This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit hatchetmedia.ca The much anticipated budget is finally here and it promises to make "Canada Strong." Between the eye-popping promise to enable $1 trillion dollars in investments over the next five years and the $78.3 billion deficit, there’s a lot to take in. And that’s before we get into the really critical stuff… like maybe Canada will try to join Eurovision for some reason? (We don't talk about Eurovision at all). Today on The Hatchet , Jordan sits down with Arshy to break down the budget and try to make sense of what this all means for Canada.
