We don't know about you, but we could hardly sleep Monday night knowing there was a fresh budget waiting under the fiscal Christmas tree. With the corpse of Halloween still fresh in the dirt, Coca-Cola has dropped its annual holiday commercials… with a twist.

Mark Carney's Liberals pledged "generational investments" in the budget they unveiled Tuesday as Canada navigates a tariff-hit economic crisis, with $141 billion in new spending offset by about $51 billion in cuts and other savings. It includes a commitment of $13 billion towards housing and new builds over five years. Alina McKay, research manager at UBC Housing Collaborative, and Jill Atkey, CEO of the B.C. Non-Profit Housing Association, join the show to discuss what needs to be prioritized in the housing crisis. The budget also pledges $51 billion towards the Build Communities Strong Fund over the next decade. The Filipino community in B.C. has been working to build a community centre for years. B.C. NDP MLA Mable Elmore joins the show to discuss how government funding can play into the community's goals.

Today, Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne is set to deliver the first budget under Prime Minister Mark Carney. Early announcements have signalled sweeping cuts to the public sector. There's no guarantee that the budget will pass, given Carney is presiding over a minority government. The NDP has said they wouldn't rule out abstaining from the budget vote; for his part, Carney has said he's ready to fight another election campaign if it comes down to that.But beneath all the politics surrounding the budget are actual policies and plans for the government. It's the job of the Parliamentary Budget Officer, or PBO, to provide non-partisan analysis of these plans to parliamentarians – does the math add up? Are these predictions sound? Today on the show, Yves Giroux, who was the PBO from 2018 until early September this year, is here to walk us through what to watch for when the budget drops later today.Questions? Comments? Ideas?

This is a big week in politics: Mark Carney's first federal budget. To catch you up on what you missed from the government's big unveiling, The House brings you this special bonus episode from today's live CBC Radio broadcast. Co-hosts Catherine Cullen and Susan Bonner spoke to politicians, business owners, voters and experts to dig into just how pivotal this federal budget may be — and whether it'll gain enough support from opposition parties to stave off an election.

To listen to the full episode consider becoming a donor to the Munk Debates for as little as $25 annually, or $.50 per episode. Canadian donors receive a charitable tax receipt. Rudyard and Andrew try to make sense of the Canada-US trade chaos of the past 72 hours. Andrew offers two interpretations: either Trump was looking for a reason to walk away from the table as a negotiating ploy, or he is a genuinely needy child who cannot tolerate criticism. Canada is not the unreasonable party here. Is there a point to negotiating at all if we can't have confidence that the agreement will be respected? Trump is ratcheting up turmoil on a weekly basis to the point where the public is being numbed into submission. What will happen if the U.S. Supreme Court strips Trump of his trade powers? Rudyard and Andrew then turn to the upcoming Canadian federal budget. What are Mark Carney's priorities? As the leader of a minority government will he attempt the bold action required to address our productivity and trade crisis? And if he fails, are we headed for a spring election?

Our national affairs panel weighs in on the biggest political stories of the day. We're about a week away from getting Prime Minister Mark Carney's hotly anticipated first federal budget that the Prime Minister says will be all about taking “big bold risks,” while warning that there will be sacrifices ahead for Canadians. Over the weekend, we've seen the fallout from the U.S. President Donald Trump calling off trade negotiations over an anti-tariff advert put out by the Ontario government. All this comes as the P.M. is on his first diplomatic trip to Asia, looking to shore up new trade alliances. We break it all down with CBC's Chief Political Correspondent Rosemary Barton, Stephanie Levitz of the Globe and Mail, and Ryan Tumilty of the Toronto Star.

No one likes checking their credit score and seeing a hit to the rating - even the Canadian government.Credit rating agencies are bracing for the upcoming November 4th federal budget, and with a lack of fiscal updates since the last federal budget under the Trudeau government, economists aren't quite sure what they should expect when it comes to the deficit.So just how deep could the red ink run? And will the minority federal government receive the backing from any of the opposition parties to get it passed through the House?Host Mike Eppel speaks to Randall Bartlett, Deputy Chief Economist at Desjardins to discuss what former-banker-turned-Prime Minister, Mark Carney, has up his sleeve for the upcoming budget, and what he plans to do about a potentially ominously large deficit.

On October 6, 2025, hundreds of space advocates from across the United States joined The Planetary Society and 20 partner organizations on Capitol Hill to deliver one clear message: protect NASA’s science budget. We begin with Ari Koeppel, AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellow and Space Policy Intern at The Planetary Society, who shares why this moment matters for scientists facing uncertainty about their future. Then Britney Schmidt, planetary scientist at Cornell University and member of The Planetary Society’s Board of Directors, calls in from Washington, D.C., to share what it’s like on the ground as hundreds of advocates come together to defend the future of space science. Next, we take you to the press conference on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, featuring Bill Nye, CEO of The Planetary Society, Representative Glenn Ivey of Maryland’s 4th District, Marcel Agüeros, president-elect of the American Astronomical Society, and Brandon Jones, President of the American Geophysical Union. Together, they urge Congress to restore NASA’s science funding and maintain the United States' leadership in discovery. We close with Casey Dreier, chief of space policy at The Planetary Society, reflecting on the power of grassroots advocacy and what comes next for the Save NASA Science campaign. Finally, in What’s Up, Bruce Betts, The Planetary Society’s chief scientist, joins host Sarah Al-Ahmed to look ahead, exploring the great mysteries we could solve in the coming years if we continue to invest in space science.

HEADLINE: US Fiscal Crisis and the Politics of Debt GUEST NAME: Veronique de Rugy SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Veronique de Rugy about the federal budget impasse and America's escalating debt crisis. The government has been operating solely on borrowed money since September 21, adding $2 trillion annually to the debt. Both parties avoid addressing fundamental fiscal problems through continuing resolutions that extend previous spending levels. Republicans claim fiscal responsibility while adding to the debt, and Democrats leverage shutdown threats to expand Obamacare subsidies. De Rugy argues that only entitlement reform of Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security can solve the crisis, along with ending private sector subsidies and reducing federal involvement in state affairs

In this episode of Passing Judgment, host Jessica Levinson is joined by Politico's Nicholas Wu to break down the causes and consequences of the ongoing government shutdown. They discuss how partisan divides, failed budget talks, and the Senate filibuster have led to a halt in government services and potential spikes in healthcare costs. Nicholas shares what this means for everyday Americans, the political strategies on both sides, and why the shutdown could last for weeks. Tune in for a clear explanation of how we got here, what's happening now, and what may come next on Capitol Hill.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:1. How the Government Shutdown Happened: Nicholas Wu lays out the basic process of government funding through appropriations bills in Congress. He explains that both the House and Senate Appropriations Committees are supposed to agree on funding for each agency by September 30th. This year, they failed to come to an agreement, and attempts at a stopgap measure (a continuing resolution) fell through, triggering the shutdown.2. Partisan Gridlock & Narrow Legislative Majorities: A recurring theme is the impact of narrow majorities in Congress and the difficulties that creates for reaching agreements. Wu highlights that with such close margins, especially in the Senate due to the filibuster rule, bipartisan cooperation is necessary but often lacking. The lack of communication between parties and between Congress and the White House is also emphasized as fueling the stalemate.3. Impact of the Shutdown on Everyday Americans: The conversation shifts to what the shutdown actually means for federal services and the public. Wu notes that the effect varies depending on where people interact with the federal government. Essential services (like air traffic control) keep running, but might do so without pay, while some non-essential services are halted, affecting federal workers and potentially local economies.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica
