The Trudeau government brings down its latest budget today, which former Liberal strategist Greg MacEachern says is a handy blueprint in more ways than one. He says the budget will give the Liberals a chance set the tone for the next election campaign, while potentially saving room for bigger, flashier items to come closer to the 2019 vote. The opposition parties will also use the document to cement their own fiscal messaging for the election. The Conservatives are expected to chastise the government for failing to produce a plan to balance the federal books.
