Canada is almost smack-dab in the middle of the freest spending six months ever by any federal government.
Even in the build-up to D-Day during the Second World War, when all the Allies were buying ships, tanks, bombs, guns and planes to defeat Nazi Germany, Ottawa never spent money like it has in the middle of this pandemic.
The Liberals – who only have a minority – have largely governed without opposition for the past three months and intend to continue doing so for at least three more.
Despite the unprecedented spending, we have seen no budget this year. Finance Minister Bill Morneau hasn’t even tabled official spending estimates, so it is impossible to know where all the money is going.
