Next in line for a lump of coal from Santa is Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, on the CTF’s naughty list for spending $20 billion over her own budget. Freeland originally said she would spend $452 billion of taxpayers’ money this year, but in her mid-year budget update seven months later, that increased to $472 billion.
