LIVE @ 8PM ET: UnpublishedTV - Canada's Economic Update
Canadians got a snapshot of the country’s finances in the Fall Economic Update, and it comes splashed in red ink. How rough will the financial waters be for Canada as we head into winter in the second wave of the pandemic?
The COVID pandemic and its effects are the target in Minister Freeland’s update. Government revenues are down as the feds get set for another round of spending to navigate through the second wave, piling Canada’s deficit to almost 400 billion dollars. We wanted to know from our viewers - which of the measures introduced in the fiscal update do they think will be most helpful to Canadians?

- 23% said Overhauling the Tax System
- 6% said Other
- 2% said $1 Billion for Long Term Care
- 2% said National Child Care Program
