Sadly I feel the general public does not care about the budget. Voters are more likely to say the crazy spending was necessary to deal with the virus. Everyone on this forum knows Trudeau spent recklessly but the average voter who isn't die hard conservative isn't going to care about the budget. They might care in 5-10 years when the lasting effects are felt, but short term, voters are pretty stupid when it comes to this stuff. Look at Trudeau winning in 2019 after spending way more than he promised in 2015, voters still voted him back in (granted less seats).
