OTTAWA — The Liberals are paving the road to the next election with a mid-mandate budget focused on fulfilling some on-brand promises, while potentially saving room for flashier, big-ticket items that will come closer to voting day in 2019.
“The hints thus far seem to be around that they are going to play to their strengths, which is smart politics when you’re about a year and a half out from an election,” said Greg MacEachern, a former Liberal strategist with the lobby firm Environics Communications.
