Talking income support in the upcoming federal budget

David Macdonald: Talking income support in the upcoming federal budget

An excerpt of David Macdonald from the recent rabble politics panel, Off the Hill: From the ‘Freedom Convoy’ to the federal budget.

David Macdonald is the senior economist at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA). He has been a commentator on national policy issues, appearing often in the Globe and Mail, Toronto Star and Canadian Press. His most recent publications include ‘Another year in paradise – CEO pay in 2020’ and ‘Still Picking up the Tab – Feds still cover almost all COVID-19 spending.’

The entire webinar can be viewed at rabble.ca/rabbletv. Off The Hill is rabble.ca’s live monthly panel which delves into current issues of national political significance through a progressive lens. Discussions are centred on impacts of politics and policy on people, and on mobilizing to bring about progressive change. The panel is hosted by alternating hosts, Libby Davies and Robin Browne.
