Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government unveiled its second federal budget on Thursday. The Associated Press, carried by The Washington Times, reports that it is aimed at making Canada less dependent on the United States as Donald Trump’s trade war reshapes the two countries’ economic relationship. The BBC reports that the budget includes billions for sovereignty and tackling homelessness, with spending drawn partly from an oil revenue windfall. The New York Times reports that the budget repeatedly stresses diversifying the economy away from the United States. Newsweek frames it as a tax plan meant to compete with the US for jobs.
