Justin Trudeau is set to unveil a vision for Canada’s post-pandemic recovery on Monday that will double as an election platform, heavy on new spending and assurances the mounting debt is affordable.
The budget, the prime minister’s first full fiscal plan since before Covid-19 hit, is an opportunity to lay out longer-term aspirations he’ll be able to campaign on in a national vote that could see him regain his parliamentary majority.
