On budget day this week, Alberta's finance minister will wear the same pair of cowboy boots he wore last year while tabling the fiscal plan for the province.
On budget day this week, Alberta's finance minister will wear the same pair of cowboy boots he wore last year while tabling the fiscal plan for the province.
Instead of hosting a shoe unveiling, the province released a video Monday revealing Travis Toews would wear the same pair of boots he purchased from Calgary's Alberta Boot Company last year.
"They've served me well over the past year, and I will be wearing them again this year," Toews said in the video.
The storied Canadian tradition of finance ministers unveiling the pair of shoes they will wear on budget day is said to help represent the major themes of the upcoming fiscal direction.
"The past two years have been hard," Toews said. "Your work may have changed, or maybe you lost your job. You juggled a routine that changed constantly, and on top of it all, you tried to make sense of a world that we really didn't know anymore."
The finance minister said budget 2022 will represent the province "moving forward."
"I know it's been hard, but I really believe things are looking up," Toews added. "Budget 2022 is a budget for you. For your future. For your kid's future and for Alberta's future."
