budget where you can choose the programs you think are important. Watch out though, budget choices have consequences. With every program or taxation change comes an effect on the deficit and unemployment.  

How will your budget look?  Once you've perfected it, you can share your budget with friends on Facebook, Twitter or by email.

The CCPA’s bold vision and creative solutions help us imagine better futures for all. Its efforts to build bridges between labour, industry, and civil society and mentor young activists lay the foundation for realizing those provocative futures. I consider my support for the CCPA an investment in a better future for British Columbia.
