For morning readers, here’s a thread linking to the rest of the @TorontoStar Ottawa bureau’s budget coverage:
Justin Trudeau has a budget bucket list — and it’s aimed at Pierre Poilievre. @susandelacourt’s column: thestar.com/politics/justi… via @TorontoStar

Sometimes a rambling jalopy of a sentence rolls into the copy shop for a tuneup, but you have neither the tools nor the time to fix everything that’s wrong with it, so you just give it a quick tense change and send it on its way.
Hi friends! ✨ I’m heartbroken to share I have been laid off from Global News. I poured my heart and soul into the work I did alongside amazing colleagues, and I dealt with some horrifying backlash for it. But I wouldn't change a thing.
Late at this but @TondaMacC is truly the best. Love that @chrishallcbc "retires" and Tonda chooses to get busier ;) #journalism #thebest #cdnpoli
@TondaMacC Congratulations Tonda! Well deserved - you’re going to do a great job.
