Prime Minister Mark Carney’s second federal budget sets out a push for stronger Canadian sovereignty alongside spending on grocery-store help, local journalism and culture, according to CityNews’ The Big Story podcast.

Titled “Masters of our Destiny,” the budget also includes an ambitious goal to end homelessness. CityNews describes the package as carrying a hefty price tag, but its accompanying summary does not specify spending amounts or explain how the measures would be financed.

In the Nov. 9 episode, host Maria Kestane speaks with Craig Lord, an economics reporter and editor at The Canadian Press, about the government’s message and how Canada would pay for its plans.
