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.
