Forget tax cuts. This is how to pick the best federal party for your personal finances
April 14, 2025

All that is fine, but we need a government that delivers prosperity the old-fashioned way: through rising incomes that make people feel they are getting ahead in life.In the trade war with the United States, we’re on the defensive. This could be the biggest personal finance setback for Canadians since the recessions of the early 1980s and 1990s. Factories could close or be relocated south, jobs lost and incomes cut. Food will cost more, and so will lots of other things you buy regularly.
