Even when the government is getting rid of the Finance Minister, economics and finance take a back seat to the political drama and gossip.

Economics takes a back seat to politics- even in a historic downturn. Does the Morneau resignation signal higher taxes? What is the difference between Jane Philpot and Chrystia Freeland?

Thanks for the laughs – resigned because he was Mr Austerity… haha. Good one. Oh sure, he had to step down because of the remote chance to head the OECD – too hard to resist. No really.

That after 5 years we’re hearing leaks of a rift between the PM and Finance Minister over policy or maybe it’s a convenient excuse for the Finance Minister to leave without mentioning We Charity.

You’d better sit down for this one. The Clerk of the Privy Council spills the beans on the gaping hole in their due diligence on near billion awarded to We Charity. (Photo by The Canadian Press/Adrian Wyld)
