The Economy

As the fallout from COVID-19 adds hundreds of billions of dollars to the national debt, senior federal officials say there will be no aggressive attempts at deficit reduction until Canada's economic recovery is well underway.

Instead, the immediate aim will be to keep using the government's balance sheet to extend federal aid programs and eventually ramp up stimulus spending, instead of trying to quickly reduce the deficit.

"I think [deficit reduction] really can't happen until you know the full extent of the damage and until you get a measurement of what this did to us," said a senior federal official speaking on background.

"If you want to make this as painless as possible for people, you wouldn't rush it."

The federal deficit is ballooning due to the combination of multi-billion dollar aid programs and an economic slump that dwarfs any other recession in modern history.

HOUSTON — It’s official: the Houston Texans 2020 regular season schedule has been released.

If Houston plans to make its third straight trip to the playoffs, it won’t be an easy road. They’ll face the Super Bowl-winning Kansas City Chiefs to open the season on Thursday Night Football on Sept. 10, a team they held a 24-point lead against in the AFC divisional round before Kansas City rallied to a 51-31 victory

They'll play on the road on Thanksgiving against the Detroit Lions and also welcome Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens and the Tom Brady-less New England Patriots at NRG Stadium.
