💬 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 🇨🇦? Former Liberal leader Stéphane Dion spoke to Kevin Page on IFSD's 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙈𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙮 podcast about Canada's national unity. As Alberta votes this fall on whether they'll have a vote on separation, his points remain timely.

Less than half an hour until #Budget2025 is tabled. While you wait, check out IFSD's VP Sahir Khan speaking to CP24 about the high stakes and challenges facing the government today. And come back after the Budget is released for more on what today's budget means for you and 🇨🇦's economy.

Before 2008, MPs and the public were severely limited in access to public finance info. Then the Parliamentary Budget Office was created. Kevin Page's founding PBO team talk building the Office, Annette Ryan's nomination, and why its needed now. 🎧Full podcast: ifsd-thepoliticsofmoney.transistor.fm

Congratulations to Annette Ryan on her appointment as Canada's new Parliamentary Budget Officer. Last month, former PBO Kevin Page and former Asst PBOs @sahirkhan.bsky.social and Mostafa Askari spoke about the challenges facing Ms. Ryan as she takes up the position at such a pivotal moment.

The whole @ifsd.ca team is looking forward to seeing our President & CEO Kevin Page be recognized with the 2026 🌟 Award of Distinction from the Ontario Economics Association (OEA) and the Canadian Association for Business Economics (CABE), on May 12 2026.

“Europeans and Canadians have always loved each other. But we never felt that we needed each other.” That has changed. As we see with PM Carney back Europe. The latest Politics of Money podcast has Stéphane Dion with Kevin Page, talking external sovereignty pressures and internal unity threats.

Canada isn’t unique in facing tensions between central governments and provinces or states. But Stéphane Dion reflects on what does set 🇨🇦 apart: strong decentralization and the risk of “𝘧𝘶𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘺 𝘱𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵.”

Trump's budget calls for billions in cuts to lifesaving research, but a $1.5 trillion war budget. I asked Trump's NIH Director how he could justify a budget that puts defense contractors ahead of cancer research. He couldn't. I’m throwing Trump’s budget in the trash.
