Ottawa's spring economic statement introduced new funding measures, updated deficit figures and a few spending surprises, making it a modest fiscal-policy update rather than a market-moving event. The broader article also references the King's U.S. state visit and outreach to Eritrea, adding some geopolitical context. Overall tone is factual and neutral, with limited direct market implications.
