Budget 2025 is investing in new healthcare infrastructure — because Canadians need hospitals, emergency rooms, urgent care centres, and medical schools that they can rely on.

American owned paper in Canada presents us the "spokesman" to break up our country.
Tadda: he's a former US marine.
They can't even find a real Canadian to be MAGA's quisling puppet.
Piss off back to the States dude and take your marine oath of loyalty with you.

In Budget 2025, Canada’s new government is investing to build big — more housing, new infrastructure, and major projects that will strengthen our economy.
The Buy Canadian Policy is going to make sure builders use Canadian materials and resources to do it.

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down?
Federal workers aren’t furloughed.
Funding for social services doesn’t dry up.
Failure to pass a budget triggers an election.
It puts the politicians jobs on the line.
They get the budget passed.
