Can the G7 find order in the chaos? Front Burner 25:42 Can the G7 find order in the chaos?

Cuts, spending, spin: The economics of party platforms
With just days until the federal election, we're cutting through the political spin and confusing math of the major parties' costed platforms. Web Copy/DAVE: Within the last week, the Liberals, Conservatives and NDP have all released their costed platforms, detailing their plans for the country and how they will pay for them. While the question of who will be Canada's next prime minister remains, it's certain they'll face a challenging economic outlook, with a Canada-U.S. trade war in full swing and a recession looming. Who's spending more and on what? How does the confusing math work? Today, we're breaking down the details with Aaron Wherry, a senior writer with CBC's Ottawa bureau. Make sure to watch our election night livestream on Monday, April 28 starting at 8pm Eastern. You can find it here on the CBC News YouTube channel [ and on the CBC News TikTok.
