“We need the CCPA to remind us that our dreams of a decent, egalitarian society are reasonable — indeed that with a little work, they are practical. And I love that practicality, that protection of the dream of the possible.”
— Naomi Klein
About this Publication
Events around this year’s budget unfolded rapidly after its release at 4 p.m. March 22nd. By approximately 4:45 p.m., the leader of the NDP and the leader of the Bloc had both decided to vote against it. The Liberals had already made that conclusion earlier. So why analyze a budget that was a live option for all of 45 minutes? Budgets reveal government priorities — and this budget could have ramifications for Canadians for many years to come.
