How many PMs resided over an economic crisis of this magnitude? Even if it is not the norm, it doesn't mean he can't do it. I don't think either of us can say that it has never happened in Canadian history.
I'm not saying that he should leak the whole budget, but telling Canadians at least in a general fashion how it will work in terms of the special precautions/actions that will be taken as they pertain to the recession would not be that radical of an idea. Like I said, a lot of countries have already done this and didn't have to wait for their next budgets.
