Less than 2 months away from Christmas Day, Mark Carney says he’s prepared to fight an election if he has to. As the afternoon gives way to the night sky, Canada’s Prime Minister is putting the finishing touches to a highly-anticipated federal budget, which will be released tomorrow. Losing the budget vote would plunge Canada into another election – six months after Canadian voters chose Carney as the country’s new leader.

We analyze every single outcome with our Political Heat Panel. Then, we give you a sneak-peek of Tuesday’s budget coverage. But first, it’s time to tackle today’s Question of the Day. As food insecurity is becoming more and more prominent, are you eating cheaper and unhealthier foods in an effort to save money? Text into the show and let us know.
