About this episode

Enjoy this special feed drop of our sister show "In This Economy?!" Reaction to Mark Carney's Budget 2026 has mixed. Some have criticized the price tag, others have praised the moves to spur investment. But above all, most analysts seem to agree that it doesn't contain anything earthshattering. But that's not to say it won't be affecting you, or that Canadians don't have opinions on it. Host Mike Eppel is speaking with Jamie Golombek, Managing Director of Tax and Estate Planning with CIBC Private Wealth in Toronto, about changes to the tax filing process and what it means for you. Then, host Kris McCusker speaks with David Valentin, Principal at Liason Strategies, about how Canadians are feeling about the budget, and whether or not it changes how they view the government.
