Story summary

On November 5, 2026, Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal government unveiled its second federal budget aimed at reducing Canada's reliance on the United States. The $142.1 billion spending plan over five years includes new programs designed to boost domestic commerce and diversify trade, emphasizing "economic independence" as outlined in the document titled 'Masters of our Destiny'. Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne highlighted that despite recent setbacks for U.S. President Donald Trump's administration, Canada remains committed to building a more resilient economy less dependent on its southern neighbor. The budget also addresses domestic concerns like affordability and business growth through new tax incentives and investments.
