Budget 2025: Deficits and Drama in Canadian Politics
In this episode of Spin Nation Podcast, we dissect Canada’s Budget 2025 not just for its numbers—but for the narrative strategy driving the headlines. With a staggering $78 billion deficit, sweeping reforms, and a wild floor crossing, this budget is more than policy—it's political theatre.
We explore:
