ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Hundreds of pages and billions of dollars, Ontario's 2026 budget will shape daily life across the province, yet its true priorities are not always obvious at first glance. TVO Today's John Michael McGrath breaks down what's in the budget and why it matters, before a deeper examination of what the numbers reveal about this government's values and fiscal health. Then, as economic uncertainty grows, we ask whether Ontario is prepared for what lies ahead, with analysis from Ricardo Tranjan of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and Rosalie Wyonch of the C.D. Howe Institute.
