That ought to take some wind out of PP's sails.

Not that he is likely to change his dishonest tune...

"If I were prime minister we'd have no deficit" - Tiny PP.

Yes of course because we'd no longer be a sovereign nation. You'd be our governor and Marlaina Melania Danielle Smith would be our transitional envoy to DC.

I'll take MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ over KKK and SS, thanks.

Oh huh, he actually said that verbatim, I'm so tired of hearing from him, wish he'd gone away when he'd lost his seat.

"If I were PM everything would be good!"

How are these budgets accurate at predicting $60-$70B deficits then the number is actually $25B?

Or has Carney learned Harper accounting?

Possibly extra revenue from oil. The bump in prices and the increased demand must have contributed a pile.
