Well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions...
During that election, Trudeau promised — not predicted, • PROMISED • during one of the televised leaders’ debates — that the Canadian government under his leadership would have a $1 billion surplus this year.
Instead, Morneau’s economic update puts the deficit at $26.6 billion this year and $28.1 billion next year, before gradually shrinking to $11.6 billion in 2024-25.
It’s $12.6 billion higher than last year’s $14 billion deficit.
Apparently
the budget isn't going to "balance itself."
