High noon and FES o'clock

FES o'clock: Meanwhile, Freeland has a fiscal update to unveil at 4 p.m. Need a metaphor for her task at hand? The Star's RYAN TUMILTY offers up a tightrope. The fishbowl's biggest question about that document: What's the federal deficit? Legions of observers in closed-door lock-ups will flip to the FES tables for the answer.

The article from POLITICO's Ottawa Playbook discusses the upcoming federal budget, highlighting the political and economic pressures facing Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland as she prepares for its release. Key points include the government's focus on housing, affordability, and economic growth amidst a backdrop of rising interest rates and public discontent. There's mention of potential policy shifts, such as changes to capital gains taxes, and the political implications of these decisions, especially with an election on the horizon. The piece also touches on internal Liberal Party dynamics, with some MPs feeling sidelined in the budget process, and the opposition's critique of the government's economic management. Additionally, there are references to recent polls showing a decline in support for the Liberals, adding urgency to the budget's reception.
